Preheating
The oven must be preheated for 15 - 20
minutes when cooking frozen or chilled
foods, and we recommend preheating for
yeast mixtures, batters, soufflés, whisked
sponges and pastry.
If you are not preheating the oven, the
cooking times in the following guides may
need to be
extended
, as they are based
on a preheated oven.
Zones of heat
The temperature at the
centre
of the
oven corresponds with the selected gas
mark.
With time you will learn how to make best
use of your cooking appliance and the fol-
lowing directions are only intended as a
guide which can be varied according to
your own personal experience.
Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even brown-
ing, the maximum size baking trays and
roasting tins that should be used are as
follows;
Baking tray
330mm x 255mm
Roasting tin
390mm x 300mm
We recommend that you use good quality
cookware. Poor quality trays and tins
may warp when heated,
leading to
uneven baking results.
Shelf & shelf positions
The oven shelf must be positioned
towards the rear of the oven.
Position baking trays or roasting tins on
the middle of the shelf.
