Where To Place Food In The Oven
Position food near the centre of the oven as much as possible.
When cooking several dishes at once, prevent dishes from touching each other or the
sides of the oven.
To allow heat to circulate, do not place dishes directly underneath each other - stagger
their positions if possible.

General Hints
Some foods require the oven to be preheated. You should consult your own recipe references
Always place food as close to the centre of the oven as possible.
When cooking on more than one level, stagger the positions of the trays to allow for as much
free circulation of heat as possible.
Once cooking is fi nished and the oven is turned off, a good amount of heat will be retained
for a period of time. This heat can be used to dry foods such as bread crumbs or herbs, or to
keep food warm prior to serving.
WARNING: USE OF ALUMINIUM FOIL IN OVEN:
Do NOT use aluminium foil on the floor or walls of
oven and do NOT place cookware on oven floor. This WILL cause damage to the oven due to
heat concentration. Damage resulting from such use is not covered under your warranty.
