Use a deep baking tray for very

cause permanent stains on the
enamel.
9.1 Baking
General instructions
• Your new oven may bake or roast dif-
ferently to the appliance you had be-
fore. Adapt your usual settings (tem-
perature, cooking times) and shelf lev-
els to the values in the tables.
• With longer baking times, the oven
can be switched off about 10 minutes
before the end of baking time, to use
the residual heat.
When you use frozen food, the trays
in the oven can twist during baking.

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
special recipe, look for the one that is
almost 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 tem-
perature setting. The differences
equalize during the baking procedure.
Possible cause
Wrong shelf position.
The oven temperature is
too high.
The baking time is too
short.
There is too much liquid
in the mixture.
The oven temperature is
too low.
The baking time is too
long.
The oven temperature is
too high and the baking
time is too short.
The mixture is unevenly
distributed.
Remedy
Place the cake lower.
The next time you bake
set a slightly lower oven
temperature.
Set a longer baking time.
Baking times cannot be
reduced by setting
higher temperatures.
Use less liquid. Pay at-
tention to mixing times,
especially if you use a
mixing machine.
The next time you bake
set a higher oven tem-
perature.
The next time you bake
set a shorter baking
time.
Set a lower oven temper-
ature and a longer bak-
ing time.
Spread the mixture
evenly on the baking
tray.
