11. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
The temperature and baking
times in the tables are guidelines
only. They depend on the rec-
ipes and the quality and quantity
of the ingredients used.
11.1 Advice for special
heating functions of the oven
Keep Warm
Use this function if you want to keep
food warm.
The temperature regulates itself auto-
matically to 80 °C.
Plate Warming
For warming plates and dishes.
Distribute plates and dishes evenly on
the oven shelf. Move stacks around after
half of the warming time (swap top and
bottom).
The automatic temperature is 70 °C.
Recommended shelf position: 3.
Dough Proving
You can use this automatic function with
any recipe for yeast dough you like. It
gives you a good atmosphere for rising.
Put the dough into a dish that is big
enough for rising and cover it with a wet
towel or plastic foil. Insert a wire shelf on
level one and put the dish in. Close the
door and set the function dough prov-
ing. Set the necessary time.
11.2 Baking
General instructions
• Your new oven can bake or roast dif-
ferently to the appliance you had be-
fore. Adapt your usual settings (tem-
perature, cooking times) and shelf po-
sitions to the values in the tables.
• With longer baking times, you can de-
activate the oven approximately 10 mi-
18 www.aeg.com

nutes before the end of the baking
time and then use the residual heat.
When you cook frozen food, the trays
in the oven can twist during baking.
When the trays become cold again,
the distortions are gone.
How to use the Baking Tables
• The manufacturer recommends that
you 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.
• You can extend baking times 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 tem-
perature setting. The differences
equalize during the baking procedure.

11.4 Baking on one oven level
General instructions
• Your new oven may bake or roast dif-
ferently to the appliance you had be-
fore. Adapt your usual settings (tem-
perature, cooking times) and shelf lev-
els 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 resid-
ual 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 tem-
perature the first time.
If you cannot find the settings for a spe-
cial recipe, look for the one that is al-
most 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 tempera-
ture setting. The differences equalize
during the baking procedure.
