Notes on baking:
Preheat the oven before baking.
Do not place anything, including water or ice, on
the oven floor.
Remove the fat filter before baking.
Use the fat filter when roasting meat and poultry on
FAN BAKE, FAN GRILL or FAN FORCED. It helps to keep
your oven clean and reduces splatter and smoking.
Always clean the filter after every use. See ‘Care and cleaning’.
Remove the fat filter before baking.
Baking chart
The settings in the following chart are guidelines only. Follow the instructions in your recipe or
on 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 oven floor up (1 is the lowest, 4 or 6 the highest).
Arrange oven shelves before you turn the oven on, then preheat the oven to the required
temperature (until the temperature indicator light goes out).
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.
