Grease filter
(depending on the model).
Inserted grease filter at the rear panel of the
oven protects the fan, the heater and the oven
from accidental staining with grease. For
roasting meat we recommend the use of
grease.
Remove the filter when baking pastry. Grease
filter might cause unsuccessful baking of some
kinds of pastry.
Baking pastry
Most appropriate position for baking is the
application of both upper and lower heater, or
the hot air.
Note! Grease filter must always be
removed!
Warnings
• When baking pastry, strictly follow the
instructions regarding the selection of guide
level, temperature and baking time, and do
not rely on any previous experience,
because information indicated in the baking
tables have been determined and tested
specially for this particular type of oven.
• In case you may not find any particular type
of cake in the tables, use the information
available for the next most similar type of
cake.
Baking with upper and lower heater
• Use only a single guide level.
• This baking position is especially suitable for
baking dry pastry, bread and teacakes.Use
dark baking pans. Light pans reflect heat
and pastry is not adequately browned.
• Always place baking pans on the grid rack.
Remove the grid only if baking in the flat
biscuit tray, supplied with the appliance.
• Preheating shortens the baking time. Do not
put the cake in the oven until proper
temperature is obtained, and until the red
signal lamp goes off for the first time.
Baking with hot air
• This mode of baking is especially suitable for
baking at multiple levels, for moist pastry
and fruit cakes.
• You may use light models.
• The temperature is usually lower than baking
with upper/lower heater (see Baking Table).
• Moist pastry (i.e. fruit cake) may be baked at
maximum two levels at the same time,
because of excessive humidity.
• Different cakes may be baked together if the
necessary temperature is approximately the
same.
• Baking time may be different for different
pastry, so you may have to take one pan out
before the others.
• Cookies, like for example muffins, should be
of equal size and thickness. Uneven cookies
are baked unevenly.
• If you bake more than one cake at the same
time, it may produce excessive steaming in
the oven and condensation at the oven door.
Baking tips
Is pastry baked?
Pierce the cake with a wooden peg at the
thickest part. If the dough does not stick to it,
the cake is baked. You may switch off the oven
and use the remaining heat.
Pastry has fallen
Check the recipe. Use less fluids next time.
Follow the mixing times, especially when using
powered kitchen mixers.
Pastry is too light below
Use dark baking pan next time, or place the
pan one level lower, or switch on the lower
heater a while before the completion.
Cheese cake is undercooked
Next time reduce the baking temperature and
extend the baking time.
Warnings regarding the baking tables:
• The tables indicate the temperature range.
Always select lower temperature first. You
may always increase the temperature in
case pastry needs more baking.
• Baking times are indicative only. They may
vary in dependence of individual
characteristics.
• The asterix indicates that the oven requires
preheating.
