WARNING:- DURING USE THE APPLIANCE
BECOMES HOT.
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID TOUCHING
HEATING ELEMENTS INSIDE THE OVEN.
The Top Oven is heated by two elements - the grill
element and an element under the floor of the oven. A
neon adjacent to the oven control indicates when the
oven is preheated, and cycles with the elements during
use.
Top Oven For Cooking (850 W)
To heat the oven, turn the top oven control knob (2)
clockwise, selecting the required temperature between
100°C (200°F) and 220°C (425°F) as recommended in
the Top Oven temperature chart.
The Top Oven can either be used alone, to cook small
quantities of food, or in conjunction with the Main Oven
to provide additional cooking space, so often necessary
when entertaining.
There are two cooking positions - runner 1 or the shelf
placed on the base of the oven. The correct positioning
of food is indicated in the temperature charts on page 17.
These charts are a guide only, giving approximate
cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste
and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or
decrease temperatures by 10°C. Food should be
positioned centrally under the grill element. Food must
never be placed directly on the floor of the oven, and
there should always be at least 25mm (1in.) between
the top of the food and the grill element.
Cooking Meat / Poultry in the Top Oven
The Top Oven is most useful for the longer slower
cooking required for cheaper cuts of meat - casserole
cooking, pot roasting, braising etc. Small joints of meat
can be roasted in a small meat pan in the Top Oven, but
should preferably be 'slow roasted' or covered with a
lid of aluminium foil (one or two incisions in the top of
the foil will allow the meat or poultry to brown). Always
ensure that there is at least 25mm (1in.) between the
top of the foil and the grill element. Do not use the grill
pan as a meat pan.
TOP OVEN COOKERY NOTES
Top Oven as a Hotcupboard
Plates and dishes placed on the floor of the Top Oven
will be heated when the Main Oven is in use. When the
Main Oven is not in use (for instance when a meal is
being cooked on the hob) place the plates and serving
dishes on the rod shelf using the bottom runner and
turn the Top Oven control to approximately 100°C
(200°F). A maximum time of 10-12 minutes is all that is
required to heat the plates and dishes.
NEVER operate the grill control when using the Top Oven
as a hotcupboard.
Note: Utensils stored in top oven will get hot when main
oven is in use. Care should be taken when removing
them.
