The top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf
The top oven is also ideal for use as warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the top oven when you want to warm plates. Use the lowest setting on the top oven temperature control.
Preheating
When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend you do so for 20 minutes.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.
Using the top oven
Fully open the door before lighting the top oven.
Push in and hold the control knob, turn the knob to the highest setting.
Press the ignition button immediately. Keep the control knob depressed for up to 5 seconds but no longer than 10 seconds.
When the burner has lit release the control and ignition button, adjust the setting as required. If after 10 seconds the burner has not lit, stop operating the appliance and wait for at least 1 minute before attempting a further ignition of the burner.
