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 90-100°C on the top oven control dial.
SELECTING THE TOP OVEN
l
Turn the top oven temperature control to the required setting. Our diagram shows the oven set to 150°C. Close the oven door.

THINGS TO NOTE 1. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is in use. Only the outer part of the top oven element in conjunction with the base element will operate when using the top oven. 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. Always place plates on the oven shelf to warm. Never place directly on the top oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.

HINTS AND TIPS
l
All 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. 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
Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning.
