Top Oven Cookery Notes
The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food.The oven is designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven.
To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf so that the element is directly above.
There are two cooking positions, the shelf placed on runner 1 or 2 (from the base), do not use shelves upside down.
Food/utensils must not be placed directly on the oven floor.
There should always be at least 25mm (1in) between the top of the food and the grill element.
Warning: Items stored in top oven will get hot when main oven is in use.
