Hints and tips

Arrange the shelves in the required

positions before switching the oven on.

Shelf positions are numbered from the

top downwards.

Ensure that food is placed centrally on

the shelf and there is sufficient room

around the baking tray/dish to allow for

maximum circulation.

Do not push dishes too far back as food

will burn if it overhangs the burner flame.

Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking

tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto

the oven base and to help reduce

cleaning.

The material and finish of the baking tray

and dishes used affect base browning.

Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick

utensils increase base browning. Shiny

aluminium or polished steel trays reflect

the heat away and give less base

browning.

When cooking more than one dish in the

oven, place dishes centrally on different

shelves rather than cluster several

dishes on one shelf, this will allow the

heat to circulate freely for the best

cooking results.

If you are cooking more than one tray of

similar items, for example cakes or

biscuits, swap the trays during cooking

or you can remove the top tray when the

food is cooked and move the lower tray

to the higher shelf to finish cooking.

Do not place baking trays directly on the

oven base as it interferes with the oven

air circulation and can lead to base

burning; use the lower shelf position.

Do not place cookware and cooking

pots with rough bases e.g. cast iron

on the oven door as damage to the

glass may occur.
