Top Oven Cookery Notes
The top oven should be used to cook small quantities
GB
of food.The oven is designed so that the grill element
operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a
heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven.
To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that
cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf
so that the element is directly above.
There are two cooking positions, the shelf placed on
runner 1 or 2 (from the base), do not use shelves upside
down.
Food/utensils must not be placed directly on the
oven floor.
There should always be at least 25mm (1in) between the
top of the food and the grill element.
Warning: Items stored in top oven will get hot when main
oven is in use.
Operation
To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise.The
top oven pilot light will come on and remain on until the
oven reaches the required temperature.The pilot light
will automatically go on and off during cooking as the
thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
Cooking meat/poultry
Small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3 lbs), or poultry, up to
3.6kg (8 lbs) (60cm cookers) in weight can be roasted in
a small meat pan in the top oven. Larger joints of meat/
poultry weighing more than 3.6kg (8 lbs) (60cm cookers)
should be roasted in the main oven.
Do not use the grill pan as a meat pan in the top oven
as air circulation will be seriously restricted.
Top oven as a warming compartment for plates
Place the plates/dishes on the shelf, positioned on runner
1, turn top oven control to 100°C for 10-15 minutes.Never
use grill control.
