When you are cooking keep
children away from the vicinity
of the oven.
Caution:
The top element gets
extremely hot when in use, so take
extra care to avoid touching it.
To turn on the top oven
Turn the temperature control knob
clockwise until the required temperature
is showing in the window.
The red thermostat indicator will come
on until the selected temperature is
reached, and then go off; it will turn
on and off periodically as the
thermostat operates to maintain the
selected temperature.
To switch off,
return the top oven
control knob to the off position.
Note:
The top oven is not controlled by
the programmer.
Important:
Never put items directly
on the base of the oven, or cover the
oven base with foil, as this may cause
the element to overheat. Always
position items on the shelf.
The cooling fan
When the top oven is switched on, you
will hear the cooling fan come on - this
keeps the fascia and control knobs of
the appliance cool during cooking
only. The fan will continue to operate
for a period after the oven control has
been switched off.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled foods, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés, and
whisked sponges.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
light switches off for the first time, this
will take up to 20 minutes depending
on the temperature selected.
If you are not preheating the oven, the
cooking times in the following guide
may need to be extended, as they are
based on a preheated oven.
Shelf positions
There are 5 shelf positions which are
counted from the bottom of the oven
upwards, so shelf position 1 is the lowest.
When cooking frozen or chilled food,
use the highest possible shelf position,
while allowing some clearance
between the food and the top element.
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing up.
Position baking trays and roasting tins
on the middle of the shelves, and leave
one clear shelf position between
shelves, to allow for circulation of heat.
Important:
Never put items directly
on the base of the oven with foil, as this
may cause the element to overheat.
Always position items on the shelf.
