10.3 Baking on one oven level
General instructions
• Your new oven may bake or roast dif-
ferently to the appliance you had be-
fore. Adapt your usual settings (temper-
ature, 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.
Possible cause
The shelf position is in-
correct.
The oven temperature is
too high.
The baking time is too
short.
There is too much liquid
in the mixture.
The oven temperature is
too low.
The baking time is too
long.
The oven temperature is
too high and the baking
time is too short.
The mixture is unevenly
distributed.
The oven temperature is
too low.
How to use the Baking Tables
• We recommend to use the lower tem-
perature the first time.
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.
Remedy
Put the cake on a lower
shelf.
The next time you bake,
set a slightly lower oven
temperature.
Set a longer baking time.
You cannot decrease
baking times by setting
higher temperatures.
Use less liquid. Be careful
with mixing times, espe-
cially if you use a mixing
machine.
The next time you bake,
set a higher oven temper-
ature.
The next time you bake,
set a shorter baking time.
Set a lower oven temper-
ature and a longer baking
time.
Spread the mixture evenly
on the baking tray.
The next time you bake,
set a slightly higher oven
temperature.
