3.The cooling fan will operate immediately with the top oven. See page 9 for more details on the operation of the cooling fan.

lHINTS AND TIPS
Most cooking should be carried out using an
loven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be cooked in the main oven. However, they may be cooked on a flat shelf from the main oven placed on the base of the top oven provided there is sufficient room for air circulation around the food.
