cookING GUIDE
• For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.
• Select the correct shelf location for food
being cooked .
• The grill tray can be used in the oven as a baking
dish, except in oven shelf location 1 .
• 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 6 positions for shelves or grill dish carrier .
these are numbered from 1 (the lowest shelf position)
to 6 (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 1 or 2.
• When cooking with 2 shelves, use position 1 and 3.
• When grilling use positions 4,5 and 6.
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.
