Top Oven Cookery Notes (C261E, C361E, C461E, C365E and R365E)

Easy Glide™ Shelf (Models C361/461E only)

Important:

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.

The Easy Glide™ Shelf, in conjunction with the grill pan supplied can be used for cooking in the oven(s), ie. meat, poultry etc. also for roasting vegetables. Place the Easy Glide™ Shelf in the oven on the same runner position as stated in the meat cooking charts.

Always remove the grill pan handle from the grill pan when the pan is being used for oven cooking.

Always use oven gloves when basting, turning or removing food from the oven, as the Easy Glide™ Shelf and the grill pan will be hot.

Never remove the Easy Glide™ Shelf from the oven with the grill pan and food still in position.

Operation

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.
