Warning! Do not place dishes, tins and
trays directly on the oven base as it
becomes very hot and damage will
occur.
Warning! Do not place cookware and
cooking pots with rough bases e.g. cast
iron on the oven door as damage to the
glass may occur.
To fit the top oven shelf
The shelf should be fitted with the straight
rods uppermost on the frame and the forms
towards the back of the oven.
To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you
until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at
the front to that the stops clear the side sup-
ports. Lift shelf clear.
To install a shelf, reverse the above steps.
Each shelf position has an upper and lower
support wire, ensure the shelf is placed be-
tween these two support wires.

Heat zones
There are zones of heat within the oven.
The temperature in the middle is the gas
mark you have chosen.
The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the
lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the
oven is quite a lot cooler.
You can make use of these heat zones when
you are cooking foods requiring different
temperatures all at the same time. 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.
Preheating
When you need to preheat the oven, we rec-
ommend you do so for 20 minutes.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g.
bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best
results are achieved if the oven is preheated
first. For best results when cooking frozen or
cooked chilled ready meals always preheat
the oven first.
