THE TOP OVEN

USES OF THE TOP OVEN

The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. The top oven is a conventional oven i.e. without a fan. It is convenient where smaller quantities or convenience foods are being cooked. It is important to refer to the top oven cooking chart as a guide to shelf positions and temperatures as these may differ from previous cookers you may have used.

The top oven is also ideal for use as warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a temperature setting of 80°C - 100°C on the top oven temperature control.

HOW TO USE THE TOP OVEN

1.Turn the Top Oven temperature control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

The top oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will turn on and off periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained.

The cooling fan for the controls will operate after a time. See page 7 for more information on the operation of the cooling fan.

The top oven works independently of the main oven and is not controlled by the multifunction selector.

Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.

TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF

There are 5 shelf positions in the top oven. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards.

The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven.

If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected.
