Siemens HB73GB550, Instruction Manual

Shelf heights for baking on 3 levels:

■

Baking tray: level 5

■

Universal pan: level 3

■

Baking tray: level 1

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.
