• Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking
tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto
the oven base and to help reduce cleaning.
• The material and finish of the baking tray
and dishes used affect base browning. En-
amelware, dark, heavy or non- stick uten-
sils increase base browning. Shiny alumi-
num or polished steel trays reflect the heat
away and give less base browning.
• W hen cooking more than one dish in the
oven, place dishes centrally on different
shelves rather than cluster several dishes
on one shelf, this will allow the heat to cir-
culate freely for the best cooking results.
• If you are cooking more than one tray of
similar items, for example cakes or bis-
cuits, swap the trays 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.
• 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 temperature and baking times are for
guidance only, as these will depend on the
consistency of the various ingredients and
the number, type and size of baking tray or
tins used. It may be necessary to increase or
decrease the temperature to suit individual
preference and requirements.
For best results, moist recipes (for example
pizza, fruit flans etc) should be baked on one
level.
To ensure optimal performance when cook-
ing convenience foods, pizza or frozen and
chilled ready meal, always preheat the oven
first.
