Top Oven Cookery Notes

Operation

Cooking meat/ poultry

Top oven as

awarming compartment for plates

The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a heating element situated underneath 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 so that the element is directly above.

There are two cooking positions, the shelf placed on runner 1 or 2 (from the base), do not use shelves upside down.

Food/utensils must not be placed directly on the oven floor.

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

Warning: Items stored in top oven will get hot when main oven is in use.

To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise. The top oven pilot light will come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required tempera- ture. The pilot light will automatically go on and off during cooking as the thermostat maintains the correct temperature.

Small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3 lbs), or poultry, up to 3.6kg (8 1lbs) (60cm cookers) in weight can be roasted in a small meat pan in the top oven. Larger joints of meat/poultry weighing more than 3.6kg (8 1lbs) (60cm cookers) should be roasted in the main oven.

Do not use the main oven meat pan (not all models) or grill pan as a meat pan in the top oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.

Place the plates/dishes on the shelf, positioned on runner 1, turn top oven control to 100˚C for 10-15 minutes. Never use grill control.

Featuring a blend of advanced technologies and user-friendly designs, these cookers promise to elevate your culinary experience while maintaining efficiency and safety.

One of the key features across these models is the multi-function oven.

In terms of design, these models showcase a sleek and contemporary appearance, available in multiple finishes to suit different kitchen aesthetics. The clean lines and minimalist control panel contribute to an easy-to-navigate interface, allowing users to select settings effortlessly.

Safety is paramount in the Hotpoint C-series, and features such as the thermostatic temperature control and flame failure safety device are integral parts of these cookers.
