towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf 
up at the front to that the stops clear the side 
supports. Lift shelf clear. To insert a shelf, reverse the 
above steps.

• Arrange the shelves in the required positions 

before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are 
counted from the bottom upwards.

• There should always be at least 2.5 cm (1”) 

between the top of the food and the element. This 
gives best cooking results and allows room for rise 
in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc. When 
cooking cakes, pastry, scones bread etc., place the 
tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf.

• Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf 

and there is sufficient room around the baking 
tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.

• Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the 

shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to 
help reduce cleaning.

• The material and finish of the baking tray and 

dishes used affect base browning. Enamelware, 
dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base 
browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays 
reflect the heat away and give less base browning.

• Because of the smaller cooking space and lower 

temperatures, shorter cooking times are sometimes 
required. Be guided by the recommendations given 
in the cooking chart.

• Do not place baking trays directly on the oven base 

as it interferes with the oven air circulation and can 
lead to base burning; use the lower shelf position.

• For economy leave the door open for the shortest 

possible time, particularly when placing food into a 
pre-heated oven.

Do not place cookware and cooking pots with rough 
bases e.g. cast iron on the oven door as damage to 
the glass may occur.

The switch for the top oven allows you to select the 
oven functions. The symbols and their functions are 
briefly explained in the following lines. The detailed 
information for their usage will also be explained in 
the following pages. For grill functions refer to the grill 
chapter.

The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is 
designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It 
gives especially good results if used to cook 
fruitcakes, sweets and savory 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 second oven temperature 
control. 
At the end of cooking period, as in all other cooking 
processes; turn the top oven switch off. Take the 
cooking tray out and put it onto a safe place. Keep 
children away from the hot oven during and after 
cooking, until it has cooled completely.
The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and OFF 
during use to show that the setting is being 
maintained.

Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly on the 
oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will 
occur.

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
