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, 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 the lowest
setting on the top oven temperature control.
SELECTING THE TOP OVEN
·
Turn the top oven function selector to.
·
Turn the top oven temperature control to the
required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
The top oven neon indicator will glow until the oven
has reached the desired temperature and then go
out. It will then turn ON and OFF showing that the
oven temperature is being maintained.
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.
HINTS AND TIPS
·
Most cooking should be carried out using an
oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
·
Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be
cooked in the main oven. However, they may be
cooked on a shelf placed on the base of the top
oven provided there is sufficient room for air
circulation around the food.
·
Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.
