WARNING!
Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly on
the oven base as it becomes very hot and dam-
age will occur.
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 to that the
stops clear the side supports. Lift shelf clear.
To insert a shelf, reverse the above steps.
Hints and tips
• Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven on. Shelf positions
are counted from the bottom upwards.
• There should always be at least 2.5 cm (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 circu-
lation.
• 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. Enamel-
ware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils in-
crease base browning. Shiny aluminium or
polished steel trays reflect the heat away and
give less base browning.
• Because of the smaller cooking space and
lower temperatures, shorter cooking times
are sometimes required. Be guided by the
recommendations given in the cooking
chart.
• 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.
• 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.
The main oven
The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking
larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan
oven cooking are:
Preheating
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature,
so it is not usually necessary to preheat the
oven. Without preheating however, you may
need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the
recommended cooking times. For recipes
