• Ensure that food is placed centrally on the
shelf and there is sufficient room around the
baking tray/dish to allow for maximum circu-
lation.
• Do not push dishes too far back as food will
burn if it overhangs the burner flame.

The food needs to be cooked at Gas mark 6 for 30 minutes before the oven is turned
down to "Slow Cook". This ensures that the central temperature of the food gets
hot enough to start the food cooking.
• Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray
on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven
base and to help reduce cleaning.
• The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes used affect base browning. Enamel-
ware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils in-
crease base browning. Shiny aluminium or
polished steel trays reflect the heat away and
give less base browning.
• When cooking more than one dish in the
oven, place dishes centrally on different
shelves rather than cluster several dishes on
one shelf, this will allow the heat to circulate
freely for the best cooking results.
• If you are cooking more than one tray of
similar items, for example cakes or biscuits,
swap the trays 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.
• Do not place baking trays directly on the
oven base as it interferes with the oven air
circulation and can lead to base burning; use
the lower shelf position.
WARNING!
Do not place cookware and cooking pots with
rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven door as
damage to the glass may occur.
