10. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
The temperature and baking
times in the tables are
guidelines only. They
depend on the recipes and
the quality and quantity of
the ingredients used.
10.1 Double oven
Top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two
ovens. It has 4 shelf positions. Use it to
cook smaller quantities of food. It gives
especially good results when used to
cook fruitcakes, sweets and savoury flans
or quiche.
Main oven
The main oven is the bigger of the two
ovens. It is particularly suitable for
cooking larger quantities of food.
10.2 Baking
• Use the lower temperature the first
time.
• You can extend baking times by 10 –
15 minutes if you bake cakes on more
than one shelf position.
• Cakes and pastries at different
heights do not always brown equally.
There is no need to change the
temperature setting if an unequal
browning occurs. The differences
equalize during baking.
• Trays in the oven can twist during
baking. When the trays become cold
again, the distortions disappear.
10.3 Tips on baking
Baking results Possible cause Remedy
The bottom of the cake
is not browned suffi-
ciently.
The shelf position is incor-
rect.
Put the cake on a lower shelf.
The cake sinks and be-
comes soggy, lumpy or
streaky.
The oven temperature is
too high.
The next time you bake, set a
slightly lower oven temperature.
The baking time is too
short.
Set a longer baking time. You
cannot decrease baking times by
setting higher temperatures.
There is too much liquid in
the mixture.
Use less liquid. Be careful with
mixing times, especially if you use
a mixing machine.
ENGLISH 17
Baking results Possible cause Remedy
The cake is too dry. The oven temperature is
too low.
The next time you bake, set a

Use heat-resistant ovenware.
Roast large roasting joints directly in the
tray or on the wire shelf placed above
the tray.
Put some water in the tray to prevent the
meat juices or fat from burning.
Meat with crackling can be roasted in the
roasting tin without the lid.
Turn the roast after 1/2 - 2/3 of the
cooking time.
To keep meat more succulent:
• roast lean meat in the roasting tin with
the lid or use roasting bag.
• roast meat and fish in large pieces (1
kg or more).
• baste large roasts and poultry with
their juices several times during
roasting.

13.2 Energy saving
The oven contains features
which help you save energy
during everyday cooking.
General hints
Make sure that the oven door is closed
properly when the oven operates. Do not
open the door too often during cooking.
Keep the door gasket clean and make
sure it is well fixed in its position.
Use metal dishes to improve energy
saving.
When possible, do not preheat the oven
before you put the food inside.
When the cooking duration is longer
than 30 minutes, reduce the oven
temperature to minimum 3 - 10 minutes
before the end of the cooking time,
depending on the duration of the
cooking. The residual heat inside the
oven will continue to cook.
Use the residual heat to warm up other
dishes.
Keep breaks between baking as short as
possible when you prepare few dishes at
one time.
ENGLISH
29
Cooking with fan
When possible, use the cooking
functions with fan to save energy.
Residual heat

Time selection is activated and the
cooking time is longer than 30 minutes,
the heating elements automatically
deactivate earlier in some oven
functions.
The fan and lamp continue to operate.
Keep food warm
Choose the lowest possible temperature
setting to use residual heat and keep a
meal warm. The residual heat indicator
or temperature appears on the display.
