Hints and tips
•
Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven on. Shelf positions
are numbered from the top downwards.
•
Ensure that food is placed centrally on the
shelf and there is sufficient room around the
baking tray/dish to allow for maximum
circulation.
•
Do not push dishes too far back as food will
burn if it overhangs the burner flame.
•
Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray
on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven
base and to help reduce cleaning.
•
The material and finish of the baking tray
and dishes used affect base browning.
Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick
utensils increase base browning. Shiny
aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the
heat away and give less base browning.
•
When cooking more than one dish in the
oven, place dishes centrally on different
shelves rather than cluster several dishes on
one shelf, this will allow the heat to circulate
freely for the best cooking results.
•
If you are cooking more than one tray of
similar items, for example cakes or biscuits,
swap the trays 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.
•
Do not place baking trays directly on the
oven base as it interferes with the oven air
circulation and can lead to base burning; use
the lower shelf position.
WARNING!
Do not place cookware and cooking pots
with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven
door as damage to the glass may occur.
