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.
Double oven
Top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It
has 4 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.
Main oven
The main oven is the bigger of the two ovens. It
is particularly suitable for cooking larger
quantities of food.
Baking
• Your oven can bake or roast differently to the
appliance you had before. Adapt your usual
settings (temperature, cooking times) and
shelf positions to the values in the tables.
• The manufacturer recommends that you 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.
• 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 at first. If this
occurs, do not change the temperature
setting. The differences equalize during the
baking procedure.
• With longer baking times, you can deactivate
the oven approximately 10 minutes before
the end of the baking time and then use the
residual heat.
When you cook frozen food, the trays in the
oven can twist during baking. When the trays
become cold again, the distortions are gone.
