The oven
For your safety
Never leave the appliance unattended when the oven door is
open.
Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth. This
will remove any dust.
We suggest that you run the oven without food for 10 - 15 minutes at
Gas mark 7 to burn off any residue from the surface. During this period
an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for
ventilation.
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 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.
Preheating
You do not need to preheat the oven for casseroling and so on. Preheat
the oven 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 need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for
20 minutes.
