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 3
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.
The shelf in the top oven has a heat shield fitted at
the rear. The shield can be removed for cleaning and
grilling, but should be replaced when using the oven
for best cooking results. It has a safety stop to
prevent it from being pulled out too far when
attending to food.
The shelf is removed from the
oven by pulling it out to the
stop and then lifting at the
front to withdraw.
The maximum size of baking
tray that should be used is
300mm x 350mm (12" x 14").

1. Check that the heat shield is fitted to the shelf.
2. Place the top oven shelf in the appropriate position

3. Push in and turn the control knob fully anti-
clockwise. Continue to push in the control knob for
a further 3 seconds after the gas has lit to allow
time for the safety device to operate. If the burner

repeat the procedure ensuring the control knob is
fully depressed and allowing more time for the safety
device to operate.

setting. (refer to cooking chart).

there is no loss of heat through the door seal.
If for any reason the oven burner has not lit after 15
seconds, turn the control knob to the OFF position.
Leave the top oven door open and wait for at least 1
minute before attempting to light the burner again.

for about 15 minutes.
