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 smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweets and savoury flans or quiche. The top oven is also ideal for use as warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the lowest setting on the top oven temperature control.
SELECTING THE TOP OVEN
·
To operate the top oven turn the temperature control to the required setting. Our diagram shows the oven set to 150°C. Close the oven door.
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF
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.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The grill cannot be operated if the top oven is in use. 2. The top oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained. 3. The cooling fan for the controls will operate. 4. The interior oven light will come ON when the top oven control is turned. 5. Always place plates on the oven shelf to warm. Never place dishes directly on the top oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.
