downwards. Always place ovenware, tins and dishes on
the wire rack.
Universal pan or baking tray
Slide the universal pan or the baking tray in carefully as
far as the limit stop with the bevelled edge facing the
appliance door.
Baking tins and cookware
Dark- coloured metal baking tins are most suitable.
These allow you to make energy savings of up to 35
per cent.
Cookware made from stainless steel or aluminium
reflects heat like a mirror. Non-reflective cookware
made from enamel, heat-resistant glass or coated, die-
cast aluminium is more suitable.
Tinplate baking tins, ceramic dishes or glass dishes
prolong baking time, and the cake will not brown so
evenly.
Greaseproof paper
Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the
selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to
size.
Recommended setting values
Here, you can find specifications for various dishes. The
temperature and baking time depend on the
consistency and amount of the dough. Settings ranges
are indicated for this reason. Try with the lower values
first. A lower temperature results in more even
browning. You can increase the temperature next time if
necessary.
Note: Baking times can not be reduced by using higher
temperatures. Cakes or baked items would only be
cooked on the outside, but would not be fully cooked in
the middle.
