baking tips and baking tables
BAKING
• Use the supplied baking tray or grid for preparing cakes and pastries.
• It is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought elsewhere which should be put on the grid; for baking it is better to
use black trays which conduct heat better and shorten the baking time;.
• Shapes and trays with bright or shiny surfaces are not recommended when using the conventional heating method (top
and bottom heaters), use of such tins can result in undercooking the base of cakes;
• Before the cake is taken out of the oven, check if it is ready using a wooden stick (if the cake is ready the stick should
come out dry and clean after being inserted into the cake).
• After switching off the oven it is advisable to leave the cake inside for about 5 minutes.
• The baking parameters given in the baking table are approximate and can be corrected based on your own experience
and cooking preferences.
• If information given in recipe books is significantly different from the values included in this instruction manual, please
apply the instructions from the manual.
ROASTING MEAT
• Cook meat weighing over 1 kg in the oven, but smaller pieces should be cooked on the gas burners.
• Use heatproof ovenware for roasting, with handles that are also resistant to high temperatures.
• When roasting on the drying rack or the grate we recommend that you place a baking tray with a small amount of water on
the lowest level of the oven.
• It is advisable to turn the meat over at least once during the roasting time and during roasting you should also baste the
meat with its juices or with hot salty water – do not pour cold water over the meat.
ECO FAN HEATER
• This is an optimised heating function designed to save energy when preparing food. The oven lighting is off during use of
this function.
• You cannot reduce the cooking time by setting a higher temperature; preheating the oven is not recommended.
• Do not change the temperature setting and do not open the oven door during cooking.
