wHAT TO dO
Move shelf position up by one.
Raise the temperature.
Use dark, dull baking tins and pans:
they absorb heat more quickly and
speed up the cooking process.
Use the tin size stated in the recipe.
Try changing to a fan function.
Fan ovens speed up cooking and
distribute heat more evenly; they also
increase the rate of browning.
Raise the temperature.
Do not open the door until at least
3/4 of the cooking time has passed:
a sudden burst of cold air can make
cakes sink in the middle.
Increase cooking time.
Check recipe.
Set the clock. Refer to 'Oven controls
and setting the clock' for instructions.
See section 'Automatic cooking'.
