Tips for solving cooking problems

The browning / cooking is uneven.
• Select a lower temperature setting for slower and more
even cooking
(This may result in a longer cooking time).
• Use the middle slide-in level, especially for top/bottom
heat.
• Make sure you use suitable ovenware and accessories
(see general recommendations for cooking in the oven).
• For cooking delicate food , preheat the cooking chamber.
• When using baking paper, make sure to cut it to fit so that
it does not hinder heat distribution and contact with the
heating elements is prevented.
• If possible, do not use aluminium foil, e.g. to collect liquids,
so as not to obstruct the air flow and to avoid irritating the
temperature sensor by its heat reflection.
• Make sure that all parts of the appliance are clean, espe-
cially the door seal.
The top of the dish browns too quickly
compared to the underside.
• Use a lower slide-in level.
• Select a heating type with less heat from above
or more heat from below.
• Set a lower cooking temperature
(This may result in a longer cooking time).
• Use flat ovenware for casseroles and gratins, for example.
The underside of the dish cooks too quickly
compared to the top side.
• Use a higher slide-in level.
• Select a heating type with less heat from below
or more heat from above.
The back of the dish browns too quickly
compared to the front.
• Turn the food 180° halfway through the cooking time.
The dish looks done, but the humidity inside
is too high.
• Set a lower cooking temperature
(This may result in a longer cooking time).
The dish is too dry.
• Set a higher cooking temperature
(This may result in a shorter cooking time).
The baked good loses considerable volume.
• Preheat the oven, maintain a stable cooking temperature
during cooking and allow the baked dish
to cool slowly.
• Follow the recipe instructions, taking into account the
order and dough texture.
Make sure the ingredients are at room temperature and do
not knead or stir the dough too much.
The baked good is much higher in the middle
than on the outer edge.
• Do not grease the rim of the springform pan /baking tin
and spread the dough slightly up the rim
so that the dough can rise evenly.
• Insulate the edge of the baking tin from the outside,
e.g. with a baking belt or well-moistened kitchen paper
wrapped in aluminium foil.
When cooking on several levels, one tray is darker than
the other.
• For multi-level cooking, use a fan-assisted heating type
and remove trays one at a time when each is ready.
• Make sure there is sufficient space between the slide-in
levels for optimum air circulation.
