HINTS AND TIPS
There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler.
The base of the oven can be used to warm plates.
You can only cook on one shelf when using the top oven.
There should always be at least 2.5cm (1") between the top of the food and the grill burner. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones bread etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf.
Leave a gap of 13mm (½") between all dishes and the oven sides so the heat can circulate properly.
Do not push dishes too far back as it will burn if it overhangs the burner flames.
If you use a baking tray larger than the recommended size of 12" x 9", (30cm x 25cm) you may need to turn it around during cooking.
Where a larger quantity of food is to be cooked we recommend you use the main oven.
The material and finish of the baking tray and dishes will affect the degree of base browning of the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or
