cooking hints

•   Select the correct shelf location for food being cooked.

•   Make sure dishes will fit into the oven before you switch it on.

•   Keep edges of baking dishes at least 40mm from the 

side of the oven� This allows free circulation of heat and 

ensures even cooking�

•   Do not open the oven door more than necessary.

•   Do not place foods with a lot of liquid into the oven with 

other foods� This will cause food to steam and not brown�

•   After the oven is turned off it retains the heat for some 

time� Use this heat to finish custards or to dry bread�

•   Do not use a lot of cooking oil when roasting. This will 

prevent splattering oil on the sides of the oven and the 

oven door� Polyunsaturated fats can leave residue which is 

very difficult to remove�

•   When cooking things which require a high heat from 

below (e�g� tarts), place the cooking dish on a scone tray 

in the desired shelf position�

•   For sponges and cakes use aluminium, bright finished or 

non-stick utensils�

•   Remove unnecessary trays or dishes when roasting or 

baking�

oven shelf location

Your oven has seven for shelves� These are numbered from 1 

(the lowest shelf position) to 7 (the highest shelf position)� 

See diagram�

To give maximum space above and below the shelves, load 

them in this way:

•  When cooking with 1 shelf, use position 3 or 4.

•   When cooking with 2 shelves, use position 3 and 5. 

Refer to cooking guide�

Use the oven efficiently, by cooking many trays of food at the 

same time� For example:

•   Cook 2 trays of scones, small cakes or sausage rolls.

•   Cook a roast dinner at the same time as you cook chips 

or vegetables�
