The middle shelf position allows for the best heat distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf position.
For faster preheating use the fan oven function to preheat the oven until the oven indicator neon goes out, then switch the selector to the conventional oven setting. Single level cooking gives best results. If you require more than one level cooking use the fan or zoned oven functions.

The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning. Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure even browning.

Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning easier. Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the conventional oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.
