General instructions
With Convection with ring heating element  you can also bake two cakes at 
the same time in tins placed next to each other on the shelf. This does not sig-
nificantly increase baking time.
3When frozen foods are used the trays inserted may distort during cooking. This 
is due to the large difference in temperature between the freezing temperature 
and the temperature in the oven. Once the trays have cooled the distortion will 
disappear again.
