Preheating
When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for 10 minutes. For recipes needing high
temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soués etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated rst.
For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven rst, unless the
cooking instructions advise you otherwise.
Cooking
• Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf and that there is sucient room around the baking tray/dish
to allow for maximum heat circulation.
• 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 nish of the baking tray and dishes used aect browning of the bottom of the food. Enamel-
ware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase browning of the bottom of the food. Shiny aluminium or
polished steel trays reect the heat away and give less browning of the bottom of the food.
• Do not place baking trays or the supplied oven tray directly on the oven base as it interferes with the oven air
circulation and can lead to burning of the food. Use the lower shelf position.
The thermostat settings detailed below are a guide only and refer to the temperature in the centre of the oven.

• If accurate temperatures are required then this should be checked using an oven thermometer available at
most cookware shops.
• During cooking, do not open the door unnecessarily as you will lose heat and your cooking results may change.
• Using cake tins when cooking cakes will give better results.
• Never store oven/baking trays or grill pans in the bottom of the oven, this will prevent the burner
operating correctly if accidently left in place.
• Never cover the bottom of the oven with foil or other materials, this will prevent the burner
operating correctly.
