USING THE TOP OVEN
When you are cooking keep children
away from the vicinity of the oven.
Caution: The top element gets
extremely hot when in use, so
take extra care to avoid touch-
ing it.
The top oven is a conventional oven.
Note: The top oven is not controlled by
the programmer.
To turn on the top oven
Turn the temperature control knob until
the required temperature is selected.
The white thermostat indicator will come
on until the selected temperature is
reached,andthengoo.Itwillturnon
andoperiodicallyasthethermostat
operates to maintain the selected tem-
perature.
Toswitcho,returnthetopovencontrol
knobtotheoposition.
Important: Never put items directly on
the base of the oven, or cover the oven
base with foil, as this may cause the ele-
ment to overheat. Always position items
on the shelf.
The cooling fan
When the top oven is switched on, you
will hear the cooling fan come on - this
keeps the fascia and control knobs of the
appliance cool during cooking. The fan
may continue to operate for a period after
theovencontrolhasbeenswitchedo.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when cook-
ingfrozenorchilledfoods,andwerec-
ommend preheating for yeast mixtures,
batters,soués,andwhiskedsponges.
Preheat the oven until the indicator light
switchesoforthersttime,thiswill
take up to 15 minutes depending on the
temperature selected.
If you are not preheating the oven, the
cooking times in the following guide may
need to be extended, as they are based
on a preheated oven.
Shelf positions
Whencookingfrozenorchilledfood,use
the highest possible shelf position, while
allowing some clearance between the
food and the top element.
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the up-stand at the rear of the oven and
facing up. Position baking trays and roast-
ing tins on the middle of the shelves, and
leave one clear shelf position between
shelves, to allow for circulation of heat.
When using the top oven
As part of the cooking process, hot air is
expelled through a vent at the top of the
oven(s).Whenopeningtheovendoor,
care should be taken to avoid any possible
contact with potentially hot air, since this
may cause discomfort to people with sen-
sitive skin. We recommend that you hold
the underneath of the oven door handle.
