10.4 Baking
For the first baking, use the lower
temperature.
You can extend the baking time 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 distort during
baking. When the trays are cold again,
the distortions disappear.
10.5 Tips on baking

10.9 Tips on Roasting
Use heat-resistant ovenware.
Roast lean meat covered (you can use
aluminium foil).
Roast large meat joints directly in the tray
or on the wire shelf placed above the
tray.
Put some water in the tray to prevent
dripping fat from burning.
Turn the roast after 1/2 - 2/3 of the
cooking time.
Roast meat and fish in large pieces (1 kg
or more).
Baste meat joints with their own juice
several times during roasting.

13.2 Energy saving
The oven has features which
help you save energy during
everyday cooking.
Make sure that the oven door is closed
when the oven operates. Do not open
the oven door too often during cooking.
Keep the door gasket clean and make
sure it is well fixed in its position.
Use metal cookware to improve energy
saving.
When possible, do not preheat the oven
before cooking.
Keep breaks between baking as short as
possible when you prepare a few dishes
at one time.
Cooking with fan
When possible, use the cooking
functions with fan to save energy.
Residual heat
If a programme with the Duration or End
Time selection is activated and the
cooking time is longer than 30 min, the
heating elements automatically turn off
earlier in some oven functions.
The fan and lamp continue to operate.
When you turn off the oven, the display
shows the residual heat. You can use
that heat to keep the food warm.
When the cooking duration is longer than
30 min, reduce the oven temperature to
minimum 3 - 10 min before the end of
cooking. The residual heat inside the
oven will continue to cook.
Use the residual heat to warm up other
dishes.
Keep food warm
Choose the lowest possible temperature
setting to use residual heat and keep a
meal warm. The residual heat indicator
