Cooking guidelines

o Please refer to the information given on food packaging for guidance on cooking temperatures and times. Once familiar with the performance of your appliance, temperatures and times can be varied to suit personal preference.

oYou should pre-heat the oven and not place food inside of it until the oven operating light has gone off. You can choose not to pre- heat the oven however you should extend the cooking time given on the food packaging by at least ten minutes.

oIMPORTANT: You should ALWAYS pre-heat the oven if you are baking.

oMake sure that frozen foods are thoroughly thawed before cooking, unless the instructions on the food packaging advise that you can “cook from frozen”.

oBefore cooking, check that any accessories that are not required are removed from the oven.

oPlace cooking trays in the centre of the oven and leave gaps between the trays to allow air to circulate.

oTry to open the door as little as possible to view the dishes.

oThe oven light will remain on during cooking.

Warnings

o Keep the oven door closed when using any of the cooking functions, including all grill functions.

oDo not use aluminium foil to cover the enamelled baking tray or heat items wrapped in aluminium foil under the grill. The high reflectivity of the foil could potentially damage the grill element.

oYou should also never line the base of your oven with aluminium foil.

oDuring cooking, never place pans or cookware directly onto the bottom of your oven. They should always be placed on the shelves provided.

oThe grill heating element and other internal components of the oven become extremely hot during operation, avoid touching them inadvertently when handling the food which you are grilling.
