Zones of heat

The temperature at the centre of the oven corresponds with the selected Gas Mark and is slightly higher towards the top of the oven and slightly lower towards the oven base.

These zones of heat can be useful as different dishes requiring different temperatures may be cooked at the same time - eg; the temperature at the oven base is suitable for cooking baked vegetables, baked fruit, milk pudding, etc, and for warming bread rolls, soup, coffee, or ovenproof plates and dishes.

Using the Oven

Oven furniture

Oven shelves

The oven shelf must be positioned with the upstand facing upwards.

Position baking trays and roasting tins on the middle of the shelves, and leave one clear shelf position between shelves, to allow for circulation of heat.

Baking tray and roasting tins

For best cooked results and even browning, the maximum size baking trays and roasting tins that should be used are as follows;

Baking tray 350mm x 280mm This size of baking tray will hold up to

16 small cakes. Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm We recommend that you use good

quality cookware. Poor quality trays and tins may warp when heated, leading to uneven baking results.
