The oven settings above are only approximate as different makes of cookers and individual cookers vary.
Study the chart supplied with your cooker - particularly as regards position in the oven for baking. Always open and close the oven door gently - slamming the door may make a cake fall in the centre. Remember to leave at least 2 cm (1 inch) space all around baking sheets and tins so that the heat can circulate freely.
