Baking accessories
Baking tins
Use dark metal baking tins. Tinplate and glass dishes increase
the baking time required and the cake will not brown evenly. If
you want to bake with tinplate baking tins, use shelf position 1.
Always place a loaf tin diagonally and a round baking tin in the
centre of the wire rack.
Baking trays
We recommend that you only use original baking trays, as
these have been optimally designed for the cooking
compartment and the operating modes.
Always carefully push the baking trays in as far as they will go.
Make sure that the sloping edge of the baking tray is facing the
appliance door.

Baking table for basic doughs/cake mixtures
The information in the table is a guideline and applies to both
aluminium baking trays and dark-coloured baking tins. The
values may vary depending on the type and amount of dough/
mixture and on the baking tin.
The values for bread dough apply to both dough placed on a
tray and dough placed in a loaf tin.
We recommend that you set the lower of the specified
temperatures the first time. This will generally allow more even
browning.
If you are baking with your own recipe, use similar recipes in
the table as a guide.
Observe the notes in the table about preheating.
