Notes on using the baking
charts
In the charts the data for the
recommended function is printed in
bold.
Unless otherwise stated, the durations
given are for an oven which has not
been preheated. With a preheated oven,
shorten times by around 10minutes.
Temperature
As a general rule, select the lower
temperature given in the chart.
Choosing a baking temperature higher
than those recommended may reduce
the cooking time, but will lead to
uneven browning, and unsatisfactory
cooking results.
Baking duration
As a general rule, check the food after
the shortest duration. Stick a skewer
into the food. If it comes out clean
without any batter/dough on it, the food
is done.
Shelf level
The shelf level on which you place your
food depends on the function selected
and the number of trays.
– Convection Bake
1tray: shelf level2
2trays: shelf levels1+3/2+4
3trays: shelf levels1+3+5
If you are using the universal tray and
baking trays on a number of levels at
the same time, place the universal
tray underneath the baking trays.
For moist biscuits and cakes, bake
on a maximum of two shelf levels at
once.
– Intensive
1tray: shelf level1 or 2
– Surround
1tray: shelf level1 or 2
