Using the oven
The shelf positions in the oven can be altered.
If you prefer darker cooked results, cook on a
higher shelf. For paler results use a lower shelf.
The cake tray and roasting tin that are
supplied with this appliance are the largest
which can be used for good results and even
baking. Extra shelves, tins or trays can be
ordered from your supplier.
Place food items on the tray and position the
tray on the centre of the shelf, leaving one clear
shelf position between shelves to allow for
circulation of air.
