Information that prevents damage to the appliance. [. . . ] Oven levels · Baking with Conventional Cooking is possible on one oven level. · Using Ventitherm ® Precision Fan Cooking you can bake on up to 3 baking trays at the same time: 1 baking tray: e. g. oven levels 1 and 3 3 baking trays: oven levels 1, 3 and 5 29 3 General Instructions · Insert the tray with the bevel at the front. · With Conventional Cooking or Ventitherm ® Precision Fan Cooking you can also bake with two tins next to one another on the oven shelf at the same time. This does not significantly increase baking time. When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking. This is due to the large difference in temperature between the freezing temperature and the temperature in the oven. Once the trays have cooled the distortion will disappear again. How to use the Baking Tables The tables give the required temperature settings, baking times and oven shelf levels for a selection of typical dishes. · Temperatures and baking times are for guidance only, as these will depend on the consistency of pastry or mixture, the number and the type of baking tin. · We recommend using the lower temperature the first time and then if necessary, for example, if a deeper browning is required, or baking time is too long, selecting a higher temperature. · If you cannot find the settings for a particular recipe, look for the one that is most similar. · If baking cakes on baking trays or tins on more than one level, baking time can be extended by 10-15 minutes. pizzas, fruit flans, etc. ) are baked on one level. · Cakes and pastries at different heights may brown at an uneven rate at first. If this occurs, please do not change the temperature setting. Different rates of browning even out as baking progresses. With longer baking times, you can switch the oven off about 10 minutes before the end of the baking time, in order to utilise the residual heat. Unless otherwise stated, the values given in the tables assume that cooking is started with the oven cold. 2 30 Baking Tables Cakes, Biscuits, Bread, Pies Using cake tins Cakes in Pound Cake tins Sandcakes/ Cakes in loaf tins Madeira cake Dundee cake Pizza Setting Pizza Setting Pizza Setting Pizza Setting Conventional Cooking Large Christmas cake (10") Pizza Setting Conventional Cooking Pizza Setting Conventional Cooking Pastry cases Bakewell tart Swiss roll Flans & quiches Pizza Setting Pizza Setting Conventional Cooking Pizza Setting Conventional Cooking Using baking sheets Short bread Pizza Setting Conventional Cooking Biscuits Pizza Setting Conventional Cooking Macaroons Pizza Setting Conventional Cooking 3 3 3 3 3 3 140-150 150-170 150-170 180-200 140-150 150-170 0:25-0:35 0:15-0:25 0:40-0:50 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 2 3 2 or 1 2 150-160 150-160 150-160 130-140 140-150 130 130-140 160 180-190 180-190 160-170 0:10-0:25 0:45-0:55 0:25-0:35 4:30-5:00 1:00-1:10 1:15-1:30 1:00-1:10 2:30-3:00 Shelfposition Time Temperature Hr. ºC Oven functions Victoria Sandwich 180-2001) 0:10-0:15 170-180 180-200 0:30-0:50 31 Cakes, Biscuits, Bread, Pies Apple strudel Choux pastry buns Buns / cup cakes Oven functions Shelfposition 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 Time Temperature Hr. ºC 170-1801) 0:30-0:50 200-2101) 0:20-0:35 150-1601) 0:25-0:35 190-210 200 220-240 100-120 3:30-4:30 0:10-0:15 Pizza Setting Conventional Cooking Pizza Setting Conventional Cooking Scones Pizza Setting Conventional Cooking Meringues Sausage rolls Conventional Cooking Pizza Setting Conventional Cooking 170-1801) 0:20-0:35 210-220 180-200 200-200 0:30-0:50 Pizza Pizza Setting Conventional Cooking Bread Wholemeal bread White bread 1) Pre-heat oven Conventional Cooking Conventional Cooking 1 1 220-240 210-230 0:40-0:45 0:40-0:45 32 Baking on more than one oven level Ventitherm ® Precision Fan Cooking Pizza Setting Type of baking Shelf positions from bottom 2 levels Cakes/pastries/biscuits on baking trays Cream puffs/Eclairs Dry streusel cake Biscuits Short pastry biscuits Viennese whirls Biscuits made with sponge mixture Pastries made with egg white, meringues Macaroons Biscuits made with yeast dough Puff pastries Rolls Small cakes (20per tray) 1) Pre-heat the oven!1/3 1/3 1/3 1/3 1/3 1/3 1/3 1/4 1/4 1/3/5 1/3/5 --------------1/4 1/3 ----3 levels Temperature in °C Time Hours: Mins. 160-1801) 140-160 0:35-0:60 0:30-0:60 150-160 140 160-170 80-100 100-120 160-170 170-1801) 160 140 1) 0:15-0:35 0:20-0:60 0:25-0:40 2:10-2:50 0:40-1:20 0:30-0:60 0:30-0:50 0:30-0:45 0:25-0:40 33 Tips on Baking Baking results The cake is not browned enough at the bottom The cake sinks (becomes soggy, lumpy, streaky) Possible cause Wrong shelf level Remedy Place cake on a lower shelf Oven temperature too high Baking time too short Use a slightly lower temperature setting Increase baking time Baking times cannot be reduced by setting higher temperatures Use less liquid Pay attention to mixing times, especially if using mixing machines Increase oven temperature Shorten baking time Set a lower temperature and increase baking time Too much liquid in the dough/ mixture Cake is too dry Oven temperature too low Baking time too long Cake browns unevenly Oven temperature too high and baking time too short Dough/mixture is unevenly dis- Spread the dough/mixture tributed evenly on the baking tray Cake is not cooked within the baking time set Temperature too low Use a slightly higher temperature setting 34 Table: Desserts Ventitherm ® Precision Fan Cooking Desserts Shelf position Apple pie Rice pudding Fruit crumble Pineapple upside down cake Pavlova Baked custard Baked apples Bread and butter pudding Apple charlotte Soufflé - sweet/savoury 1) Pre-heat oven Time Hr.
