Safety
Safety
Cooker technology is constantly improving. The way you use your new cooker may be different from the way
you used your old one. Please read the whole instruction book before using your new cooker. This cooker is
intended for normal domestic use. Take care of the instruction book which will be needed by the new owner if the
cooker is sold or passed on to someone else. Do not hesitate to contact us with questions or viewpoints about the
cooker and its use.
ANY TEXT MARKED WITH A warning triangle is to do with safety. PLEASE READ THESE TEXTS CAREFULLY, so that you
do not harm yourself, others or the cooker.
Children and the cooker
Children are naturally curious and interested in most
things, including the cooker. From a safety point of
view, we would like to emphasis the following for
those with children at home:
There should be worktops on both sides of the
cooker extending at least 40 cm to left and to right.
Alternatively the cooker can be installed with a wall or
a tall kitchen unit on one side and a worktop on the
other side. The

Do not let children use the razor blade scraper.
Children should be allowed to help with cooking,
but teach them that pans, hotplates and ovens become
hot and retain their heat for some time after use.
TOUCHING THESE CAN CAUSE BURNS.

OVEN and HOB SAFETY LOCKS.
Installation
Work on the cooker must be carried out by a qualified
electrician. Work performed by unqualified persons
can damage the cooker, and may also lead to personal
injury and/or damage to property.
The cooker is heavy. Certain edges and corners
which will not normally be exposed may be sharp. Use
gloves when moving the cooker.
The
NON-TIP DEVICE should be fitted, to prevent the
cooker from tipping if subjected to an abnormal
loading.
When using the cooker
Never use the ceramic hob if it is cracked, as water
from spillages and/or cleaning could penetrate down to
live conductors. If the hob is damaged, disconnect the
cooker from the electrical supply and contact your service centre to have the cooker repaired.
Never place aluminium foil, plastics etc. on the
ceramic hob. If a hotplate is switched on by mistake,
these materials will rapidly start to burn or melt.
Never leave the cooker unattended while deep frying, or when using it for melting fats, paraffin wax or
other flammable substances. In the event of a fire, turn
off all the controls and turn off the cooker hood fan.
SMOTHER THE FIRE WITH A PAN LID, never use water.
Use only pans which are intended for ceramic hobs.
Use only ovenproof dishes and containers in the oven.
Check the bases of your pans. Pans with convex bases
are poor conductors of heat, and also tend to spin
easily on the flat ceramic hob. Check that the cooker is
switched off when not in use. All controls should be
turned off.
Cleaning
Keep the ceramic hob and oven clean. Fat and spillages give off smoke and odours when heated, and, at
worst, can cause fires.
Use the scraper to remove immediately (while the
hob is still warm) any spilt sugar or syrups (e.g. jam),
and melted plastics and foil. These can damage the hob
if left. Be careful as the razor blade is extremely sharp.
Maintenance and service
Turn all controls off before changing any bulbs.
Service and repairs should be carried out by a service company approved by the supplier. Use only
spare parts supplied by such companies.
At the end of the cooker’s life
Help prevent accidents when the cooker has reached
the end of its useful life. Make sure first that the lead is
completely disconnected from the electrical supply
(pull out the plug, or have the cooker safely disconnected from the wall), then cut the electrical lead at the
point where it enters the cooker. Make sure that the
door catch/door catches have been deactivated.

The safety equipment
The safety equipment
There should be at least 40 cm of worktops on both sides
of the cooker
(SEE PICTURE). Alternatively the cooker can be
installed with a wall or a tall kitchen unit on one side and
a worktop on the other.
Child safety is further improved if the following
equipment is fitted/in use:
Non-tip device
The non-tip device should be fitted, to prevent the
cooker from tipping if subjected to an abnormal
loading. The non-tip device can only provide protection when the cooker is pushed into its normal
position.
Before fitting the non-tip device, make sure the cooker has
been levelled and adjusted to the correct plinth height (see
“Installation” on p. 28).
1 Draw a line on the wall – after levelling the
cooker – along the top edge of the hob (see illustration).
2 The measurements shown can be applied
whether the non-tip device is fitted on the left or
the right (see illustration). Measure and mark
where the non-tip device is to be placed, then
screw it onto a solid material or a suitable reinforcement or fixings.
NOTE! If the space between kitchen units is wider than
the cooker, you will need to alter the measurements
shown in the illustration if the cooker is to be centred.
3 If you alter the measurements, remember to
align the cooker correctly when pushing it into
place, so that the non-tip device enters the hole
on the cooker rear.

Using the hob
NEVER USE THE CERAMIC HOB IF IT IS CRACKED.
Spilt water could seep through to the live conductors. Disconnect the cooker from the power
supply and contact your service centre to have
the cooker repaired. Use the scraper to
REMOVE IMMEDIATELY (while the hob is still
warm) any spilt sugar or syrups (e.g. jam), and
melted plastics and foil. These can damage the
hob if left. Never leave the cooker unattended
while deep fat frying, or when using it for melting fats, paraffin wax or other flammable substances. In the event of a fire, turn off all the
controls and the cooker hood fan.
FIRE WITH A PAN LID, never use water.
Automax is a heating device which means the hotplate
does not need to be set on the highest heat and then
turned down to a lower heat for simmering or frying as
is normally the case. You can start simmering or frying

The ceramic hob
Automax does not come on again if you alter the control setting while you are cooking/frying. For example,
if you have set the control at 4 and you change it to 5,
the cooking time will remain for setting 4.
The length of time the hotplate is on at the highest
temperature depends on which heat you have selected.
To change the heat setting when Automax is in use,
you first need to reset the control before you choose a
new heat setting.
A general rule is to use 2 to 5 for simmering and 6
to 8 for frying. 1 is best for gentle heating. You will
need to try out the different heat settings and hotplates
to find which suit you and your pans best. Below is a
brief guide to suitable heat settings and hotplates. Each
zone corresponds to a number in the tables (see

Suggestions when boiling food
The sound and size of the water bubbles can help you
to choose the correct setting:
GENTLE HEAT: Simmering with tiny bubbles as in carbon-
ated water. Suitable for cooking rice, fish and vegetables
such as sugar peas and broccoli.
MEDIUM HEAT: Gently boiling with larger bubbles. Suit-
able for boiling most foods, such as meat, root vegetables and potatoes.
HOT: The sound disappears before the water starts bub-
bling vigorously. Suitable for boiling water for pasta
and rice. Then turn the heat down for gentler cooking.

Suggestions when frying food
It is best when frying not to use food that has come
straight out of the refrigerator. Only about 2/3 of the
bottom of the pan should be covered by food.
Put the margarine or butter in the frying pan and
turn on to the recommended heat. The colour of the fat
indicates when it is time to start frying. Hold a lightcoloured spatula to the bottom of the pan to see the
colour of the fat.

window for these hotplates until you have reset the
controls.
Choosing suitable pans
Greater attention needs to be paid to the type and condition of pans used on ceramic hobs than it does with
radiant hobs. Here are some points to remember:
• Check the pan bases. Bases which are convex (curve
outwards) will tend to spin on the hob and will not
conduct heat very well.
• Aluminium is a good conductor of heat, but it
can leave silver-coloured stains on the hob. You
can remove these stains with the hob cleaner
supplied with the cooker.
• Glass vessels and enamelled bases with a rough
pattern will – if pulled back and forth across the
surface – cause greater wear on the hob than
other materials.
aluminium
To save you time and therefore energy, the contact
surface of the pan base should:
• be at least as large as the hotplate. If the base is
smaller than the hotplate, any spillages are quite
likely to burn onto the hob.
• be smooth or have a fine pattern
• be flat. It takes longer to heat a pan with a base
which curves in or outwards too much.
When you are buying new pans, it is advisable to
choose stainless steel ones with sandwich-type bases
(i.e. layers of different metals).
12
Save energy!
• Putting a lid on pans cuts the amount of energy
used by half (compared to cooking without lids).
• Using pans with flat bases saves 25% energy
(compared to uneven based pans).
• Make sure the hob is clean and dry. Dirt and
moisture reduce heat transfer between pans and
hotplates.
• Turn the hotplates off and finish cooking using
the remaining heat.
• Save energy by steaming and pressure-cooking.
Cleaning the ceramic hob
Use the scraper supplied to remove spillages
immediately, while the hob is still hot, especially
sugar and foods with a high sugar content (e.g.
jam), melted plastics and foil, all of which can
damage the hob if left.
The ceramic hob
IF THE HOB IS VERY SOILED:
1 Remove soilage using the razor blade scraper (see
below).
2 Use the hob cleaner supplied when the hot-hob warning
lights have all gone out. Shake the bottle and apply a
small quantity of cleaner directly onto the hob. Rub
clean using a damp cloth or paper towels.
3 Use a damp cloth to remove all remaining traces of the
cleaner, which could otherwise burn on when the hob is
next used. Wipe the hob dry.
The razor blade scraper:
KEEP THE SCRAPER AWAY FROM CHILDREN. Use the
razor blade scraper carefully. The razor blade is
extremely sharp.
Use the scraper to remove spillages from the ceramic hob.
You will have to turn the razor blade round before using it for
the first time since it has been reversed for transport safety
reasons. There is a protective cover for the sharp razor blade
when the scraper is not being used.
1 Press down the button on the top of the scraper and
push it forwards as far as it will go (see illustration).
2 Remove the razor blade. Replace the blade with the
sharp edge outwards.
3 “Lock” the blade with the tabs on the scraper
(see illustration).
4 Press the button down hard and push it backwards as
far as it will go.
13
The ceramic hob
TO USE THE SCRAPER, FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
1 Expose the razor blade by pushing the button (on the
top of the scraper) forwards to “stop” (see illustration).
You can check the razor blade is locked into position by
pushing the blade down onto a hard surface.
2 Make sure the razor blade is clean and not worn other-
wise it might damage the hob. New razor blades can be
bought from drugstores.
3 Angle the scraper at approx. 45° and scrap away the
spillage. The razor blade can be pressed down hard
onto the hob without causing any damage.
4 Use kitchen roll paper to wipe clean the blade carefully.
5 When you have finished, press down the button and
push it backwards as far as it will go. Keep the scraper
out of the reach of children.
Functions for safety
The hob safety lock
When THE HOB SAFETY LOCK is activated it is harder for
children to play with the heating zones. If someone turns
on a control the heating zone does not come on, but
appears in the hob control window until the control is
switched off again.
The red light above the lock symbol comes on
when the hob safety lock is activated.
TO ACTIVATE THE HOB SAFETY LOCK:
Turn the two controls for the front heating zones anticlockwise at the same time.
If someone now turns on a heating zone control, the
heating zone does not come on, but
SAFE appears in the
control window until the control is switched off again.
USING THE LOCKED HOB:
Turn the two controls anticlockwise. Then turn on any
heating zone.
The hob is now unlocked and you can use it as
normal. 10 seconds after turning off all heating zones,
the hob is locked again.
SAFE
WHEN YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE
THE HOB SAFETY LOCK, DEACTIVATE IT:
Turn the two controls for the front heating zones
anticlockwise at the same time. Then turn one of the
controls anticlockwise. The hob can now be used as
normal.

The inner top element browns the food, while the fan
circulates hot air throughout the oven.
Grilling
Using the inner top element.
Browning (swift start)
Using inner top and bottom element. You can use this
function to heat the oven quickly to the set temperature. When the oven has reached that temperature, you
can then select whichever function is required. It takes
about 8 minutes to reach 200ºC.
Oven light
The oven light comes on automatically for all settings.
If you only want to use the light, e.g. when cleaning
one of the ovens, this is last on the
F button.
THE PRINCIPLE FOR FAN-ASSISTED OVEN
Top and bottom elements and a ring element around
the fan heat the air which then spreads through the air
ducts in the back wall of the oven. The hot air circulates in the oven before being drawn back in through
the fan grill.
The heat is transferred quickly and effectively, and
often means you can use a lower temperature than with
top/bottom heat. The temperature can be lowered by
15-20% if the recipe specifies a temperature between
160ºC and 225ºC. The higher the temperature, the
more it can be lowered. It is better to use top/bottom
heat for temperatures over 225ºC.

SETTING THE END-TIME:
1 Press . The symbol starts flashing in the
information window. The clock shows the time
as well as any oven time that has been set.
2 Press until the time you want the oven to turn
off at appears in the window. A constant
appears in the window and the white rectangular
frame round the function symbol goes out.
3 The oven starts automatically when the time for
end-time minus oven time is reached, e.g. 17.10.
18.00 (set end-time) minus 50 minutes (set oven
time) = 17.10 when the oven starts.
The settings you have made now appear in the
window together with how much time is left
until the oven turns off.
4 When the end-time is out, the oven automati-
cally turns off. The symbol for the chosen oven
function starts flashing and a repeated signal is
emitted for about 2 minutes.
Press , to check which time you set. Reset by pressing twice.

Practical use
Never place aluminium foil, baking trays or oven
dishes directly on the bottom of the oven. Blocking heat from the bottom of the oven can damage
the enamel through overheating. The oven gets
hot when in use:
SUPERVISED.
The baking tray may warp temporarily due to temperature fluctuations, or if the food, (pizza, etc.) is
unevenly distributed on its surface. The tray resumes
its shape when cool.
How does one know which oven functions to use in
different situations? See below for practical advice on
how to efficiently use the oven functions for various
ways of cooking:
Baking & Cooking with the fan-assisted oven
CHILDREN NEARBY MUST BE
The ovens
The fan-assisted oven allows you to bake, cook, defrost
or heat food on several shelves at the same time and usually at a lower temperature than with top/bottom heat.
Lower the temperature by 15-20% if the recipe specifies
a temperature between 160°C and 225°C. The higher the
temperature, the more it can be lowered. It is better to
use top/bottom heat for temperatures over 225°C.
Use the fan-assisted oven for baking or cooking
large amounts of food on several trays/shelves at the
same time. The fan-assisted oven reduces the total
baking time as two trays can be in the oven at the same
time. However, although you save time, the bread or
buns may not brown as evenly as they do with top/bottom heat particularly if the dough had not risen well.
You can also cook different dishes, e.g. starter,
main dish, dessert, as long as they need the same oven
temperature. Remember the different dishes may need
to be in the oven for different amounts of time.
Thaw frozen food at the lowest oven temperature
40°C. Then 200°C is a suitable temperature at which to
heat the food. When the food has thawed, use the
roasting sensor to make sure the food is heated to
about 70°C which makes a meal hot enough to be
eaten.
Using the roasting sensor
Be careful that you do not burn yourself on the
heating element in the top of the oven or on the
oven rungs when inserting or removing the
roasting sensor plug. Use an oven glove.
The sensor works within the temperature range of 30
to 99°C. Before you switch on the oven, remove
21
The ovens
the cover which prevents the sensor socket from
becoming dirty.
• The symbol appears in the information window when the roasting sensor is connected.
• If the crossed-out symbol appears, then you
have selected a function which does not allow
the sensor to be used.
Only use the sensor supplied with your oven and make
sure that no part of the sensor comes into contact with
the inside top of the oven.
In order to achieve best results, the roasting sensor
should be inserted so that its tip comes to the thickest
part of the meat, where the heat takes longest to reach.
The entire sensor should preferably be inside the meat,
because hot air in the oven can affect its reading if the
shaft is exposed. If the sensor is inserted into fat or
touches bone, it can give an unreliable reading.
Preheat the oven first, then put the joint of meat in
the lower part of the oven. Remove the joint when the
sensor shows the required temperature. Cover the meat
with aluminium foil and let it stand for about 15
minutes. This will make it easier to carve and less meat
juices will be lost when carving.
SETTING/ALTERING
Once you have put the joint of meat in the preheated
oven and connected the sensor to the socket.
1 Press . The pre-programmed temperature
appears and °C starts flashing.
2 You can alter the temperature as long as °C is flash-
ing. Press or until the required tempera-
ture appears in the information window.
The temperature of the meat from 30°C upwards
appears in the information window. Press to check
which temperature you selected.
TURNING OFF
When the correct meat temperature has been reached,
a repeated signal is emitted and the symbol for the
chosen oven function starts flashing. The oven and
oven light turn off automatically.
1 Press to turn off the signal. It turns itself off
otherwise after about 2 minutes.
2 Remove the sensor from the socket in the oven
and remove the meat. Note that both oven and
sensor are hot.
3 When the oven has cooled down, replace the
protective socket cover.
22
Grilling
Size, shape, quantity, the degree of fat marbling and even
the initial temperature of the meat all affect the outcome
and time of the grilling process. Fish, poultry, veal and
pork will not brown as much as the darker meats such as
beef and game. Vegetable oil and/or seasoning will
improve the colour, but it also increases the risk of surface burning.
For best results, avoid grilling the food straight
from the refrigerator. Dry the surface of the meat, place
it on the oven shelf and season to taste. Place an oven
dish, ideally lined with foil, underneath the shelf to
catch the fat, etc. which runs off.
Pork chops, steaks and fish should be grilled high
up in the oven, while meats such as thick spare ribs are
better lower down.
Preheat the grill for 3–5 minutes. Keep an eye on
the food and turn it at least once. Grilling for too long
makes food dry, dull, and possibly burnt as well. The
oven door should be closed when grilling.
The ovens
Flans and quiches
This function gives an excellent result without prebaking the flan case. Heat the oven to 200°C, i.e. the
preset temperature or change to required temperature.
Place the flan in the lower part or in the middle of the
oven.
Browning (swift start)
Excellent for browning au gratin dishes, toasted sandwiches, etc. You can also use this function to heat the
oven quickly to the set temperature. When the oven has
reached that temperature, you can then select whichever function is required. It takes about 9-10 minutes to
reach 200ºC. However, do not use this method of rapid
heating when baking biscuits or meringues.
Fan-assisted grill
The grilling element browns the food, while the fan
circulates hot air throughout the oven. Ideal for “tall”
food items which need to be browned on the sides as
well as the top.
Browning
You find this function in the small oven. It is excellent
for browning shallow dishes, e.g. toasted sandwishes
and au gratin dishes. Heat the oven for 3 to 5 minutes
before putting the food in.

The ovens
Cleaning and maintenance
The ovens
The catalysing enamel used for the walls and inside
roof of the oven is porous, and is self-cleaning to a
certain extent. The bottom of the oven is made of
smooth and somewhat harder enamel, so that you can
scrape off spillages, e.g. using a spatula.
THE SELF-CLEANING ENAMEL
The oven gets hot when in use:
children nearby must be supervised.
Soilage on self-cleaning enamel is largely burnt off by
the action of heat. If the enamel becomes stained, you
can heat the oven empty at maximum temperature, top/
bottom heat for 30 to 60 minutes. Stubborn stains, for
example grease, can be removed as follows:
1 “Drench” the self-cleaning surfaces with soft
soap and hot water. Use a nylon brush on the
stains. Leave to stand for one hour.
2 Set the oven on (top/bottom heat) and maxi-
mum temperature.
3 Switch off the oven after three hours.
Never use oven cleaning products or sharp objects on
the self-cleaning enamel.
THE VITREOUS ENAMEL (BASE)
If the base is very soiled:
1 Use a spatula or similar implement to remove
spillages which have hardened.
2 Use a sponge to spread soft soap on the oven
base.
3 Close the door. Set the oven to (top/bottom
heat) and 100°C for about 10 minutes.
4 When the oven has cooled, wash the enamelled
surfaces with clean water. Rub gently with a
soapimpregnated steelwool pad on stubborn
patches. Wipe the surfaces dry.
The oven door
The oven door consists of two sections with heatreflecting glass for a lower surface temperature.
The outer section, the door front, can be removed
for cleaning.
24
Take care not to damage the panes of glass.
Small cracks at the edges can cause an entire
pane to crack after it has been heated a few
times.
The ovens
TO CLEAN BETWEEN THE TWO PANES:
1 Check that the oven is not hot and that the door
catch is activated before you remove the outer
section, the door front.
2 Open the door and insert rolled-up oven cloths
between the hinges
(SEE PICTURE). These to pre-
vent the door from closing. Raise the door up
again.
3 Grasp the door handle and press in the two
springs on the top edge of the door downwards,
then lift off the door front.
4 After cleaning (use a window-cleaning product),
slot the the door front back into the bracket
PICTURE). If the glass is very soiled, use the
scraper supplied with the cooker. Make sure the
door is properly secured on both sides.
5 Press the two springs on the top edge of the door
and press the door front into place.
6 Remove the oven cloths.

1 Make sure the oven is not hot and that both the
ovens are turned off.
2 Release and remove the removable side rack.
3 Release the glass cover, for example by insert-
ing a short, blunt knife between the glass cover
and the oven wall. Hold one hand under the
glass so that it does not fall and break.
4 Unscrew the bulb and fit a new one. It should
have an E14 screw fitting, marked 230–240 V,
25 W and 300°C.
5 Refit the glass cover and the removable side
rack.
The fan
You can remove the fan blades for cleaning, but DO SO
WITH CARE, as they have sharp edges.
1 Make sure the oven is turned off and is cold.
2 Unscrew the four screws (A) and remove the
back wall of the oven.
3 Take hold of the fan impeller carefully and undo
the nut (B), by turning it clockwise with a small
adjustable spanner.
4 Clean the fan blades in hot soapy water.
5 Refit all the parts. Make sure all the screws are
securely in place.

The ovens
The oven accessories
Release each side rack for the oven shelves at the bottom corners (1), lift it sideways and upwards and
remove from the oven (2). Wash the racks and shelves
by hand or in a dishwasher. If very soiled, soak them
first, before cleaning with a steelwool pad.
The baking trays and oven dish should be wiped
clean with paper towels, or washed by hand when
necessary. Any burnt-on food can be removed using a
suitable spatula.
Storage drawer
1 Empty the drawer and pull it out as far as possible.
2 Hold the handle and lift upwards gently. This
frees the drawer from the catch at the back.
3 Pull the drawer out completely and lift it out.
After cleaning, place the drawer wheels on the brackets
(SEE PICTURE). Lift the drawer slightly as you first
push it in so as to prevent the wheels from fastening in
the front catch.

Functions for safety
Safety lock
When the ovens’ SAFETY LOCK is activated, it is
harder for children to open the ovens. Even if someone
pushes an oven button by mistake, nothing will happen
since two buttons need to be pushed in at the same
time to turn on or change a function. This is very difficult for small children to do.
TO LOCK THE OVEN
1 Press and keep it pressed in,
2 then press and keep the buttons pressed in
(approx. 6 seconds) until appears in the
information window.
NOTE! When you then want to use the locked oven,
you have to keep pressed in all the time you are
adjusting, changing or checking something.

the cooker.
Before installing the cooker, you should check that its
dimensions correspond to the rest of your kitchen
units. Measure the height of the worktop from floor to
top surface of the worktop, and the plinth depth from
the wall to the front edge of the plinth (see illustration). The cooker may also be installed adjoining one
wall or one tall unit on one side, and a worktop on the
other side.
When delivered, the cooker plinth is adjusted to suit a
worktop height of 90 cm and a plinth depth of 53 cm.
You can alter the height and depth of the plinth to make
the cooker suitable for a worktop height of 85, 88 or 90
cm and a plinth depth of 55 cm (see below).
Check the cooker cable is not trapped when moving
the cooker.

To adjust plinth height and depth
53 cm is the minimum plinth depth for this
cooker. Setting a smaller plinth depth can cause
the cooker to tip if a heavy weight is placed on
the door.
If you wish to alter both dimensions, you should adjust
both at the same time. But make sure you read through
the full instructions before starting work.
1 Carefully lay the cooker on its back (SEE ILLU-
STRATION). Use some of the packaging material to
cushion the cooker on the floor surface.
2 Unscrew the four screws (A), see the illustration.
If you are altering the cooker height only, pull
the inner plinth out a certain distance. Grasp the
brackets which hold the wheels and feet.
NOTE! Be careful, there are sharp edges under the
cooker. Go to point 5 and continue from there. If
altering the plinth depth, you should pull the
plinth completely out.
3 Unscrew the four screws (B), see the illustration.
Then remove the outer plinth.
4 Position the outer plinth at the 55 cm setting
(SEE ILLUSTRATION B). Screw in the (B) screws
(don’t forget the washers) and push the inner
plinth inwards a little.

Levelling the cooker
The cooker must be level, for example to ensure that oil
in frying pans is of even depth. To check whether the
cooker is level, place a spirit level or a frying pan filled
with water on the hob.
You can lower (-6 mm) or raise (+12 mm) the
wheels and feet, working from the front of the cooker.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the rear wheels,
and adjustable pliers for the front feet (1). Once the
cooker is properly level, you need to lock these feet
with the nut. Turn it anticlockwise (2) using the

Problem Cause Action needed
Bread and cakes are not rising
properly.
Bread and cakes are too dry.
Baking/food is too dark (browned) or
unevenly cooked.
Too low an oven temperature means that
the baking is rising but then sinking flat
again.
Bread dough has not risen properly. Leaving the dough to prove too long can cause
the bread to turn out flat. Dough should
prove in a warm, draught-free place. The
dough should spring back when touched
with the fingertips.
Not enough yeast or baking powder. Check that you used the quantity stated
Yeast destroyed by hot fat or liquid. The correct temperature for the liquid is
Not enough liquid, too much flour, or the
wrong type of flour can cause bread to be
dry.
Too low an oven temperature means that
the baking has to remain too long in the
oven to cook, which leads to drying.
Too high an oven temperature makes baking/other foods too dark on the surface
before fully cooked.
Using too high a shelf position on “ top/
bottom heat” means the heat from above
is too strong. A shelf position which is
too low causes the opposite problem.
Putting the oven shelf in the wrong place
using “fan-assisted oven” prevents the air
circulating properly.
When using “ fan-assisted oven”, the temperature should generally be approx. 15–
20% lower than with “ top/bottom heat” .
