than one shelf position.
• Cakes and pastries at different
heights do not always brown equally
at first. If this occurs, do not change
the temperature setting. The
differences equalize during the
baking procedure.
• Trays in the oven can twist during
baking. When the trays become cold
again, the distortions disappear.
