General Oven Tips
The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly to the back
of the oven.
Baking trays with food cooking on them should be placed level
with the front edge of the oven's wire shelves. Other containers
should be placed centrally. Keep all trays and containers away
from the back of the oven, as overbrowning of the food may
occur.
When the oven is on, do not leave the door open for
longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get very
hot.
•
Always leave a 'fingers width' between dishes on the
same shelf. This allows the heat to circulate freely
around them.
•
To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot
fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly
with cooking oil.
•
Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking,
place them on a baking tray.
•
The Cook & Clean oven liners (see 'Cleaning Your Cooker')
work better when fat splashes are avoided. Cover meat
when cooking.
•
Sufficient heat rises out of the oven while cooking to
warm plates in the grill compartment.
•
If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish, preheat
the baking tray for 15 minutes before placing the dish in
the centre of the tray.
