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”).

TO USE THE TOP OVEN

1.Remove the grill pan and check that the heat shield is fitted to the shelf.

2.Place the top oven shelf in the appropriate position (refer to cooking chart).

3.Press in the ignition button and then push in and turn the control knob fully anti-clockwise. Continue to push in the control knob for a further 3 seconds after the gas has lit to allow time for the safety device to operate.

If the burner extinguishes when the control knob is released, repeat the procedure ensuring the control knob is fully depressed and allowing more time for the safety device to operate.

4.Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting. (refer to cooking chart).

5.To turn off, turn the control knob clockwise to the symbol O.

Always push the door firmly closed to ensure that there is no loss of heat through the door seal.

If for any reason, the oven burner has not lit after 15 seconds, turn the control knob to the OFF position. Leave the top oven door open and wait for at least one minute before attempting to light the burner again.

GUIDANCE ON USING THE TOP OVEN
