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.10.1  Top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two
ovens. It has 3 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.
10.2  Main oven
The main oven is particularly suitable for
cooking larger quantities of food.
10.3  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. Whenthe trays become cold again, the
distortions are gone.10.4  Tips on bakingBaking resultsPossible causeRemedyThe bottom of the cake is
not browned sufficiently.The shelf position is incor-
rect.Put the cake on a lower

ing times by setting higher
temperatures.www.aeg.com16

• Use heat-resistant ovenware to roast (refer to the instructions of the
manufacturer).
• You can roast large roasting joints directly 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 inthe roasting tin without the lid.www.aeg.com20
