OPERATION
OPERATION
•  Select the correct shelf location for food being cooked.
•   make sure dishes will fit into the oven before you
switch it on.
•   Keep edges of baking dishes at least 40mm from the
side of the oven. This allows free circulation of heat 
and ensures even cooking.
•   Do not open the oven door more than necessary.
•   Do not place foods with a lot of liquid into the oven with  
other foods. This will cause food to steam and not brown.
•   After the oven is turned off it retains the heat for some
time. Use this heat to finish custards or to dry bread.
•   Do not use a lot of cooking oil when roasting. This will
prevent splattering oil on the sides of the oven and 
the oven door. Polyunsaturated fats can leave residue 
which is very difficult to remove.
•   When cooking things which require a high heat from
below (e.g. tarts), place the cooking dish on a scone 
tray in the desired shelf position.
•   for sponges and cakes use aluminium, bright finished
or non-stick utensils.
•   Remove unnecessary trays or dishes when roasting  
or baking.
Oven shelf location (exluding POR881)
Your oven has seven positions for shelves.  
These are numbered from 1 (the lowest shelf position)  
to 7 (the highest shelf position). See diagram.
To give maximum space above and below the shelves, 
load them in this way:
•   When cooking with 1 shelf, use position 3 or 4.
•   When cooking with 2 shelves, use position 3 and 5.
Refer to cooking guide.
Use the oven efficiently, by cooking many trays of food at
the same time. For example:
•   Cook 2 trays of scones, small cakes or sausage rolls.
•   Cook a roast dinner at the same time as you cook
chips or vegetables.
