Oven cooking
The wire shelves should always be pushed fi rmly to
the back of the oven.
Baking trays with food cooking on them should be
placed level with the front edge of the oven’s wire
shelves. Other containers should be placed centrally.
Keep all trays and containers away from the back of
the oven, as overbrowning of the food may occur.
For even browning, the maximum recommended
size for a baking tray is 340mm by 340mm.
Cooking high moisture content foods can
create a ‘steam burst’, when the oven door is
opened. When opening the oven stand well
back and allow any steam to disperse.
When the oven is on, don’t leave the door open for
longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs may
get very hot.
• Always leave a ‘fi ngers width’ between dishes on
the same shelf. This allows the heat to circulate
freely around them.
• The Cook & Clean oven liners (see Cleaning
your cooker) work better when fat splashes are
avoided. Cover meat when cooking.
• To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables
to hot fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or
brush lightly with cooking oil.
• Suffi
cient heat rises out of the oven while
cooking to warm plates in the grill compartment.
• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish,
preheat a baking tray for 15 minutes before
placing the dish in the centre of the tray.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during
cooking, place them on a baking tray.
Oven shelves
the shelf guard should be at the back pointing upwards
As well as the fl at shelves some models are supplied
with a drop shelf. The drop shelf increases the
possibilities for oven shelf spacing.
The oven shelves can be easily removed and
refi tted.
Pull the shelf forward until
the back of the shelf is
stopped by the shelf stop
bumps in the oven sides.
Lift up the front of the
shelf so the back of the
shelf will pass under the
shelf stop and then pull
the shelf forward.
To refi t the shelf, line up the shelf with a groove
in the oven side and push the shelf back until the
ends hit the shelf stop. Lift up the front so the shelf
ends clear the shelf stops, and then lower the front
so that the shelf is level and push it fully back.
