Cooking guidelines

oPlease 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.

oIf you are using the fan oven function, then you should follow the information given on the food packaging for this particular mode of cooking.

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 when using the fan oven mode; however you should extend the cooking time given on the food packaging by at least ten minutes.

oIMPORTANT: You should pre-heat the oven if you are baking no matter what oven function you are using.

oIf there is no guidance given on the food packaging specifically for cooking in fan oven mode, you can generally reduce the cooking time and temperature by 10% from the information given for conventional oven cooking.

o Make 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 the 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.
