6.1.1 Pastries and oven food
General Information
• We recommend using the accessories of
the product for a good cooking perform-
ance. If you will use an external cook-
ware, prefer dark, non-sticking and heat
resistant ware.
• If preheating is recommended in the
cooking table, be sure to put your food in
the oven after preheating.
• If you will cook by using cookware on the
wire grill, place it in the middle of the
wire grill, not near the back wall.
• All materials used in making pastry
should be fresh and at room temperat-
ure.
• The cooking status of the foods may
vary depending on the amount of food
and the size of the cookware.
• Metal, ceramic and glass moulds extend
the cooking time and the bottom sur-
faces of pastry foods do not brown
evenly.
• If you are using baking paper, a small
browning can be observed on the bottom
surface of the food. In this situation, you
may have to extend your cooking period
by approximately 10 minutes.
• The values specified in the cooking
tables are determined as a result of the
tests carried out in our laboratories. Val-
ues suitable for you may differ from
these values.
• Place your food on the appropriate shelf
recommended in the cooking table. Refer
to the bottom shelf of the oven as shelf
1.

Tips for baking cakes
• If the cake is too dry, increase the tem-
perature by 10°C and shorten the baking
time.
• If the cake is moist, use a small amount
of liquid or reduce the temperature by
10°C.
• If the top of the cake is burnt, put it on
the lower shelf, lower the temperature
and increase the baking time.
• If the inside of the cake is cooked well,
but outside is sticky, use less liquid, de-
crease the temperature and increase the
cooking time.
Hints for pastry
• If the pastry is too dry, increase the tem-
perature by 10 °C and shorten the cook-
ing time. Wet the dough sheets with a
sauce consisting of milk, oil, egg and
yoghurt mixture.
• If the pastry is getting cooked slowly,
make sure that the thickness of the
pastry you have prepared does not over-
flow the tray.
• If the pastry is browned on the surface
but the bottom is not cooked, make sure
that the amount of sauce you will use for
the pastry is not too much at the bottom
of the pastry. For an even browning, try
to spread the sauce evenly between the
dough sheets and the pastry.
• Bake your pastry in the position and
temperature appropriate to the cooking
table. If the bottom is still not browned
enough, place it on a bottom shelf for the
next cooking.
