Hints and Tips
• The middle shelf position allows for the
best heat distribution. To increase base
browning simply lower the shelf position.
To increase top browning, raise the shelf
position.
• The material and finish of the baking trays
and dishes used will affect base browning.
Enamelware, dark, heavy or nonstick
utensils increase base browning, while oven
glassware, shiny aluminium or polished
steel trays reflect the heat away and give
less base browning.
• Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to
ensure even browning.
• Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays
to prevent spillage onto the base of the
oven and make cleaning easier.
• Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays
directly on the oven base as it becomes
very hot and damage will occur.
• For faster preheating use the Fast Heat-Up
Function.
• Single level cooking gives best results. If you
require more than one level cooking use
the fan oven function.
Bottom oven element only
This function is particularly useful when blind-
baking pastry. It may also be used to finish off
quiches or flans to ensure the base pastry is
cooked through.
Top oven element only
This function is particularly useful to finish off
quiches or flans to ensure the top pastry is
cooked through.
Pre-set temperature is 250°C.
Conventional Cooking
and Fan Cooking
Timings do not include pre-heating.
The empty oven should always be pre-
heated for 10 minutes.
