24General instructionsWith Convection with ring heating element you can also bake two cakes atthe same time in tins placed next to each other on the shelf. This does not sig-nificantly increase baking time.3 When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking. Thisis due to the large difference in temperature between the freezing temperatureand the temperature in the oven. Once the trays have cooled the distortion willdisappear again.How to use the Baking TablesThe tables give the required temperature settings, baking times and oven shelflevels for a selection of typical dishes.• Temperatures and baking times are for guidance only, as these will depend onthe consistency of pastry, mixture or dough, the number and the type of bak-ing tin.• We recommend setting the lower temperature when baking for the first time,and if required, e.g. if a darker browning is desired or if the baking time is toolong, select a higher temperature.• If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe, look for the one that ismost similar.• If baking cakes on baking trays or tins on more than one level, baking time canbe extended by 10-15 minutes.• Moist recipes (for example, pizzas, fruit flans, etc.) are baked on one level.• Cakes and pastries at different heights may brown at an uneven rate at first. Ifthis occurs, please do not change the temperature setting. Different ratesof browning even out as baking progresses.• Your new oven may bake or roast differently to your previous appliance. Soadapt your normal settings (temperature, cooking times) and oven shelf levelsto the recommendations in the following tables.2 With longer baking times, you can switch the oven off about 10 minutes beforethe end of the baking time, in order to utilise the residual heat.Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that cooking isstarted with the oven cold.
