Cooking guidelines
• Please refer to the information given on food packaging for guidance
on cooking temperatures and times. Once you become familiar with
your oven’s performance, temperatures and times can be varied to
suit personal preference.
• If you are using the fan oven function, follow the information given
on the food packaging for this particular cooking mode.
• Make sure that frozen foods are thoroughly thawed before cooking,
unless the instructions on the food packaging advise that you can
“cook from frozen”.
• Pre-heat the oven and do not place food inside it until its operating
light has gone off. You can choose not to pre-heat the oven when
using the fan oven mode; however, you should extend the cooking
time given on the food packaging by approximately ten minutes.
• Before cooking, check that any unnecessary accessories are
removed from the oven.
• Place cooking trays in the centre of the oven and leave gaps
between the trays to allow air to circulate.
• Try to open the door as little as possible to view the dishes being
cooked.
• The oven light will remain on during cooking.
Warnings
• Keep the oven door closed when using any of the grill functions.
• Do not use aluminium foil to cover the grill pan or heat items
wrapped in aluminium foil under the grill. The high reflectivity of the
foil could potentially damage the grill element.
