Oven shelf positions
The oven control settings and cooking times given in the table below are intended to be used as a
guide only. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered to provide a preferred result.
Food is cooked at lower temperature in a fan oven than in a conventional oven. When using recipes,
reduce the fan oven temperature by 10 °C and the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. The temperature in
the fan oven does not vary with height in the oven so you can use any shelf.
