Base burner appliances
IMPORTANT: Your appliance is a Continental style/base burner gas oven, please follow the guidance below, to achieve the best cooking results.
oThere are two different types of heating methods for gas ovens, traditional U.K. style and Continental style.
oIn U.K. style gas ovens, the hot air moves around the oven and the hottest part of the cavity is at the top.
oIn Continental style gas ovens, the heat source is underneath the base of the oven, which means that the hottest part of the cavity is at the bottom.
oYour oven is a Continental style gas oven, which may require some adjustment in your cooking method, if you are used to a U.K. style gas oven.
oWe would recommend that you place the enamelled baking tray into shelf position 5 (the lowest shelf position).
oThis will deflect some of the fierce heat generated by the base burner away from the food that you are cooking.
oThis will allow food to cook all of the way through, without getting burnt on the base.
oYou may also need to make small adjustments to the cooking temperature and cooking times that you normally used previously.
