Important!
Settings given in the table are reference only and may be adapted based on your own expe-
rience and cooking preferences.
• Try to use the baking tray supplied along with your appliance.
• If you use your own trays and moulds, place them on the wire grid. We recommend you
use black trays, they conduct heat best and reduce the baking time.
• We do not recommend using trays with light coloured or glossy surfaces, as this could
result in the underside of cakes being undercooked when using the upper heater +
