It is designed for cooking smaller quantities
of food. It gives especially good results if
used to cook fruit cakes, sweets and savoury
flans or quiche.
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.
Using the top oven
• Turn the top oven/grill selector to top oven.
• Turn the top oven temperature control to
the required setting.
Things to note
• The oven light will illuminate.
• The indicator neon will glow. It may turn
ON and OFF during use to show that the
setting is being maintained.
• The cooling fan for the controls may oper-
ate after a time.
• The grill cannot be operated when the top
oven is in use.
Warning! 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
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 to that the stops clear the side sup-
ports. 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 be-
tween these two support wires.
Main oven fan cooking
The fan oven is particularly suitable for cook-
ing larger quantities of food.
The advantages of fan oven cooking are:
Preheating
The fan oven quickly reaches its tempera-
ture, so it is not usually necessary to preheat
the oven. Without preheating however, you
may need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on
the recommended cooking times.
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.
Cooking temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in
the cooking chart.
As a guide reduce temperatures by about
20°C – 25°C for your own recipes, using a
conventional oven.
Batch baking
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf lev-
els, especially useful when batch baking.
Using main oven fan cooking
• Turn the main oven temperature control to
the required setting.
Things to note
• The oven light will illuminate.
• The indicator neon will glow. It may turn
ON and OFF during use to show that the
setting is being maintained.
• The cooling fan for the controls may oper-
ate after a time.
• The oven fan will operate.
• If an automatic programme has been set,
the oven light will not come on until cook-
ing begins.
The main oven shelves
The shelves 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
