THE TOP OVEN

USES OF THE TOP OVEN

The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet or savoury flans or quiche.

The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a temperature setting of 80°C - 100°C on the top oven control dial.

SELECTING THE TOP OVEN

￿To operate the top oven turn the temperature control to the required setting. Our diagram shows the oven set to 160°C. Close the oven door.

THINGS TO NOTE

1.The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is in use. Only the outer part of the top oven element in conjunction with the base element will operate when using the top oven.

2.The top oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will then turn ON and OFF showing that the oven temperature is being maintained.

3.The cooling fan will operate. For more details about the cooling fan see page 9.

4.The interior oven light will come ON when the top oven control is turned.

5.Always place plates on the oven shelf to warm. Never place dishes directly on the top oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.

TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF

The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected.
