using the grill

WARNING
• separate grill: Grill with door open.
Grill dish must be fully inserted.
• grill in oven: Grill with door closed.
Hints general
• 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.
• E namelware, anodised aluminium, dark bakeware or non-
stick interiors and coloured exteriors will assist in maintaining
or reducing the baking time and increase base browning
• O venproof 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
• A lways place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure
even browning
• S tand casseroles dishes or similar-type dishes on suitably
sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the base of
oven to make cleaning of oven easier

will crack and craze the oven liner
• U se ovenproof cookware, which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C

(12 x 14 inches) as they will restrict the circulation of the
heat and may affect cooking performance of the oven

ones as this shortens cooking time in the oven
Conventional Oven

of the oven is the temperature shown on the oven control
knob. Single shelf baking gives optimal cooking results.

on the base of oven, as trapped heat will crack and
craze the floor of the oven liner
Fan Forced
• D O NOT place baking trays and oven dishes directly
against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven
• D O NOT Place oven dishes directly on the oven base
• M ake sure shelves are evenly spaced
• W hen baking more than one dish in fan forced oven,
place dishes centrally on shelves rather than several
dishes on one shelf
• W hen the oven is full you may need to allow a slightly
longer baking time
• W hen using different size trays or cooking different types
of food, cooking times may vary for each dish
