USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC
Note: this is a high efficiency oven, there- fore some adjustment will have to be made to conventional cooking tempera- tures. The table below shows conven- tional cooking temperatures, ‘A’ efficiency temperatures and gas marks. For opti- mum results,
conventional temperatures need to be converted to ‘A’ efficiency temperatures.
For example, an item which would nor- mally cook at a conventional temperature of 180 °C, will now cook at the ‘A’ ef- ficiency temperature of 160°C.
