Top Oven - Cookery Notes TOP OVEN COOKING The Top Oven is used in exactly the same way as the main oven to cook all types of food. It 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.
Oven Control To prepare meat for roasting in your electric oven Oven With the oven door closed, heating of the oven is achieved by turning the control clockwise to the required ‘oven temperature’ scale on the control panel, as recommended in the temperature charts.

Temperature and Time Meat pan and rod shelves Oven Cookery Notes The secret of succulent, tender meat, is not to roast quickly at too high a temperature. Best results are obtained when roasting is carried out at low temperatures. When a lower temperature is used, the joint loses less weight, is more ten- der (too high a temperature causes meat to be tough and dry), and the splashing of fat onto oven interior is reduced.
Care and Cleaning WARNING Turn off the main switch before cleaning. Before switching on again, ensure that all con- trols are in the off position. Never use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives, scouring pads, aerosols cleaners or oven chemical cleaners of any kind. CONTROL PANEL Wipe with a damp cloth wrung out in warm soapy water and polish with a dry cloth.
HOW ‘CREDACLEAN’ WORKS The surface of the ‘Credaclean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220°C (425°F) or above, the special sur- face enables these soils to be slowly destroyed. The higher the temperature the more effective it is.
