COOKING RESULTS NOT SATISFACTORY

GRILL

Uneven cooking front to back	Ensure that the grill pan is positioned centrally below
	the grill element.
Fat splattering	Ensure that the grill pan is not lined with foil.
	Ensure that the grill setting control (A) is not set too high.
	If Solarplus grill – use anti-splash tray supplied under the
	food support.
BAKING GENERAL
Uneven rising of cakes	Ensure that the oven shelves are level.
Sinking of cakes	The following may cause cakes to sink:
	1. Pre-heating of fan ovens – not always necessary.
	2. Cooking at too high a temperature – reduce standard
	temperatures by 25oC for fan ovens.
	3. Using normal creaming method with a soft margarine.
	If using soft margarine, use an all in one method
	instead of the traditional creaming of the margarine
	and sugar. Remember when using a food mixer or
	processor not to over-cream soft margarine.
Over/undercooking	Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in the
	Oven Temperature Charts provided, however, it may be
	necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C
	to suit personal taste.
	Do not use utensils greater than 56mm (2l⁄4'') in height for
	roasting.
TOP OVEN BAKING
Uneven cooking front to back	Ensure that the cooking utensil is at least 100mm (4")
	from the front of the shelf.
Uneven rising	Ensure that the shelf is level (as above) and that the food
	is positioned correctly in the oven.
Overcooking	Remember to reduce cooking temperatures by 10°C
	from standard recipes when using the top oven.
Food is taking too long to cook	Ensure that the cooking utensil used in the top oven is
	not larger than 300mm x 225mm (12"x 9"), e.g. Do Not
	use the main oven meat pan.
	Only cook one item at a time to avoid overloading the
	oven.
