position the shelves evenly within the
oven and maintain a clearance from
the oven roof and base.
•
If more than one cooking dish or
baking tray is to be used on a shelf,
leave a gap of at least 25mm
between the items themselves and
the
oven interior.
•
Allow enough space between shelves
for food that will rise during cooking.
•
do not place items on the oven base
as this will prevent air from
circulating freely.
