HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS The temperature and baking times in the tables are guidelines only. They depend on the rec- ipes and the quality and quantity of the ingredients used.11.1 Advice for special heating functions of the oven Keep Warm Use this function if you want to keep food warm. The temperature regulates itself auto- matically to 80 °C. ENGLISH21
Plate Warming For warming plates and dishes. Distribute plates and dishes evenly on the oven shelf. Move stacks around after half of the warming time (swap top and bottom). The automatic temperature is 70 °C. Recommended shelf position: 3. Dough Proving You can use this automatic function with any recipe for yeast dough you like. It gives you a good atmosphere for rising. Put the dough into a dish that is big enough for rising and cover it with a wet towel or plastic foil. Insert a wire shelf on level one and put the dish in. Close the door and set the function dough prov- ing. Set the necessary time. 11.2 Baking General instructions • Your new oven can bake or roast dif- ferently to the appliance you had be- fore. Adapt your usual settings (tem-perature, cooking times) and shelf po- sitions to the values in the tables. • With longer baking times, you can de- activate the oven approximately 10 mi- nutes 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. How to use the Baking 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 level. • Cakes and pastries at different heights do not always brown equally at first. If this occurs, do not change the tem- perature setting. The differences equalize during the baking procedure. 11.3 Tips on baking Baking resultsPossible causeRemedy The bottom of the cake is not browned suffi- ciently.The shelf position is in- correct.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 cake sinks and be- comes soggy, lumpy or streaky.The baking time is too short.Set a longer baking time. You cannot decrease baking times by setting higher temperatures. The cake sinks and be- comes soggy, lumpy or streaky.There is too much liquid in the mixture.Use less liquid. Be care- ful with mixing times, es- pecially if you use a mix- ing machine. The cake is too dry.The oven temperature is too low.The next time you bake, set a higher oven tem- perature.

Baking resultsPossible causeRemedy The cake browns un- evenly.The oven temperature is too high and the baking time is too short.Set a lower oven temper- ature and a longer bak- ing time. The cake browns un- evenly.The mixture is unevenly distributed.Spread the mixture evenly on the baking tray. The cake is not ready in the baking time given.The oven temperature is too low.The next time you bake, set a slightly higher oven temperature. 11.4 Baking on one oven level General instructions • Your new oven may bake or roast dif- ferently to the appliance you had be- fore. Adapt your usual settings (tem- perature, cooking times) and shelf lev- els to the values in the tables. With longer baking times, the oven can be switched off about 10 minutes before the end of baking time, to use the resid- ual heat. When you use frozen food, the trays in the oven can twist during baking. When the trays get cold again, the distortion will be gone.How to use the Baking Tables • We recommend to use the lower tem- perature the first time. If you cannot find the settings for a spe- cial recipe, look for the one that is al- most the same. Baking time can be extended by 10 - 15 minutes, if you bake cakes on more than one level. Cakes and pastries at different heights do not always brown equally at first. If this occurs, do not change the tempera- ture setting. The differences equalize during the baking procedure.

This will keep the meat more succulent. • All types of meat, that can be browned or have crackling, can be roasted in the roasting tin without the lid. • Use heat-resistant ovenware to roast (refer to the instructions of the manu- facturer). • You can roast large roasting joints di- rectly in the deep pan (if present) or on the wire shelf above the deep pan. • Roast lean meats in the roasting tin with the lid. This keeps the meat more succulent.• All types of meat that can be browned or have crackling can be roasted in the roasting tin without the lid. • We recommend that you cook meat and fish weighing 1 kg and above in the oven. • To prevent the meat juices or fat from burning onto the pan, put some liquid into the deep pan. • If necessary, turn the roast (after 1 / 2 - 2 / 3 of the cooking time). • Baste large roasts and poultry with their juices several times during roast- ing. This gives better roasting results. • You can deactivate the appliance ap- proximately 10 minutes before the end of the roasting time, and use the residual heat.
