turns on automatically to keep the
surfaces of the oven cool. If you turn off
the oven, the cooling fan can continue to
operate until the oven cools down.
10. HINTS AND TIPS
ENGLISH 15
Refer to Safety chapters.
10.2 Baking
For the first baking, use the lower
temperature.
10.1 Double oven
Top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two
ovens. It has 4 shelf positions. Use it to
cook smaller quantities of food. It gives
especially good results when used to
cook fruitcakes, sweets and savoury
flans or quiche.
Main oven
The main oven is the bigger of the two
ovens. It is particularly suitable for
cooking larger quantities of food.
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.
