Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf and there is sufficient room around the baking tray or dish to allow for maximum circulation.
�
Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning.
�
The material and finish of the baking tray and dishes used will affect the degree of base browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning.
�
Do not place baking trays directly on the oven base as it interferes with the oven air circulation and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf position.
�
For economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven.
Do not place cookware and cooking pots with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven door as damage to the glass may occur.
