Top oven baking guide
Cooking times
These times are based on cooking in a
preheated oven. These cooking times
are approximate, because the size
and type of cooking dish will influence
time as will personal preferences.
Shelf positions
As a general guide, when cooking
frozen or chilled food, use the highest
possible shelf position, while allowing
some clearance between the food and
the top element. Follow the instructions
given on packaging.
Shelf positions in an electric oven are
counted from the bottom position up.
Cooking temperatures
The temperature settings and times
given in the baking guides are based
on dishes made with block margarine.
If soft tub margarine is used, it may be
necessary to reduce the temperature
setting. If a recipe gives a different
temperature setting to that shown in
the guide, the recipe instruction should
be followed.
Because the top oven is more
compact, it may be necessary to
reduce cooking temperatures specified
in recipes by up to 20˚C.
Use the baking guide as a reference to
determine which temperatures to use.

(example)
For use when a delayed start time is
required.
You want to set the length of cooking
time, and the time for the oven to switch
off. The programmer will automatically
calculate the cooking start time.
Press the
cook time
button, then use the
plus
and
minus
buttons to set the
display to show the length of cooking
time required, eg; 2 hours as shown (
5
).
Press the
ready time
button, and the
present ready time will be displayed.
Using the
plus
and
minus
buttons you
can set the display to show the actual
time you want the oven to switch off,
eg; 18.00 hours (6.00 pm) (
6
).
The display will revert to show time of day.
After setting the programmer,
turn the oven control to the
required temperature.
The oven will automatically switch on
at the calculated start time of 16.00
hours (4.00 pm) (
7
).
A single press of the
cook time
button
shows the cooking time remaining
before the oven automatically switches
off (
8
).
