Selecting the cooking duration
Unless otherwise stated, the cooking
durations given in the cooking charts
are for an oven compartment which has
not been pre-heated. With a pre-heated
oven compartment, shorten times by
around 10minutes.
 As a general rule, check the food
after the shortest duration. Stick a
wooden skewer into the food.
If it comes out clean without any batter/
dough on it, the food is done.
Notes on the functions
You can find an overview of all the
functions with their recommended
values in “Overview of functions”.
Using Automatic programmes
 Follow the instructions on the display.
UsingFan plus
Because the fan distributes the heat
around the oven compartment straight
away, it allows you to use a lower
temperature than you would with the
Conventional heatfunction.
Use this function if you are baking on
multiple shelves at the same time.
 1 shelf: place the food in shelf level2.
 2shelves: place the food on shelf
levels1+3 or 2+4.
 3shelves: place the food on shelf
levels1+3+5.
Tips
- If you are cooking on multiple shelves
at the same time, slide the universal
tray in on the lowest level.
- For moist biscuits and cakes, bake on
a maximum of 2shelf levels at once.
UsingIntensive bake
Use this function for baking cakes with
moist toppings.
Do not use this function for baking thin
biscuits.
 Place cakes on shelf level1 or 2.
UsingConventional heat
Dark metal, enamel, or aluminium
bakeware with a matt finish, as well as
heat-resistant glass, ceramic, and
coated bakeware can be used.
Use this function for baking traditional
recipes. If using an older recipe or
cookbook, set the oven temperature
10°C lower than the recommended
one. This will not change the cooking
duration.
