USING THE TOP OVEN
PROGRAMMER / CLOCK
Top oven baking guide
Shelf position
There are 5 shelf positions which are counted from the bottom of the oven upwards, so shelf position 1 is the lowest.
Cooking times
The cooking times given in the following guide are based on a preheated oven, if you don’t preheat the oven, the cooking times may need to be extended.
Cooking temperatures
Because the top oven is more compact it may be necessary to reduce the cooking temperatures specified in recipes by up to 20˚C. Use the following guide as a reference for determining temperatures to use.
Semi-automatic cooking (example)
You have started cooking a meal or dish in the oven, and want to set the time for the oven to switch off.
Press the cook time button, then use the plus and minus buttons to set the display to show the length of cooking time required, eg; 2 hours as shown (1).
After setting, the display will revert to show the time of day, but you can press the cook time button and the display will show how much cooking time still remains on the clock.
