The ovens

Before you use the ovens you should wipe them out with a damp cloth. This will remove any dust.

Heat zones

Main oven - There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is

the gas mark you have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can make use of these heat zones when you are cooking foods that need different temperatures all at the same time.

If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking. Or you can remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.

Second oven - You should turn food round during the cooking time.

Preheating

You do not need to preheat the main or second oven for casseroling and so on.

Preheat the ovens for baking or when you are cooking sensitive food such as Yorkshire puddings, soufflés and yeast mixtures.

When you are cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the instructions on the packaging. When you are using the second oven to reheat food you should preheat the oven to gas mark 8.

When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for

20 minutes.

Oven shelves

You can slot the oven shelves into any of five positions in the main oven. Positions are counted from the top downwards.

There is only one position in the second oven.

The shelf in the grill/second oven is different from the shelves in the main oven. Only use the shelf with the solid metal plate underneath it in the grill/second oven. The plate may glow red when you are using the oven. This will not affect the cooking performance.
