Zones of heat
The temperature at the centre of the
oven corresponds with the selected gas
mark and is slightly higher towards the
top of the oven and slightly lower
towards the oven base.
These zones of heat can be useful as
different dishes requiring different
temperatures can be cooked at the
same time, when more than one shelf
is used.
The temperature at the oven base is
suitable for cooking baked vegetables,
baked fruit, milk pudding etc, and for
warming bread rolls, soup, coffee, or
ovenproof plates and dishes.
If you find that over a period of time,
the oven becomes hotter when used at
a particular gas mark, the thermostat
may need to be replaced.

Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even
browning, the maximum size baking
trays and roasting tins that should be
used are as follows;
Baking tray 350mm x 330mm
Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
Position baking trays and roasting tins
on the middle of the shelves, and leave
one clear shelf position between
shelves, to allow for circulation of heat.
Oven shelves
Extra shelves may be ordered from
your local supplier.
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing upwards.
You will see that there are differences
between the oven shelves for the top
oven and the main oven.
The top oven shelf
helps to ensure
even baking in the top oven. It has a
rear deflector fitted to it, and is not
intended for use in the main oven.
Slow cooking
Make sure that frozen foods are
thoroughly THAWED before cooking.
Do not slow cook joints of meat or
poultry weighing more than 2
1
⁄4kg /
4
1
⁄2lb.
Always use the top half of the oven for
slow cooking.
For roasting joints of meat or poultry,
and for pot roasts preheat the oven to
gas mark 6 and cook for 30 minutes,
then adjust the oven control to the “S”
slow setting for the remainder of the
cooking time.
Slow cooking times will be about three
times as long as conventional cooking
times.
