OVEN OPERATION NOTES
The cooking information provided is intended purely as a guideline. Modify them to suit you experience, eating
habits and personal taste.
The times indicated in the table do not include preheating of the oven, which is always recommended. The times
and temperature indicated refer to average quantities of food - meats = 1/1.5kg; dough for confectionary, pizza,
bread = 0.5/0.8kg.
Information in brackets with regards to shelves indicates the shelf to use when cooking several dishes together. All
ovens are different and experimentation and use of the various cooking functions will determine the most effective
way to use the oven to suit your cooking style. When cooking on different shelves simultaneously put all containers
in the centre of the shelves.
