USING THE GRILL
GENERAL HINTS
For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.
The material and finish of baking trays and dishes used will
affect the way foods are baked, especially base browning.
• Enamelware, anodised aluminium, dark bakeware or non-
stick interiors and coloured exteriors will assist in maintaining
or reducing the baking time and increase base browning.
• Ovenproof glassware or ceramics are poor conductors
of heat. The shiny surface of aluminium or polished steel
utensils and trays also reflects the heat rather then passing it
through to the food being baked.
• Always place dishes in the centre of the shelf to ensure
even browning.
• Stand casserole dishes on a baking tray to prevent food
from spilling onto the base of the oven.
• Use ovenproof cookware, which will withstand temperatures
of 250°C.
• Use shallow casserole dishes in preference to deeper
ones as this shortens cooking time in the oven.
WARNING
CAUTION
• DO NOT place dishes, trays or baking pans directly on
the oven base as they become very hot and will crack
and craze the oven liner.
• DO NOT use baking trays larger than 30 x 35cm
(12 x 14 inches) as they will restrict the circulation of the
heat and may affect cooking performance of the oven.
CONVENTIONAL OVEN
• The shelf position is critical. The temperature in centre
of the oven is the temperature shown on the oven control
knob. Single shelf baking gives optimal cooking results.
• DO NOT place baking trays, oven dishes or foil directly on
the base of oven, as trapped heat will crack and craze the
floor of the oven liner.
FAN FORCED
• Make sure shelves are evenly spaced.
• When baking more than one dish in fan forced oven, place
dishes centrally on shelves rather than several dishes on one shelf.
• When the oven is full you may need to allow a slightly
longer baking time.
• When using different size trays or cooking different types
of food, cooking times may vary for each dish.
WARNING
CAUTION
• DO NOT place baking trays and oven dishes directly
against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven.
• DO NOT place oven dishes directly on the oven base.
TIPS & INFORMATION
TIPS AND INFORMATION
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
• During cooking steam may be produced which can be
released when opening the oven door. This is quite normal.
• If there is any build-up of condensation on the oven door it is
recommended that it be carefully wiped away either during
or after cooking.
WARNING
WARNING
Always stand back from heated oven when opening oven door
to allow any build-up of steam or heat to release.
