Cooking high moisture content
foods can create a ‘steam burst’,
when the oven door is opened.
When opening the oven stand
well back and allow any steam
to disperse.
When the oven is on, don’t leave
the door open for longer than
necessary, otherwise the knobs
may get very hot.
• Always leave a ‘fingers width’ between dishes on the
same shelf. This allows the heat to circulate freely
around them.
• The Cook & Clean oven liners (see Cleaning your
cooker) work better when fat splashes are avoided.
Cover meat when cooking.
• To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to
hot fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush
lightly with cooking oil.
• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish,
preheat a baking tray for 15 minutes before placing
the dish in the centre of the tray.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking,
place them on a baking tray.
Ensure meat and poultry is fully cooked before serving
Oven shelves
the shelf guard should be at the back pointing upwards
As well as the flat shelves some models are supplied with a
drop shelf. The drop shelf increases the possibilities for oven
shelf spacing.
The oven shelves can be easily removed and refitted.
Pull the shelf forward
until the back of the shelf
is stopped by the shelf
stop bumps in the oven
sides.
Lift up the front of the
shelf so the back of the
shelf will pass under the
shelf stop and then pull
the shelf forward.
To refit the shelf, line up the shelf with a groove in the oven
side and push the shelf back until the ends hit the shelf stop.
Lift up the front so the shelf ends clear the shelf stops, and
then lower the front so that the shelf is level and push it fully
back.
The Handyrack
The maximum weight that can be held by the Handyrack is
5.5kg (12lb). It should only be used with the supplied meat
tin, which is designed to fit the Handyrack. Any other vessel
could be unstable.
The Handyrack fits to the left hand oven door only. Food
cooking on it is easy to attend to, because it’s accessible
when the door is open. It can be fitted at two different
heights. One of the oven shelves must be removed and the
other positioned to suit.
When the Handyrack is used in its highest position, other
dishes can be cooked on the bottom shelf position of the
oven or standing on the base of the oven
When the Handyrack is used in its lowest position, other
dishes can be cooked on the second shelf position of the
oven or standing on the base of the oven.
