9. 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.
9.1 Inner side of the door
In some models, on the inner side of
the door you can find:
• the numbers of the shelf positions.
• information about the oven functions,
recommended shelf positions and
temperatures for typical dishes.
9.2 Baking
• Your oven may 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.

9.8 Roasting
• 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 in
the roasting tin without the lid.
• We recommend that you cook meat
and fish weighing 1 kg and above in
the appliance.
• 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
roasting. This gives better roasting
results.
• You can deactivate the appliance
approximately 10 minutes before the
end of the roasting time, and use the
residual heat.
