Universal tray
When baking cakes with
fresh fruit
toppings
and
tall sponge cakes
place
the tin in the universal tray to catch any
spillages and keep the oven cleaner.
Retangular tins
Place cakes in rectangular tins with the
longer side across the width of the oven
for optimum heat distribution and even
results.
Shelf levels
The shelf levels are counted from the
bottom of the oven upwards (1 =
lowest, 4 = highest).

* Always use the rack on shelf level 1
for cakes in tins.
** When baking moist cakes, bread etc
do use more than two trays at the
same time.
If you are using the universal tray and
baking trays for baking on more than
one shelf level at the same time, the
universal tray should be placed below
the baking trays.
Frozen food
When baking frozen products such as
cakes, pizza and baguettes
, use the
lowest temperature quoted on the
manufacturer's packaging.
Place them on baking paper on the
rack itself or in the pizza pan (see
"Extra accessories"). Placing them on
the universal tray can cause the metal
to distort. This distortion would increase
with subsequent use.
Small items of frozen food such as
oven chips or potato croquettes
can
be cooked on the universal tray. Place
them on baking parchment and select
the lowest temperature quoted on the
manufacturer's packaging. Turn several
times during cooking.
