The oven
Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth. This
will remove any dust.
We suggest that you run the oven without food for 10 - 15 minutes at
Gas mark 7 to burn off any residue from the surface. During this period
an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for
ventilation.
Heat zones
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 requiring different
temperatures all at the same time. You can
use the base of the oven to warm plates.
If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example
cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking. Or you could
remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to
the higher shelf to finish cooking.
Preheating
You do not need to preheat the oven for casseroling and so on.
Preheat the oven 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 need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for
20 minutes.
