TOP OVEN

 

 

The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is 
heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven.  
It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food on 
one shelf.  It gives especially good results if used to 
cook fruit cakes, sweet and savoury flans or quiche. 
The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming 
compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot.  Use 
the lowest setting on the second oven temperature 
control. 
 

USING THE TOP OVEN 

• 

Turn the top oven/grill function selector to.  

• 

Turn the top oven/grill temperature control to the 
required setting. 

 
THINGS TO NOTE 
 

• 

The oven light will illuminate. 

• 

The indicator neon will glow.  It may turn ON and 
OFF during use to show that the setting is being 
maintained. 

• 

The cooling fan for the controls may operate after 
a time. 

 
 

Do not

 

place dishes, tins or baking trays 

directly on the oven base as it becomes 
very hot and damage will occur. 

 

 

TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF 

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

To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you until 
the shelf stop is reached.  Tilt shelf up at the front so 
that the stops clear the side supports.  Lift shelf clear.  
To install a shelf, reverse the above steps.  Each 
shelf position has an upper and lower support wire, 
ensure the shelf is placed between these two support 
wires.
