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).
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.
To use the oven proceed as follows:
Set the top oven control to the required
temperature, the top oven light will come on and
wait for the top oven 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.

Platewarming in the top oven
Plates and dishes placed on the floor 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.
