COOKING GUIDE
Oven cooking guidelines
IMPORTANT!
z
Use all the oven modes with the oven door closed.
z
Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven shelves or to line the floor of the oven. The
trapped heat can irreversibly damage the enamel and may even cause fire.
z
Do not place water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor, as this will
irreversibly damage the enamel.
z
Do not cover the grill pan with aluminum foil. This will catch the grease and
could cause fire.
z
Do not use plastic wrap or wax paper in the oven.
z
For food safety reasons, do not leave food in the oven for longer than two hours before
and after cooking or defrosting. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may
cause food poisoning. Take particular care during warmer weather.
Baking
z
For best results when baking, always preheat your oven. The temperature indicator will
go out when the set temperature is reached.
z
While the oven is heating the grill element may be on.
z
Do not open the door until at least ¾ of the way through cooking.
z
Make sure cake pans do not touch each other or the sides of the oven.
z
When baking double the recipe (especially cookies) cook time may need to increase.
z
Your cookware will influence baking times. Dark pans absorb the heat more quickly than
reflective pans; glass cookware may require a lower temperature
z
Multi-shelf baking may also require a slight increase in cooking time.
Shelf Position Guide
z
Single shelf: place your baking on a shelf that will have the top of your pan near the
center of the oven cavity.
z
Multi shelf: always leave a space between shelves to allow the air to circulate.
