Cooking in the Top Oven – Conventional Cooking

The Top Oven can be used to cook small quantities of food or used in conjunction with the Main Oven to provide additional cooking space so often necessary when entertaining.

The oven is designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output (element will not glow), combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven.

Do not place items directly onto the floor of the oven.

To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf directly beneath the element. (As a guide, the front of the

utensil should be approximately

100 mm/4 in from the front of the shelf.)

There are two cooking positions, the shelf placed on runner 1 or 2 (from the base).

Food or utensils must never be placed directly on the floor of the oven.

There should always be at least 25mm (1 in) between the top of the food and the grill element.

Do not use utensils larger than 300mm x 230mm (12in x 9in). Larger utensils should be used in the Main oven.

Operation

To heat the oven, turn the Top Oven/Grill Selector clockwise, selecting the required temperature between 100˚C (200˚F) and 220˚C (425˚F) as recommended in the Top Oven Temperature Charts. The Top Oven indicator light will immediately come on and remain on until the oven

reaches the required temperature. The indicator light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the thermostat maintains the correct temperature. If the indicator light doesn’t come on when the control knob is turned, check that the oven timer is set to Manual as described in ‘Oven Timer Operation'.

Cooking Meat/Poultry in the Top Oven

The Top Oven is most useful for the longer slower cooking required for cheaper cuts of meat – casserole cooking, pot roasting, braising etc. Small joints of meat up to 1.5 kg (3 Ib), or poultry, up to 3.6 kg (8 Ib) in weight can be roasted in a small meat pan in the Top Oven, but should preferably be ‘slow roasted’ or covered with a lid of aluminium foil (one or two incisions in the top of the foil will allow the meat or poultry to brown).

Larger joints of meat, and poultry weighing more than 3.6 kg (8 Ib), should be roasted in the Main Oven.

Do not use the Main Oven meat pan or the grill pan as a meat pan in the Top Oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.

Top Oven as a Warming Compartment for Plates and Dishes

Place the plates and dishes on the shelf that has been positioned on runner 1 of the oven and turn on the Top Oven thermostat to 100˚C for 10- 15 minutes.

DO NOT use the grill control.
