Inner side of door

On the inner side of the oven door you can find:

• the numbers of the shelf levels

• information about the oven functions, recommended shelf levels and temperatures for

typical dishes.

The temperature and baking times in the tables are guidelines only. They depend on the recipes, quality and quantity of the ingredients used.

Baking

General instructions

• Your new oven may bake or roast differently to the appliance you had before. Adapt

your usual settings (temperature, cooking times) and shelf levels 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 residual 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 temperature the first time.

Helpful hints and tips

• If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the one that is almost 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 temperature setting. The differences equalize during the baking procedure.
