lHINTS AND TIPS
Most cooking should be carried out using a oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be cooked in the main oven. However, they may be cooked on a shelf placed on the base of the top oven provided there is sufficient room for air circulation around the food.
There should always be at least 2.5 cm (1") between the top of the food and the element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings,
letc.
DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.
