Before you use the ovens you should wipe them out with a damp cloth to
remove any dust.
Heat zones
Main oven - There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature
in the middle is the gas mark you have
chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter
and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of
the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can make
use of these heat zones when you are
cooking foods that need different
temperatures all at the same time.
If you are cooking more than one tray of
similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around
during cooking. Or you can remove the top tray when the food is cooked
and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.
Second oven - You should turn food round during the cooking time.
Preheating
You do not need to preheat the main or second oven for casseroling
and so on.
Preheat the ovens for baking or when you are cooking sensitive food
such as Yorkshire puddings, soufflés and yeast mixtures.
When you are cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the
instructions on the packaging. When you are using the second oven to
reheat food you should preheat the oven to gas mark 8. When you need
to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for 20 minutes.
Oven shelves
You can slot the oven shelves into any of five
positions in the main oven and any of the two
positions in the second oven. Positions are
counted from the top downwards.
The shelf in the grill/second oven is
different from the shelves in the main oven.
Only use the shelf with the solid metal plate
underneath it in the grill/second oven. The
plate may glow red when you are using the
oven. This will not affect the cooking
performance.
