When two tier cooking leave at least one runner space between shelves. Position the baking tray with the front edge along the front of the oven shelf.

Rich fruit cakes made with self- raising fl our should be cooked on Mk.4 for the fi rst half hour at least and then fi nished at the setting shown.

If cooking more than one tart at the same time, swap them over at approx. 25 mins. For even browning the maximum size of baking tray recommended is 325mm x 305mm. This ensures free heat circulation.

If cooking a two tier load, when the top tray is removed, the tray in the lower position should be raised to the higher shelf, or the trays interchanged, for the remaining cooking time.
