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 Top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two
ovens. It has 3 shelf positions. Use it to
cook smaller quantities of food. It gives
especially good results when used to cook
fruitcakes, sweets and savoury flants or
quiche.
10.2 Main oven
The main oven is particularly suitable for
cooking larger quantities of food.
10.3 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
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.
10.4 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.
www.electrolux.com16

Baking results Possible cause Remedy
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-
ture and a longer baking
time.

10.7 Roasting
• Use heat-resistant ovenware to roast
(refer to the instructions of the
manufacturer).
• You can roast large roasting joints
directly in the deep pan (if present) or
on the wire shelf above the deep pan.
• Roast lean meats in the roasting tin
with the lid. This keeps the meat more
succulent.
• All types of meat that can be browned
or have crackling can be roasted in the
roasting tin without the lid.
• We recommend that you cook meat
and fish weighing 1 kg and above in
the appliance.
• To prevent the meat juices or fat from
burning onto the pan, put some liquid
into the deep pan.
• If necessary, turn the roast (after 1/2 -
2/3 of the cooking time).
• Baste large roasts and poultry with
their juices several times during
roasting. This gives better roasting
results.
• You can deactivate the appliance
approximately 10 minutes before the
end of the roasting time, and use the
residual heat.
