Baking
Hot air convection #
FBaking is possible on two levels simultaneously.
Rack levels:
1 tray: 3rd rack level from the bottom
2 trays: 2nd and 5th rack levels from the bottom
■ If you are baking on two levels simultaneously you should use for rack
level 5 the enamel baking tray and for rack level 2 an aluminium tray
(acc. No. 542).
■ If you are baking several cakes in baking tins at the same time, add about
5 to 10 minutes for each additional tray used.
■ You can take out one baking tray at a time if you wish, and leave the others
to continue baking.
■ Bake with Hot air convection # , at a temperature of 160 °C. If there are
no instructions for baking with Hot air convection in your recipe.
■ Important! Baking cakes with a moist fruit topping generates a lot of excess
moisture. You should bake only one cake at the same time.

15 minutes.

– Place the baking tray in rack level 1.
– Set the mode selector on Pizza mode at 250 °C. The pizza is ready
after 20 – 25 minutes.
Notes on the table: “Guidelines for baking”
The table on page 22 contains a selection of cakes etc., the necessary
temperatures, cooking times and rack levels.
■ A temperature range is given, since the optimum temperature depends on
the recipe you are using for the dough and the size and shape of the item
you are baking.
■ We recommend that you use the lower temperature to start with, increasing
it only if you want a deeper brown or if baking is taking too long.
■ If you are not sure how to bake your own recipes, select a similar one from
the table and use the temperatures and baking times as a guide.
■ Food that is dissimilar in height will brown differently at the beginning.
Please do not change the temperature setting, because this will even itself
out as baking continues.
Guidelines for baking
The recommended temperatures for the preferred operating modes are high-
lighted. Please refer to the notes on the table on p. 22!
