General hints
For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes�
The material and finish of baking trays and dishes used will
affect the way foods are baked, especially base browning�
• Enamelware, anodised aluminium, dark bakeware or
non-stick interiors and coloured exteriors will assist in
maintaining or reducing the baking time and increase base
browning�
• Ovenproof glassware or ceramics are poor conductors
of heat� The shiny surface of aluminium or polished steel
utensils and trays also reflects the heat rather then passing
it through to the food being baked�
• Always place dishes in the centre of the shelf to ensure
even browning�
• Stand casserole dishes on a baking tray to prevent food
from spilling onto the base of the oven�
• Use ovenproof cookware, which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C�
• Use shallow casserole dishes in preference to deeper
ones as this shortens cooking time in the oven�
WARNING
CAUTION
• DO NOT place dishes, trays or baking pans directly on
the oven base as they become very hot and will crack
and craze the oven liner�
• DO NOT use baking trays larger than 30 x 35cm
(12 x 14 inches) as they will restrict the circulation of the
heat and may affect cooking performance of the oven�
Conventional Oven
• The shelf position is critical� The temperature in centre
of the oven is the temperature shown on the oven control
knob� Single shelf baking gives optimal cooking results�
• DO NOT place baking trays, oven dishes or foil directly on
the base of oven, as trapped heat will crack and craze the
floor of the oven liner�

HINTS AND TIPS
Fan Forced
• Make sure shelves are evenly spaced�
• When baking more than one dish in fan forced oven, place
dishes centrally on shelves rather than several dishes on one
shelf�
• When the oven is full you may need to allow a slightly
longer baking time�
• When using different size trays or cooking different types
of food, cooking times may vary for each dish�
WARNING
CAUTION
• DO NOT place baking trays and oven dishes directly
against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven�
• DO NOT place oven dishes directly on the oven base�
TIPS AND INFORMATION TIPS & INFORMATION

it is recommended that it be carefully wiped away either
during or after cooking�
