11Uses, Tables and Tips
General instructions
• Insert the tray with the bevel at the front.
• You can also bake two cake tins next to each other on the oven shelf at the
same time. This only slightly increases the baking time.
3 When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking. This
is due to the large difference in temperature between the freezing temperature
and the temperature in the oven. Once the trays have cooled the distortion will
disappear again.
How to use the baking tables
The following tables give the required temperature settings, cooking times and
oven levels for a selection of dishes.
• The temperatures and baking times are a guide as they depend on the ingredi-
ents in the dough, the amount and the baking tin.
• For the first time we recommend setting a lower temperature and only if nec-
essary, for example if you want it to brown more or if the baking is taking too
long, select a higher temperature.
• If you cannot find any specific settings for one of your own recipes, look for
one that is most similar.
• When baking cakes on baking trays or in tins on more than one level, baking
time can be extended by 10-15 minutes.
• Moist cakes and pastries (e.g. pizzas, fruit flans, etc.) are baked on one level.
• Differences in the height of the items can cause differences in the degree of
browning at the beginning of the baking process. Please do not change the
temperature setting if this occurs. Differences in the degree of browning even
out during the baking process.
• Your new oven may bake or roast differently from your previous appliance. If
this is the case, adjust your normal settings (temperature, cooking times) and
oven levels to the recommendations in the tables below.
2 With longer baking times, you can switch the oven off about 10 minutes before
the end of the cooking time in order to use the residual heat.
Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that cooking is
started with the oven cold.
