USING THE TOP OVEN - ElEcTrIc

When you are cooking keep children away 

from the vicinity of the oven.

caution:

 The top element gets extremely 

hot when in use, so take extra care to 
avoid touching it.

The top oven is a conventional oven.

Note: 

The top oven is not controlled by the 

programmer.

To turn on the top oven

Turn the temperature control knob 
clockwise until the required temperature is 
selected.

The red thermostat indicator will come on 
until the selected temperature is reached, 
and then go off; it  will turn on and off 
periodically as the thermostat operates to 
maintain the selected temperature.

To switch off

, return the top oven control 

knob to the off position.

Important: 

Never put items directly on the 

base of the oven, or cover the oven base 
with foil, as this may cause the element 
to overheat. Always position items on the 
shelf.

The cooling fan

When the top oven is switched on, you 
will hear the cooling fan come on - this 
keeps the fascia and control knobs of the 
appliance cool during cooking. The fan 
may continue to operate for a period after 
the oven control has been switched off.

Preheating

The oven must be preheated when 
cooking frozen or chilled foods, and we 
recommend preheating for yeast mixtures, 
batters, soufflés, and whisked sponges.

Preheat the oven until the indicator light 
switches off for the first time, this will 
take up to 20 minutes depending on the 
temperature selected.

If you are not preheating the oven, the 
cooking times in the following guide may 
need to be extended, as they are based on 
a preheated oven.

Shelf positions

There are 2 shelf positions which are 
counted from the bottom of the oven 
upwards, so shelf position 1 is the lowest.

When cooking frozen or chilled food, use 
the highest possible shelf position, while 
allowing some clearance between the food 
and the top element.

The oven shelf must be positioned with the 
upstand at the rear of the oven and facing 
up. Position baking trays and roasting tins 
on the middle of the shelves, and leave 
one clear shelf position between shelves, 
to allow for circulation of heat.

When using the top oven

As part of the cooking process, hot air is 
expelled through a vent at the top of the 
oven(s). When opening the oven door, 
care should be taken to avoid any possible 
contact with potentially hot air, since 
this may cause discomfort to peoplewith 
sensitive skin. We recommend that you 
hold the underneath of the oven door 
handle.
