Using the Ovens
Using the top oven
The top oven can be used in the same
way as the main oven to cook a full
range of dishes, however it is a
secondary oven and there are some
differences.
The top oven cavity is smaller in size
and therefore better suited to smaller
dishes and food portions. Please do
not over load the oven or use
cookware which is too large. Foods
which rise will get better results when
cooked in the main oven as will large
dishes and joints of meat.
Ignition top oven
Push in and turn the main oven control
knob anti clockwise to the ‘FULL ON’
position (gas mark 9). The ignition
system will spark automatically. Push
in the control knob to ignite the gas.
The sparking will stop. If after 15
seconds, the burner has not lit, turn off
the oven and leave the compartment
door open. Wait at least one minute
before a further attempt to ignite the
burner.
Do not hold the control knob in for
more than 15 seconds.
Turn the control knob clockwise to the
required setting.
To turn off, return the control knob to
the “off” position.
Preheating
Most cooking times given in recipes,
or on convenience foods are based on
a preheated oven.
Always preheat the top oven for at
least 15 minutes if it is being used on
it’s own. This will give the oven
chance to maintain it’s optimum
temperature.
To achieve the best results when
cooking items which are chilled,
frozen, yeast based, batters, souffles
or sponges the oven must be
preheated.
If the oven is not preheated before use,
cooking times will need to be
extended.
Zones of heat - top oven
The temperature at the top
of the top
oven corresponds with the Gas mark
selected, and it is slightly cooler
towards the bottom of the oven.
