TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF
There are 3 shelf positions in the top oven.
Shelf positions are counted from the top
downwards.
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
HINTS AND TIPS
There are zones of heat within the oven. The
temperature in the middle is the gas mark you
have chosen. The top of the oven is slightly
hotter and the lower shelf slightly cooler.
The base of the oven can be used to warm
plates.
You can only cook on one shelf when using
the top oven.
There should always be at least 2.5cm (1")
between the top of the food and the grill
burner. This gives best cooking results and
allows room for rise in yeast mixtures,
Yorkshire puddings etc. When cooking cakes,
pastry, scones bread etc., place the tins or
baking trays centrally on the shelf.
Leave a gap of 13mm (½") between all
dishes and the oven sides so the heat can
circulate properly.
Do not push dishes too far back as it will burn
if it overhangs the burner flames.
If you use a baking tray larger than the
recommended size of 12" x 9", (30cm x
25cm), you may need to turn it around during
cooking.
Where a larger quantity of food is to be
cooked we recommend you use the main
oven.
The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes will affect the degree of base browning
of the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or
non-stick utensils increase base browning.
Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays
reflect the heat away and give less base
browning.
