THE TOP OVEN
 
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is 
designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. 
Place single dishes on the centre of the shelf. You 
should turn all food round during cooking 
The top oven is also ideal for use as warming 
compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. 
Use the top oven when you want to warm plates. 
Use the lowest setting on the top oven temperature 
control. 
PREHEATING
When you need to preheat the oven, we recommend 
you do so for 20 minutes. 
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, 
pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are 
achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best 
results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready 
meals always preheat the oven first.

THINGS TO NOTE
•
The grill cannot be operated when the top oven 
is in use. 
•
The cooling fan for the controls may operate 
after a time. 
Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly 
on the oven base as it becomes very hot and 
damage will occur. 
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF
Only use the shelf with the solid metal plate at the 
rear of the shelf in the grill/top oven. 
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods 
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the 
back of the oven. To remove a shelf slide the shelf 
towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf 
up at the front so that the stops clear the side 
supports. Lift shelf clear. To install a shelf, reverse 
the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper 
and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed 
between these two support wires.
