Conditioning your oven
Ready, set, cook!
Pre-heat the oven for best results
Always pre-heat your oven to the desired temperature before cooking to maintain a consistent temperature for the entire cooking time. For best baking results, we recommend that you pre-heat your oven for approximately 30 minutes.
Oven shelf locations
The oven has five positions for shelves (as shown in the diagram). As a general guide we suggest giving maximum space above and below the shelves. Eg. When cooking with one shelf, position at 2 or 3. When cooking with two shelves, position them at 2 and 4.
This can vary depending on food being cooked and function used. We have offered a shelf position guide to use. However, to increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf position. See full user manual for additional tips.

If required, make a solution of water (85%), white vinegar (10%), and dishwashing detergent (5%), and spray liberally onto the door, side walls and back wall of the oven cavity.
