HINTS AND TIPS

·

 

Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven on.  Shelf positions are
numbered from the bottom upwards.

·

 

When cooking more than one dish in the fan
oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves
rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf,
this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the
best cooking results.

·

 

When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria
sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be
cooked in the same time.

·

 

It is recommended that when baking larger
quantities the shelf positions should be evenly
spaced to suit the load being cooked.  A slight
increase in cooking time may be necessary.

·

 

Do not

 place baking trays directly on the oven

base as it interferes with the oven air circulation
and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf
position.
