To fit the top oven shelf
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards
the back of the oven.
To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you
until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at
the front so that the stops clear the side
supports. Lift shelf clear.
To install a shelf, reverse the above steps.
Each shelf position has an upper and lower
support wire, ensure the shelf is placed between
these two support wires.
Hints and tips
•
Arrange the shelf in the required position
before switching the oven on. Shelf
positions are counted from the bottom
upwards.
•
There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”)
between the top of the food and the
element. This gives best cooking results
and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures,
Yorkshire puddings etc. When cooking
cakes, pastry, scones bread etc., place the
tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf.
•
Ensure that food is placed centrally on the
shelf and there is sufficient room around
the baking tray/dish to allow for maximum
circulation.
•
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 will affect the degree of
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.
•
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.
•
Because of the smaller cooking space and
lower temperatures, shorter cooking times
are sometimes required.
•
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when
placing food into a pre-heated oven.
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.
