OVEN - HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

The temperature and baking

times in the tables are

guidelines only. They

depend on the recipes and

the quality and quantity of

the ingredients used.

Always preheat an empty

oven at the temperature

required for the food for 20

minutes before you start

cooking.

11.1 

Top oven

The top oven is the smaller of the two

ovens. It has 3 shelf positions. Use it to

cook smaller quantities of food. It gives

especially good results when used to

cook fruitcakes, sweets and savoury flants

or quiche.

11.2 

Main oven

The main oven is particularly suitable for

cooking larger quantities of food.

11.3 

Baking

• Use the lower temperature the first

time.

• You can extend baking times by 10 –

15 minutes if you bake cakes on more

than one shelf position.

• Cakes and pastries at different

heights do not always brown equally.

There is no need to change the

temperature setting if an unequal

browning occurs. The differences

equalize during baking.

• Trays in the oven can twist during

baking. When the trays become cold

again, the distortions disappear.

Tips on baking

Baking results

Possible cause

Remedy

The bottom of the cake
is not browned suffi-
ciently.

The shelf position is incor-
rect.

Put the cake on a lower shelf.

The cake sinks and be-
comes soggy, lumpy or
streaky.

The oven temperature is
too high.

The next time you bake, set a
slightly lower oven temperature.

The baking time is too
short.

Set a longer baking time. You
cannot decrease baking times by
setting higher temperatures.

There is too much liquid in
the mixture.

Use less liquid. Be careful with
mixing times, especially if you use
a mixing machine.

The cake is too dry.

The oven temperature is
too low.

The next time you bake, set a
higher oven temperature.

The baking time is too long. The next time you bake, set a

shorter baking time.
