4. The cake goes too dark on top: Place it lower in the oven, select a lower
temperature and bake the cake for a little longer.
5. The cake is too dry: When it is done, make small holes in the cake using a cocktail
stick. Then drizzle fruit juice or an alcoholic beverage over it. Next time, select a
temperature 10 degree higher and reduce the baking time.
6. The bread or cake (e.g. cheesecake) looks good, but is soggy on the inside (sticky,
streaked with water): Use slightly less fluid next time and bake for slightly longer at
a lower temperature. For cakes with a moist topping, bake the base first. Sprinkle it
with almonds or bread crumbs and then place the topping on top. Please follow the
recipe and baking times.
7.
The cake is unevenly browned: Select a slightly lower temperature to ensure that the
cake is baked more evenly. Bake delicate pastries on one level using Top/bottom
heating. Protruding greaseproof paper can affect the air circulation. For this reason,
always cut greaseproof paper to fit the baking tray.
8. The bottom of a fruit cake is too light: Place the cake one level lower the next time.
9. The fruit juice overflows: Next time, use the deeper universal pan, if you have one.
10. Small baked items made out of yeast dough stick to one another when baking:
There should be a gap of approx. 2 cm around each item. This gives enough space
for the baked items to expand well and turn brown on all sides.
1 1. You were baking on several levels: The items on the top baking tray are darker than
that on the bottom baking tray. Always use 3D hot air (circulating air) to bake on
more than one level. Baking trays that are placed in the oven at the same time will
not necessarily be ready at the same time.
12. Condensation forms when you bake moist cakes: Baking may result in the formation
of water vapour, which escapes above the door. The steam may settle and form
water droplets on the control panel or on the fronts of adjacent units. This is natural
process.
How to avoid problems with grilling:
1. When grilling, preheat the oven for approx. 4 minutes, before placing the food into
the cooking compartment. Always grill with the oven door closed.
2. As far as possible, the pieces of food you are grilling should be of equal thickness.
This will allow them to brown evenly and remain succulent and juicy.
3. Turn the food you are grilling after
4. Do not add salt to steaks until they have been grilled.
5. Add in a little liquid if the meat is lean. Cover the base of the ovenware with
approx. 0,5 cm of liquid.
6. Add liquid generously for pot roasts. Cover the base of the ovenware with
approx.1–2 cm of liquid.
7.
Place the food to be grilled directly on the wire rack. If you are grilling a single
piece, the best results are achieved by placing it in the centre of the wire rack. The
universal pan should also be inserted at level 1.The meat juices are collected in the
pan and the oven is kept cleaner.
8. When grilling, do not insert the baking tray or universal pan at level 4 or 5.The high
heat distorts it and the cooking compartment can be damaged when removing it.
9. The grill element switches on and off continually. This is normal. The grill setting
determines how frequently this will happen.
