AEG B4101-5 User Manual

• If you cannot find the settings for a special recipe, look for the one that is almost the
same.
• Baking time can be extended by 10-15 minutes, if you bake cakes on more than one lev-
el.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights do not always brown equally at first. If this oc-
curs, do not change the temperature setting. The differences equalize during the baking
procedure.

Important! According to the newest scientific knowledge, if you brown food (specially the
one which contains starch), acrylamides can pose a health risk. Thus, we recommend that
you cook at the lowest temperatures and do not brown food too much.
