22 electrolux hints and tips
The material and finish of the baking
tray and dishes used affect base
browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy or
non-stick utensils increase base
browning. Shiny aluminium or polished
steel trays reflect the heat away and
give less base browning.
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.
For economy leave the door open for
the shortest possible time, particularly
when placing food into a pre-heated
oven.
Hints and tips when using the main
oven
Arrange the shelves in the required
positions before switching the oven on.
Shelf positions are numbered from the
top downwards.
Ensure that food is placed centrally
on the shelf and there is sufficient room
around the baking tray/dish to allow for
maximum circulation.
Do not push dishes too far back as
food will burn if it overhangs the burner
flame.
Stand dishes on a suitably sized
baking tray on the shelf to prevent
spillage onto the oven base and to help
reduce cleaning.

When cooking more than one dish in
the 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.
If you are cooking more than one tray
of similar items, for example cakes or
biscuits, swap the trays during cooking
or you can remove the top tray when
the food is cooked and move the lower
tray to the higher shelf to finish
cooking.
