• 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.
