The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the
lHINTS AND TIPS
Most cooking should be carried out using an 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 flat shelf placed on the base of the top oven provided there is sufficient room for
lair circulation around the food.
Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
land to help reduce cleaning.
There should always be at least 2.5cm (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 etc.
lWhen cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf directly below the element.
DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and
ldamage may occur.
The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes will affect the degree of base browning of the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or
DO NOT use the grill pan as a baking tray as this will increase base browning of the food.
Because of the smaller cooking space, lower temperatures and shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the
lrecommendations on page 26.
For economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a
