Baking charts
The data for the recommended function
is print
ed in bold.
Unless otherwise stated, the durations
given
are for an oven which has not
been pre-heated. With a pre-heated
oven, shorten durations by up to
10 minutes.
Temperature
You are generally advised to select the
middle dur
ation.
Baking at temperatures higher than
those r
ecommended may reduce the
cooking time, but will lead to uneven
browning, and unsatisfactory cooking
results.
Duration
Check if the food is cooked at the end
of the shor
test time quoted. To check if
a cake is ready, insert a wooden
skewer into the centre. It is ready if the
skewer comes out clean, without dough
or crumbs sticking to it.
Shelf levels
– F
an plus
Cakes in baking tins: Shelf level 1
Flat items (e.g. biscuits, tray bakes):
Shelf level 2
Baking on two levels at once
(depending on the height of the items
to be baked):
Shelf levels 1+3 or Shelf levels 2+3
– MW + Fan plus
Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1
and place the baking container on it.
Tips
– Set the cooking duration. When
baking
, the oven should not be set to
start a long time off. Otherwise the
cake mixture or dough will dry out,
and the raising agents will lose their
effectiveness.
– Position rectangular tins with the
lo
nger side across the width of the
oven for optimum heat distribution
and even baking results.
