Top Oven -
Conventional Cooking
The heat for conventional cooking in the top oven is
provided by the grill element and the element under
the floor of the oven. It is ideal for the slow cooking of
cheaper cuts of meat in casseroles etc. but can also
be used for small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3lb).
The operation of the controls is covered in “The
Controls” on page 6.
See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf
positioning.
The top oven can be used either independently to
cook small quantities of food or in conjunction with
the main oven to provide additional cooking space.
• The shelf should be positioned on the first or
second runner from the bottom.
To use the oven proceed as follows:
• Set the top oven control to the required
temperature, the top oven light will come on and
wait for the thermostat light to go off, indicating
that the oven has reached the right temperature.
• The food to be cooked should be placed in the
centre of the shelf with a gap of at least 25mm
(1in) between it and the grill element. This should
avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
• Do not place food or dishes on the floor of the
oven.

Platewarming in the top oven
Plates and dishes placed on shelf 1 of the top oven
will be heated when the main oven is in use.
When the main oven is not in use, for instance when a
meal is being cooked on the hob, place the plates and
serving dishes on the shelf using the bottom runner
and turn the top oven control to approximately 100°C.
A maximum time of 10-12 minutes is all that is required
to heat the plates and dishes.

The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to
facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle
securely before use:
1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external
‘hooks’ embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)
2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits
exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2)
and holds the pan from the bottom.
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The
best results are achieved by placing the oven rack
on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into
the grill pan will make the collection of grease
particles more efficient and prevent the formation of
smoke.
