The top oven should be used to cook small quantities
of food.The oven is designed so that the grill element
operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined
with a heating element situated underneath the floor of
the oven.
To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that
cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven
shelf so that the element is directly above.
There are two cooking positions, the shelf placed on
runner 1 or 2 (from the base), do not use shelves
upside down.
Food/utensils must not be placed directly on the
oven floor.
There should always be at least 25mm (1in) between
the top of the food and the grill element.
Warning: Items stored in top oven will get hot when
main oven is in use.
Top Oven Cookery Notes
Operation
To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise.The
top oven pilot light will come on and remain on until
the oven reaches the required temperature.The pilot
light will automatically go on and off during cooking as
the thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
Cooking meat/poultry
Small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3 lbs), or poultry, up
to 3.6kg (8 lbs) (60cm cookers) in weight can be
roasted in a small meat pan in the top oven. Larger
joints of meat/poultry weighing more than 3.6kg (8 lbs)
(60cm cookers) should be roasted in the main oven.
Do not use the grill pan as a meat pan in the top
oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.
Top oven as a warming compartment for plates
Place the plates/dishes on the shelf, positioned on
runner 1, turn top oven control to 100°C for 10-15
minutes.Never use grill control.
