Top Oven
The top oven can be used to cook small quantities of food or used in conjunction with the main oven to provide additional cooking space.
The top oven is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply to the burner if the flame is extinguished for any reason. Each time the top oven is used, the safety device has to be activated by pushing and holding in the control knob for 3 seconds after the gas has lit.
A gentle flow of air will be blown from underneath the control panel when the grill or top oven is in use. The shelf in the top oven has a heat shield fitted at the rear. The shield can be removed for cleaning and grilling, but should be replaced when using the oven for best cooking results. It has a safety stop to prevent it from being pulled out too far when attending to food. The shelf is removed from the oven by pulling it out to the stop and then lifting at the 
front to withdraw.
The maximum size of baking tray that should be used is 300mm x 350mm (12” x 14”).
