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�
