The grill at the top of the oven comes on. Use with the oven door closed. If you set the temperature between 175°C and 225°C, lower it to 175°C or below after 15 minutes. For best results, use the topmost shelf position when you want quick browning (eg toast).

Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and after cooking or defrosting. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food poisoning. Take particular care during warmer weather.

Notes on baking:

  • Preheat the oven before baking.
  • Do not place anything, including water, ice or aluminium foil on the oven floor.
  • Remove the fat filter before baking (some models only).
