Tested for you in our cooking studio

Here you will find a selection of dishes and the ideal settings for 

them. We will show you which type of heating and which 

temperature are best suited for your dish. You can find 

information about suitable accessories and the height at which 

they should be inserted. There are also tips about cookware 

and preparation methods.

Notes

■

The values in the table always apply to dishes placed into the 

cooking compartment when it is cold and empty.
Only preheat the appliance if the table specifies that you 

should do so. Do not line the accessories with greaseproof 

paper until after they have been preheated.

■

The times specified in the tables are guidelines only. They will 

depend on the quality and composition of the food.

■

Use the accessories supplied. Additional accessories may be 

obtained as special accessories from specialist retailers or 

from the after-sales service.
Before using the oven, remove any unnecessary accessories 

and ovenware from the cooking compartment.

■

Always use oven gloves when taking hot accessories or 

ovenware out of the cooking compartment.

Baking trays that are placed in the oven at the same time will 

not necessarily be ready at the same time.
The tables show numerous suggestions for your dishes.
If you are baking with 3 cake/loaf tins at the same time, place 

these on the wire racks as indicated in the picture.

Baking tins

It is best to use dark-coloured metal baking tins.
Baking times are increased when light-coloured baking tins 

made of thin metal or glass dishes are used, and cakes do not 

brown so evenly.
If you wish to use silicone baking tins, use the information and 

recipes provided by the manufacturer as a guide. Silicone 

baking tins are often smaller than normal tins. The amount of 

mixture and recipe instructions may differ.

Tables

The tables show the ideal type of heating for the various cakes 

and pastries. The temperature and baking time depend on the 

amount and composition of the mixture. This is why 

temperature ranges are given in the tables. You should try the 

lower temperature first, since a lower temperature results in 

more even browning. You can increase the temperature next 

time if necessary.
If you preheat the oven, the baking time is shortened by 5 to 10 

minutes.
