how to improve pan spacing and shelf position in a NEFF oven
for uneven browning in a NEFF oven, set up a centred pan and a less crowded load while the oven is cold. use the shelf required by the recipe or cooking mode and compare the next bake before assuming an internal fault.

when to get help
- do not pull a connected oven out or alter its mounting. a fan fault, failure to heat or repeated circuit trips needs a technician.
steps
- set the shelf before heating
for an ordinary bake, start with the pan centred on the middle shelf unless the recipe or cooking mode calls for another position.
- separate the pans
remove unused trays and avoid filling every gap. keep the pan away from direct contact with the heat source.
- compare the next bake
use the same recipe and note whether the colour is more even. persistent uneven heating needs a service check.
