GRILL

Uneven cooking front to back	Ensure that the grill pan is positioned centrally below the grill
	element.
Fat splattering	Ensure that the grill pan is not lined with foil.
	Ensure that the grill setting control (A) is not set too high.

	food support.
BAKING GENERAL
Uneven rising of cakes	Ensure that the oven shelves are level.
Sinking of cakes	The following may cause cakes to sink:
	1. Pre-heating of fan ovens – not always necessary.
	2. Cooking at too high a temperature – reduce standard
	temperatures by 25˚C for fan ovens.
	3. Using normal creaming method with a soft margarine.
	If using soft margarine, use an all in one method instead of
	the traditional creaming of the margarine and sugar.
	Remember when using a food mixer or processor not to
	over-cream soft margarine.
Over/undercooking	Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in the
	Oven Temperature Charts provided, however, it may be
	necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C
	to suit personal taste.

	roasting.

	positioned correctly in the oven.
Overcooking	Remember to reduce cooking temperatures by 10˚C from
	standard recipes when using the top oven.

	larger than 300mm x 225mm (12"x 9"), e.g. Do Not use the
	main oven meat pan.
	Only cook one item at a time to avoid overloading the oven.
