Hints and tips
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
Cooking recommendations
The temperature and cooking times in the tables are guidelines only. They depend
on the recipes and the quality and quantity of the ingredients used.
Your oven may bake or roast differently to the oven you had before. The tables be‐
low show recommended settings for temperature, cooking time and shelf position for
specific types of the food.
If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the similar one.
For more cooking recommendations refer to cooking tables on our website. To find
the Cooking Hints check the PNC number on the rating plate on the front frame of
the oven cavity.

Baking
For the first baking, use the lower
temperature.
You can extend the baking time 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 distort during
baking. When the trays are cold again,
the distortions disappear.
