Information on acrylamides
Important! According to the newest scientific
knowledge, if you brown food (specially the one which
contains starch), acrylamides can pose a health risk.
Thus, we recommend that you cook at the lowest
temperatures and do not brown food too much.
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 especially good results when used to cook fruit-
cakes, sweets and savoury flants or quiche.
Main oven
The main oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger
quantities of food.

Temperature too low
(temperature, cooking times) and shelf levels 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. When the trays get cold again, the
distortion will be gone.
How to use the Baking Tables
• We recommend to use the lower temperature 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 temperature setting. The differences equalize dur-
ing the baking procedure.
Put the cake on a lower oven level
Use a lower setting
Set a longer baking time
Do not set higher temperatures to decrease bak-
ing times
Use less liquid. Look at the mixing times, spe-
cially when you use mixing machines
Set a higher oven temperature
Set a shorter baking time
Set a lower oven temperature and a longer bak-
ing time
Put the mixture equally on the baking tray
Use a slightly higher oven temperature setting
