Using the top oven
Ignition
Push in and turn the top oven control
knob anticlockwise to the ‘F
ULL ON
’
position (gas mark 9). Hold the control
knob in, and press the ignition switch
or hold a lighted match or taper to the
burner, until the burner lights. Hold the
control knob in for 15 seconds. Do
not hold the control knob in for longer
that 15 seconds. If the burner fails to
light within this time, release the con-
trol knob and wait one minute before
attempting further ignition.
Turn the control knob to the required
setting.
To switch off, return the control knob to
the off position.
Using the top oven
The top oven can be used in the same
way as the main oven, to cook the full
range of dishes, but it is a
SECONDARY
oven and there are some differences.
Foods cooked in the top oven should
be in relation to the oven size. Larger
dishes, or food which may rise during
cooking, should be cooked in the
main oven.
Large items, wide tins and tall items
such as rich fruit cakes should be
cooked in the main oven to obtain
optimum results.
Notes:
When using the top oven as part of the
cooking process, hot air is expelled
through a vent at the top of the oven.
When opening the top oven door,
care should be taken to avoid any pos-
sible contact with potentially hot air,
since this may cause discomfort to
people with sensitive skin. We rec-
ommend that you hold the underneath
of the oven door handle.
Preheating
Always preheat the top oven
for
15 minutes. However, if the main
oven is being used at the same time,
then preheating may not be necessary.
The cooking time may need to be
shortened slightly, or the cooking
temperature adjusted, to allow for
heat transfer from the main oven to
the top oven if both ovens are used
together.
Preheat the main oven
for 15 minutes.
If you are not preheating the ovens,
the cooking times in the baking guides
may need to be extended, as they are
based on a preheated oven.
The ovens must be preheated when
reheating frozen or chilled foods, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked
sponges.
Put the oven shelves in the position
required before preheating the oven.
Oven light
Press the light button on the facia panel.
