Cooker · Using several cavities

Why should I check shelf numbering separately for each cooker cavity?

The numbering and recommended levels can differ between the main, top and tall ovens. 'Second shelf' is ambiguous without its direction and cavity.

What the observation means

A cooking table may count from the bottom and refer to rail positions rather than the number of shelves currently fitted. Copying a position from one cavity to another can change the result.

A useful next step

Use the diagram for the cavity concerned and record the exact level in an enquiry. Do not add an unsupported shelf where a gap merely appears large enough. Secure, approved support matters as much as the selected height.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
