Top Oven -

Conventional Cooking

The heat for conventional cooking in the top oven is

provided by the grill element and the element under

the floor of the oven. It is ideal for the slow cooking of

cheaper cuts of meat in casseroles etc. but can also

be used for small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3lb).

The operation of the controls is covered on “The

Controls”.

See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf

positioning.

The top oven can be used either independently to

cook small quantities of food or in conjunction with

the main oven to provide additional cooking space.

The shelf should be positioned on the first or

second runner from the bottom.

Set the top oven control to the required

temperature, the top oven light will come on and

wait for the thermostat light to go off, indicating

that the oven has reached the right temperature.

The food to be cooked should be placed in the

centre of the shelf with a gap of at least 25mm

(1in) between it and the grill element. This should

avoid burning and ensure even cooking.

Plates and dishes placed on shelf 1 of the top oven

will be heated when the main oven is in use.

When the main oven is not in use, for instance when a

meal is being cooked on the hob, place the plates and

serving dishes on the shelf using the bottom runner

and turn the top oven control to approximately 100°C.

A maximum time of 10-12 minutes is all that is required

to heat the plates and dishes.

NEVER

 operate the grill control when using the top

oven for cooking or warming plates and dishes.
