Baking
• With conventional oven models heat comes from the burner
below the food (see diagram opposite).
• The burner is controlled by the thermostat which sets the
oven temperature.
• There is a variation in temperature between the bottom and
the top of the oven. The bottom shelf is the coolest and the
top shelf is the hottest.
