HINTS AND TIPS
Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are numbered from the bottom upwards.
When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf, this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the best cooking results.
When batch baking one type of food e.g. Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be cooked in the same time.
It is recommended that when baking larger quantities, the shelf positions should be evenly spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight increase in cooking time may be necessary.
DO NOT place baking trays directly on the oven base as it interferes with the oven air circulation and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf position.
The use of excessively high temperatures can cause uneven browning. It may be necessary to reduce temperatures slightly. Refer to the recommendations given in the oven cooking chart on page 24.
AUTOMATIC COOKING
If you use the automatic timer to cook food in the main oven be guided by the recommendations below.
*It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible
*When cooking is complete do not leave food to stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly if the food is not to be consumed immediately.
*Always ensure food in the oven is covered if is not possible to remove food immediately after cooking.
