USE OF TOP OVEN
The top oven can be used to cook small quantities of food or used in conjunction with the main oven to provide
additional cooking space.
The top oven is fitted with a safety device that will cut off the gas supply to the burner if the flame is extinguished for
any reason. Each time the top oven is used, the safety device has to be activated by pushing and holding in the
control knob for 5 seconds after the gas has lit.
A gentle flow of air will be blown from underneath the control panel when the grill or top oven is in use.
TO USE THE TOP OVEN
1 Place the top oven shelf in the appropriate position (refer to cooking chart).
2 Push in and turn the control knob fully anti-clockwise. Continue to push in the control knob for at least a further 5
seconds after the gas has lit to allow time for the safety device to operate. If the burner extinguishes when the
control knob is released, repeat the procedure ensuring the control knob is fully depressed and allowing more
time for the safety device to operate.
