Baking chart
Please note:
The settings in the following chart are guidelines only. Follow the instructions in your recipe or
on food packaging and be prepared to adjust the oven settings and baking times to achieve the
best possible results for you.
Shelf positions are counted from the base up (1 is the lowest, 4 the highest).
Arrange oven shelves before you turn the oven on, then preheat the oven to the required
temperature. Place items in the oven only when the long tone has sounded and the temperature
dial halo has turned from red to white.*
Single shelf positions below use the flat oven shelf; where a multi shelf arrangement is
recommended, the higher position uses the step-down shelf.
Due to the width of the oven, a single shelf can usually accommodate double the standard
recipe.

* Note: the colour change and tone may occur some time after the set temperature has
been reached. This is because—when heating up from cold—your oven is designed to
initially heat to a temperature somewhat higher than what you have set. This is to
provide optimal baking conditions right from the start.
** This is a two-stage baking process: adjust the temperature after the first stage.
