TOP OVEN COOKERY NOTES
TOP OVEN AS A WARMING COMPARTMENT FOR PLATES AND DISHES
Larger joints of meat and poultry weighing more than 3.6kg (8lbs) 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.
Place the plates and dishes on the shelf that has been positioned on the floor of the oven and turn on the top oven control to 100oC for
MAIN OVEN
Main oven door
The main oven door is equipped with a removable inner glass panel for easy cleaning. On no account must the oven be operated without the inner glass panel in position. The glass is secured by two screws, accessible when the door is opened (see 'Care and Cleaning' page 34).
It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a
momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.
The main oven is illuminated when the main oven control is turned on, the light will remain on during the cooking period. Also a pilot light will immediately come On, and will go out when the desired temperature is reached, subsequently switching On and Off at intervals to maintain the correct temperature.
Note: If the pilot light does not come On when the control is turned, check that the timer is in Manual operation (page 16 step 10).
