GRILL
Uneven cooking front to back Ensure that the grill pan is positioned centrally below
the grill element.
Fat splattering Ensure that the grill pan is not lined with foil.
Ensure that the grill setting control (A) is not set too
high.
BAKING GENERAL
Uneven rising of cakes Ensure that the oven shelves are level.
Sinking of cakes The following may cause cakes to sink:
1. Pre-heating of fan ovens – not always necessary.
2. Cooking at too high a temperature – reduce
standard temperatures by 25˚C for fan ovens.
3. Using normal creaming method with a soft
margarine.
If using soft margarine, use an all in one method
instead of the traditional creaming of the margarine
and sugar. Remember when using a food mixer or
processor not to over-cream soft margarine.
Over/undercooking Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in
the Oven Temperature Charts provided, however, it may
be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by
10˚C to suit personal taste.
Do not use utensils greater than 56mm (2 l ⁄
4
") in height
for roasting.
TOP OVEN BAKING
Uneven cooking front to back Ensure that the cooking utensil is at least 100mm (4")
from the front of the shelf.
Uneven rising Ensure that the shelf is level (as above) and that the
food is positioned correctly in the oven.
Overcooking Remember to reduce cooking temperatures by 10˚C
from standard recipes when using the top oven.
Food is taking too long to cook Ensure that the cooking utensil used in the top oven is
not larger than 300mm x 225mm (12"x 9"), e.g. Do Not
use the main oven meat pan.
Only cook one item at a time to avoid overloading the
oven.
