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.

• 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

level.

• 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.

become cold again, the distortions are gone.
