from the vicinity of the appliance
location during and after the
Pyrolytic cleaning and first use
maximum temperature operation to
a well ventilated area.
• Small pets can also be highly sensitive
to the localized temperature changes in
the vicinity of all Pyrolytic Ovens when
the Pyrolytic self cleaning program is in
operation.
• Non-stick surfaces on pots, pans,
trays, utensils etc., can be damaged by
the high temperature Pyrolytic cleaning
operation of all Pyrolytic Ovens and
can be also a source for low level
harmful fumes.
• Fumes released from all Pyrolytic
Ovens / Cooking Residues as
described are not harmful to humans,
including infants or persons with
medical conditions.

10. OVEN - HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
The temperature and baking
times in the tables are
guidelines only. They depend
on the recipes and the quality
and quantity of the
ingredients used.
10.1 Baking
• Your oven can bake or roast differently
to the appliance you had before. Adapt
your usual settings (temperature,
cooking times) and shelf positions to
the values in the 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 shelf position.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights
do not always brown equally at first. If
this occurs, do not change the
www.electrolux.com16

temperature setting. The differences
equalize during the baking procedure.
• With longer baking times, you can
deactivate the oven approximately 10
minutes 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.
10.2 Tips on baking
Baking results Possible cause Remedy
The bottom of the cake is
not browned sufficiently. The shelf position is incor- rect. Put the cake on a lower shelf.
The cake sinks and be-
comes soggy, lumpy or
streaky.
The oven temperature is too
high. The next time you bake, set a slightly lower oven tem-
perature.
The cake sinks and be-
comes soggy, lumpy or
streaky.
The baking time is too
short. Set a longer baking time. You cannot decrease
baking times by setting
higher temperatures.
The cake sinks and be-
comes soggy, lumpy or
streaky.
There is too much liquid in
the mixture. Use less liquid. Be careful with mixing times, especially
if you use a mixing ma-
chine.
The cake is too dry. The oven temperature is too
low. The next time you bake, set a higher oven temperature.
The cake is too dry. The baking time is too long. The next time you bake, set
a shorter baking time.
The cake browns unevenly. The oven temperature is too
high and the baking time is
too short.
Set a lower oven tempera-
