The top oven can be used to cook small quantities of food or used in conjunction with
the main oven to provide additional cooking space.
The shelf in the top oven has a heat shield fitted at the rear. The shield can be removed
for cleaning and grilling, but must be replaced when using the oven. The shelf can be
used in three different positions. It has a safety stop to prevent it from being pulled
out too far when attending to food. The shelf is removed from the oven by pulling it
out to the stop and then lifting at the front to withdraw.
The baking dish and grill pan without the handle can be used in the oven. The
maximum size of baking tray that should be used is 300mm x 350mm (12” x 14”).
TO USE THE TOP OVEN
1.
Check that the heat shield is fitted to the shelf.
2.
Place the top oven shelf in the chosen position. (refer to cooking chart).
3.
Push in and turn the top oven/grill control knob fully anti-clockwise. Sparking will
continue until the burner has lit.
4.
Turn the control knob clockwise to the required setting. (refer to cooking chart).
5.
There is a delay of about one minute whilst the safety device operates before the
burner comes on full.
6.
To turn off, turn the control knob clockwise to the symbol O.
NOTE: It is normal for a slight resistance to be felt when turning the control knob
to the oven settings.
GUIDANCE ON USING THE TOP OVEN
1.
Best results are obtained by pre-heating the oven for about 15 minutes.
2.
The tray or dish on which the food is to be cooked, should be pushed to the back
of the shelf.
3.
Food which is higher than or will rise above 125mm (5”) cannot be cooked in the
top oven.
Never place dishes on the oven base over the burner.
An odour may be noticed when first using the oven – this should cease after a short
period of use.
