Inner side of door
On the inner side of the oven door you can find:
• the numbers of the shelf levels
• information about the oven functions, recommended shelf levels and temperatures for
typical dishes.
The temperature and baking times in the tables are guidelines only. They depend on the
recipes, quality and quantity of the ingredients used.
Baking
General instructions
• Your new oven may bake or roast differently to the appliance you had before. Adapt
your usual settings (temperature, cooking times) and shelf levels to the values in the
tables.
• With longer baking times, the oven can be switched off about 10 minutes before the
end of baking time, to use the residual heat.
When you use frozen food, the trays in the oven can twist during baking. When the
trays get cold again, the distortion will be gone.
How to use the Baking Tables
• We recommend to use the lower temperature the first time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the one that is almost the
same.
• Baking time can be extended by 10-15 minutes, if you bake cakes on more than one
level.
• 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 pro-
cedure.

Roasting
Set in the fat filter when you roast!
Roasting dishes
• Use heat-resistant ovenware to roast (please read the instructions of the manufacturer).
• Large roasting joints can be roasted directly in the deep roasting pan or on the oven
shelf above the deep roasting pan. (If present)
• Roast lean meats in a roasting tin with a lid. This well keep the meat more succulent.

tin without the lid.
The data in the table is for guidance only.
Tips on using the roasting table.
• Roast meat and fish that weighs more than 1 kg .
• Put some water in the roasting tray to prevent meat juices or fat from burning to the
pan.
• Turn the meat if it is necessary (after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking time).
• For better results, baste large pieces of meat and poultry with the cooking juices several
times during the cooking time.
• Stop the oven approximately 10 minutes before the end of roasting time to use the
residual heat.

Preserving
• Only use usual preserving jars of the same dimension.
• Do not use jars with twist-off or bayonet type lids and metal tins.
• Use the first shelf level from the bottom.
• Use the baking tray. You can put six 1-litre jars maximum on it.
• Fill all the jars to the same level and close them correctly.
• Put the jars on the shelf, make sure that they do not touch each other.
• Fill approximately 1/2 litre of water into the flat baking tray to have sufficient moisture
in the oven.
• When the liquid lightly starts to bubble in the first jars (after about 35-60 minutes with
1 litre jars), switch off the oven or decrease the temperature to 100°C ( see table).
