lHINTS AND TIPS
There should always be at least 2.5cm (1") between the top of the food and the element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones bread etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally below the element.
Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf and there is sufficient room around the baking tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.
Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
land to help reduce cleaning.
The material and finish of the baking tray and dishes will affect the degree of base browning of the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or
DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.
DO NOT use the grill pan or meat tin as a baking tray as this will increase base browning of the
lfood.
Because of the smaller cooking space, lower temperatures and shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the recommendations below.
lFor economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a
