USING THE TOP OVEN
When you are cooking keep children away from the vicinity of the oven.
Caution: The top element gets extremely hot when in use, so take extra care to avoid touching it.
The top oven is a conventional oven
Note: The top oven is not controlled by the programmer.
To turn on the top oven
Turn the temperature control knob clockwise until the required temperature is selected.
The red thermostat indicator will come on until the selected temperature is reached, and then go off; it will turn on and off peri odica lly as the thermostat operates to maintain the selected temperature.
To switch off, return the top oven control knob to the off position.
Important: Never put items directly on the base of the oven, or cover the oven base with foil, as this may cause the element to overheat. Always position items on the shelf.
Top heat only 
Turn the top oven selector past the oven temperature markings to the top heat symbol. This fixed heat setting can be used to brown the top of dish- es such as cauliflower cheese or baked alaska.
The cooling fan
When the top oven is switched on, you will hear the cooling fan come on - this keeps the fascia and control knobs of the appliance cool during cooking. The fan will continue to operate for a period after the oven control has been switched off.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when cooking frozen or chilled foods, and we recommend preheating for yeast mixtures, batters, soufflés, and whisked sponges.
Preheat the oven until the indicator light switches off for the first time, this will take up to 20 minutes depending on the temperature selected.
If you are not preheating the oven, the cooking times in the following guide may need to be extended, as they are based on a preheated oven.
