The oven
Before you use the oven you should wipe it out with a damp cloth to remove any dust.

Heat zones
There are zones of heat within the oven. The temperature in the middle is the gas mark you have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler. The base of the oven is quite a lot cooler. You can make use of these heat zones when you are cooking foods that need different temperatures all at the same time. If you are cooking more than one tray of similar items, for example cakes or biscuits, swap the trays around during cooking. Or you can remove the top tray when the food is cooked and move the lower tray to the higher shelf to finish cooking.

Preheating
You do not need to preheat the oven for casseroling and so on. Preheat the oven for baking or when you are cooking sensitive food such as Yorkshire puddings, soufflés and yeast mixtures. When you are cooking or reheating frozen or chilled food read the instructions on the packaging. When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for 20 minutes.

Oven shelves
You can slot the oven shelves into any of five positions in the oven. Positions are counted from the top downwards. For safety the shelves will only pull out so far. If you want to remove a shelf completely, pull it forward as far as it will go, raise the front edge and lift it out. To put the shelf into a different position, keep the front edge raised, slot the shelf on to the runner, lower the front edge and slide the shelf in.
