Temperatures recommended in this chart refer to cakes made with block margarines or butter only. When using more than two shelves for baking in the fan oven, best results are achieved if - before placing the food in the oven, it is preheated to the required temperature.
Remember when using a food mixer or processor not to over-cream soft margarine. 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.
MAIN OVEN SIDE LINERS AND REAR PANEL (a) How "Stayclean" works. The surfaces of the "Stayclean" oven liners are treated with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220°C (425°F) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed.
BASE (a) Base of Main Oven. Wipe out the oven with a damp soapy cloth. For more stubborn stains on the base of the oven use a well soaped fine steel wool soap pad. (b) Grill/Meat Pan & Oven Shelves.
