Uneven browning
8.3 Saving energy
The operating mode consumes less energy than the operating
mode.
➤ Avoid opening the appliance door frequently.
➤ Only switch the illumination on when needed.
➤ Use residual heat: for longer cooking times, i.e. over 30 minutes, switch the
appliance off 5–10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
Exceptions: soufflé, sponge, choux pastry and puff pastry.
➤ Minimise preheating.
➤ Only preheat the cooking space if the baking results depend on it.
Result Solution
• The baking has browned
unevenly.
➤ Next time, set a lower cooking space
temperature and adjust the operating time.
➤ If using or , check that the levels
selected are as recommended in the
separate Tips on settings.
➤ Do not push baking tins or large, bulky
foodstuff right to the back of the cooking
space.
•The baking has come out
lighter on one baking tray
than on the other.
➤ Check the settings with those given in the
separate Tips on settings.
Some uneven browning is normal. More even browning is generally
achieved at lower cooking space temperatures.
Power consumption can be reduced to a minimum by selecting
, «Time display invisible», in the user settings. Despite
automatic energy-saving stand-by, all safety functions are active.
