The ovens
Before you use the ovens you should wipe them out with a damp cloth to
remove any dust.
Heat zones
Main oven
- 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 that need
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 around 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.
Top oven -
You should turn food round during the cooking time.
Preheating
You do not need to preheat the main or top oven for casseroling and so
on.
Preheat the ovens for baking or when you are cooking sensitive food
such as Yorkshire puddings, soufflés and yeast mixtures.
When you are cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the
instructions on the packaging. When you are using the top oven to
reheat food you should preheat the oven to gas mark 8. When you need
to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for 20 minutes.
Oven shelves
You can slot the oven shelves into any of five
positions in the main oven and any of the two
positions in the top oven.
counted from the top downwards.
The shelf in the grill/top oven is different
from the shelves in the main oven. Only use
the shelf with the solid metal plate
underneath it in the grill/top oven. The plate
may glow red when you are using the oven.
This will not affect the cooking performance.
