Oven cooking
A cooling fan will start to run as soon as an oven
is turned on. The fan will continue to run while
the oven (or grill) is on and for about 10min after
it is turned off. At low oven settings the fan may
cycle on and off. Never turn off the power supply
to the cooker before the cooling fan stops
The wire shelves should always be pushed
fi rmly to the back of the oven.
Baking trays meat tins etcetera should be placed
level centrally on the oven’s wire shelves. Keep
all trays and containers away from the sides
of the oven, as overbrowning of the food may
occur.
For even browning, the maximum recommended
size for a baking tray is 325mm (12
3

”) by
305mm (12”) for the main oven and 230mm (9”)
by 320mm (12

”) for the Tall oven.
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 ‘fi ngers 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.
• Suffi cient heat rises out of the oven
while cooking to warm plates in the grill
compartment.
• 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.
Main Oven shelves
the shelf guard should be at the back pointing upwards
As well as the fl at 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
refi tted.
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 refi t 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.
