USING THE OVEN

Oven shelf location

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.

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.
