USES OF THE TOP OVEN

The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated b y elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is
designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It g ives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet
or savoury flans or quiche.
The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartm ent to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the lowest
setting on the top oven temperature control.

SELECTING THE TOP OVEN

· To operate the top oven turn the temperature
control to the required setting. Our diagram
shows the oven set to 160°C. Close the oven
door.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The grill cannot be operated if the top oven is in
use. Only the outer part of the top oven element
in conjunction with the base element will operate
when using the top oven.
2. The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and
OFF during use to show that the setting is being
maintained.
3. The cooling fan will operate. For more details
about the cooling fan see page 5.
4. The interior oven light will come on.
5. Always place plates on the oven shelf to warm.
Never place dishes directly on the top oven base
as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.

TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF

The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be affected.
