Important:
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 people
with sensitive skin. We recommend
that you hold the underneath of the
oven door handle. Top oven baking guide
Cooking times
The cooking times given in the following
guide are based on a preheated oven,
if you don’t preheat the oven the cooking
times may need to be extended.
Cooking temperatures
Because the top oven is more compact
it may be necessary to reduce the
cooking temperatures specified in
recipes by up to 20˚C.
Use the
following guide as a reference for
determining temperatures to use.
