THE TOP OVEN
USES OF THE 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 on one level and for smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet or savoury flans or quiche. The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a temperature setting of 80-100°C on the top oven control dial.
SELECTING THE TOP OVEN
l
Turn the top oven temperature control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE 1. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is in use. If the grill and top oven controls are selected at the same time, only the top oven will operate. 2. The top oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will then cycle ON and OFF showing that the oven temperature is being maintained. 3. The cooling fan will operate immediately with the top oven. See page 9 for more details on the operation of the cooling fan.

HINTS AND TIPS
l
Most cooking should be carried out using an oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF
The cranked shelf must only be used in the top oven compartment but a straight shelf from the main oven may be used to provide alternative positions. The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected.
l
Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be cooked in the main oven. However, they may be cooked on a flat shelf from the main oven placed on the base of the top oven provided there is sufficient room for air circulation around the food.
