Top oven baking guide
Cooking times
These times are based on cooking in a
preheated oven.
These cooking times are approximate,
because the size and type of cooking
dish will influence time as personal
preferences.
Shelf positions
As a general guide, when cooking
frozen or chilled food, use the highest
possible shelf position, while allowing
some clearance between the food and
the top element. Follow the instructions
given on packaging.

Cooking temperatures
The temperature settings and time
given in the Baking Guides are based
on dishes made with block margarine.
If soft tub margarine is used, it may be
necessary to reduce the temperature
setting. If a recipe gives a different
temperature setting to that shown in
the guide, the recipe instruction should
be followed.
Because the top oven is more
compact, it may be necessary to
reduce cooking temperatures specified
in recipes by up to 20˚C.
Use the baking guide as a reference
for determining which temperatures
to use.
