Baking on one level
When baking on one level, use the following shelf
positions:
■ Tall baked items: Level 2
■ Flat baked items: Level 3
If you are using CircoTherm Hot air as the type of
heating, you can choose between levels 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Baking on two levels
Use CircoTherm. Baked items that are placed into the
oven on trays or in baking tins/dishes at the same time
will not necessarily be ready at the same time.
■ Universal pan: Level 3
Baking tray: Level 1
■ Baking tins/dishes on the wire rack
First wire rack: Level 3
Second wire rack: Level 1
By preparing several dishes at the same time, you can
make energy savings of up to 45 per cent. Position
baking tins/dishes next to one another or offset and
vertically stacked in the cooking compartment.
Accessories
Ensure that you always use suitable accessories and
that they are placed in the oven the right way around.
Wire rack
Insert the wire rack with the open side facing the
appliance door and the outer rail pointing downwards .
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
Dark- coloured metal baking tins are most suitable.
Tinplate baking tins, ceramic dishes and glass dishes
extend baking time and mean that the baked item will
not brown evenly. If you wish to bake using these
baking tins/dishes and using top/bottom heating, slide
in the tin/dish at level 1.
The baking tins must be resistant to heat and steam for
use in steam-assisted baking.
Greaseproof paper
Only use greaseproof paper that is suitable for the
selected temperature. Always cut greaseproof paper to
size.
Frozen products
Do not use frozen products that are heavily frosted.
Remove any ice on the food.
Some frozen products may be unevenly pre-baked.
Uneven browning may remain even after baking.
Recommended setting values
In the table, you can find the ideal heating type for
various kinds of bread and bread roll. The temperature
and baking time are dependent on the quantity and
composition of the dough. Different settings ranges are
indicated for this reason. Try using the lower values at
first. A lower temperature results in more even
browning. If necessary, use a higher setting the next
time.
Note: Baking times can not be reduced by using higher
temperatures. The bread or bread rolls would only be
cooked on the outside, but would not be fully baked in
the middle.
The setting values apply to dishes placed into a cold
cooking compartment. By doing so, you can make
energy savings of up to 20 per cent. If you preheat the
oven, you can reduce the indicated baking times by
several minutes.
Preheating is necessary for selected dishes, and this is
indicated in the table. Some food turns out better if it is
baked in several stages. These dishes are indicated in
the table.
The setting values for bread dough apply to both dough
placed on a baking tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.
If you wish to follow one of your own recipes when
baking, you should use a similar baked item in the table
as a reference.
Remove unused accessories from the cooking
compartment. This will achieve the best possible
cooking results and energy savings of up to 20 per
cent.
Caution!
Never pour water into the hot cooking compartment or
place cookware containing water onto the cooking
compartment floor. The temperature change can cause
damage to the enamel.
