The top oven (ZCV563DW/DX/DN)
Using the Top Oven
The switch for the top oven allows you to select the
oven functions. The symbols and their functions are
briefly explained in the following lines. The detailed
information for their usage will also be explained in
the following pages. For grill functions refer to the grill
chapter.
Top and Bottom Heating Function
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is
designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It
gives especially good results if used to cook
fruitcakes, sweets and savory flans or quiche. The
top oven is also ideal for use as warming
compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use
the top oven when you want to warm plates. Use the
lowest setting on the second oven temperature
control.
At the end of cooking period, as in all other cooking
processes; turn the top oven switch off. Take the
cooking tray out and put it onto a safe place. Keep
children away from the hot oven during and after
cooking, until it has cooled completely.
The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and OFF
during use to show that the setting is being
maintained.
!
WARNING!
Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly on the
oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will
occur.
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. To remove a shelf slide the shelf
towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf
up at the front to that the stops clear the side
supports. Lift shelf clear. To insert a shelf, reverse the
above steps.
Hints and tips
• Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are
counted from the bottom upwards.
• There should always be at least 2.5 cm (1")
between the top of the food and the element. This
gives best cooking results and allows room for rise
in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc. When
cooking cakes, pastry, scones bread etc., place the
tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf.
• Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf
and there is sufficient room around the baking
tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.
• Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the
shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to
help reduce cleaning.
• The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes used affect base browning. Enamelware,
dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base
browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays
reflect the heat away and give less base browning.
• Because of the smaller cooking space and lower
temperatures, shorter cooking times are sometimes
required. Be guided by the recommendations given
in the cooking chart.
• Do not place baking trays directly on the oven base
as it interferes with the oven air circulation and can
lead to base burning; use the lower shelf position.
• For economy leave the door open for the shortest
possible time, particularly when placing food into a
pre-heated oven.

WARNING!
Do not place cookware and cooking pots with rough
bases e.g. cast iron on the oven door as damage to
the glass may occur.
