10. OVEN - HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to the Safety chapters.
CAUTION!
Use the deep roasting pan for
very moist cakes. Fruit juices can
cause permanent stains on the
enamel.
The temperature and baking times
in the tables are guidelines only.
They depend on the recipes, qual-
ity and quantity of the ingredients
used.
10.1 Top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two
ovens. It has 3 shelf levels. Use is to cook
smaller quantities of food. It gives espe-
cially 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
General instructions
• Your new oven may bake or roast dif-
ferently to the appliance you had be-
fore. Adapt your usual settings (temper-
ature, cooking times) and shelf levels to
the values in the tables.
• With longer baking times, the oven can
be switched off about 10 minutes be-
fore the end of baking time, to use the
residual heat.
• Use deep roasting pan in middle or top
shelf level of top oven.
• To brown pastry dishes on the bottom,
cook on metal plate or put on a baking
tray.
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 temper-
ature setting. The differences equalize
during the baking procedure.
