You can extend baking times by 10 – 15
minutes if you bake cakes on more than
one shelf position.
Cakes and pastries at different heights
do not always brown equally. There is no
need to change the temperature setting
if an unequal browning occurs. The
differences equalize during baking.
Trays in the oven can twist during baking.
When the trays become cold again, the
distortions disappear.
