The top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It
is designed for cooking smaller quantities of
food. 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.

After this time release the controls. The flame should
remain alight. If after 10 seconds the burner has not lit,
stop operating the appliance and wait at least 1 minute
before attempting a further ignition of the burner. When
the burner has lit release the control and ignition button,
adjust the setting as required.
Preheating
When you need to preheat the oven, we rec-
ommend you do so for 20 minutes. For recipes
needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pas-
tries, 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.
WARNING!
Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly on
the oven base as it becomes very hot and dam-
age will occur.
