Baking tips
You want to find out whether the cake
is completely cooked in the middle.
The cake collapses.
The cake has risen in the middle but
is lower around the edge.
The fruit juice overflows.
Small baked items stick to one
another during baking.
The cake is too dry.
The cake is generally too light in col-
our.
The cake is too light on top, and too
dark underneath.
The cake is too dark on top, and too
light underneath.
Cakes baked in a tray or tin are too
brown at the back.
The whole cake is too dark.
The cake is unevenly browned.
You were baking on several levels.
The items on the top baking tray are
darker than those on the lower baking
tray.
The cake looks good, but is not
cooked properly in the middle.
The cake cannot be turned out of the
dish when it is turned upside down.
Tips for Roasting and Braising
The roast is too dark and the crack-
ling is burned in places, and/or the
roast is too dry.
The crackling is too thin.
The roast looks good but the juices
are burnt.
Push a cocktail stick into the highest point on the cake. If the cocktail stick comes out clean with no dough res-
idue, the cake is ready.
Next time, use less liquid. Alternatively, set the temperature to be 10 °C lower and extend the baking time.
Adhere to the specified ingredients and preparation instructions in the recipe.
Only grease the base of the springform cake tin. After baking, loosen the cake carefully with a knife.
Next time, use the universal pan.
There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space for the baked items to
expand well and brown on all sides.
Set the temperature 10 °C higher and shorten the baking time.
If the shelf position and the cookware are correct, then you should increase the temperature if necessary or
extend the baking time.
Bake the cake one level higher in the oven the next time.
Bake the cake one level lower in the oven the next time. Select a lower temperature and extend the baking
time.
Place the baking tray in the middle of the accessories, not directly against the back wall.
Select a lower temperature next time and extend the baking time if necessary.
Select a slightly lower temperature.
Protruding greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. Always cut greaseproof paper to size.
Ensure that the baking tin does not stand directly in front of the openings in the cooking compartment back
wall.
When baking small items, you should use similar sizes and thicknesses wherever possible.
Always select hot air when baking on several levels. 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.
Use a lower temperature and bake slightly longer; if necessary, add slightly less liquid. For cakes with a moist
topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it with almonds or breadcrumbs and then place the topping on top.
Allow the cake to cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. If it still sticks, carefully loosen the cake around
the edges again using a knife. Turn the cake tin upside down again and cover it several times with a cold, wet
cloth. Next time, grease the baking tin/dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
Check the shelf position and temperature. Select a lower temperature the next time and reduce the roasting
time if necessary.
Increase the temperature or switch on the grill briefly at the end of the roasting time.
Next time, use a smaller roasting dish and add more liquid if necessary.

function that allows you to gently cook meat, fish and
baked items that do not need to rise. The appliance
optimally controls the supply of energy to the
cooking compartment. The food is cooked in phases
using residual heat. This means that it remains more
succulent and browns less. If you open the door
before the food has finished cooking or if you
preheat the oven, you will not be able to achieve this
result. Place the food into the empty cooking
compartment before the oven has heated up. Always
keep the appliance door closed when cooking.
