Automatic / Delayed Time Cooking

Automatic and delayed time cooking will turn the oven on and off at times you have set. This is helpful when you are preparing meals in advance.

To Set Automatic / Delayed Time Cooking

Check that the clock shows the correct time.

Choose the upper or lower cavity (for double ovens only) Select the oven mode and temperature.

Decide how long the food will take to cook, allowing time for preheating if necessary.

Press the COOK TIME button and turn the SETTING SELECTOR to select this time. You do not need to set a Start Time.

Press the STOP TIME button and turn the SETTING SELECTOR to select the time you want the oven to turn off. The Stop Time must be set before the Cook Time settings are automatically adopted i.e. within 8 seconds of setting the Cook Time, otherwise the Cook Time will start and you will have to cancel the settings (see below) and start over.

If there is time to wait before cooking starts, ‘Delay’ and ‘Auto’ will show in the display along with the current time. The oven mode and temperature displays will dim.

The oven mode and temperature dials will still function as in manual operation; you can alter these prior to or during cooking, or you can manually turn the oven off before the set Cook Time has elapsed.

During cooking, ‘Auto’ and the remaining cook time will be shown in the clock display.

When the Cook Time is finished the oven will beep and turn off. The temperature and oven mode displays will dim and ‘Cook Time’ and ‘Auto’ will flash in the clock display.

Turn the oven mode and temperature dials to OFF and after 8 seconds the oven will return to manual operation.

To Set Automatic ‘Stop’ Cooking

The oven can be set to stop automatically at any time during normal use or at the time you turn it on. Remember to check that the clock shows the correct time and select the upper or lower cavity in a double oven.

Select the oven mode and temperature.

Press the STOP TIME button and turn the SETTING SELECTOR to select the time you want the oven to turn off. Auto will show in the clock display and the remaining ‘Cook Time’ will count down.

When the ‘Cook Time’ is finished the oven will ‘beep’ and turn off. The oven mode and temperature displays will dim. Turn the oven mode and temperature dials to OFF and after 8 seconds the oven will return to manual operation.

To Cancel Automatic / Delayed Time

Turn the temperature and mode dials to OFF. After 8 seconds the clock display will revert to the time of day and the oven will return to manual operation.

WARNING

Food safety is an important consideration when using delayed cooking modes.

To avoid potential spoiling of food and sickness, take the following steps:

Avoid using foods that will spoil while waiting for the cooking cycle to begin. Typical foods to avoid include those containing eggs and dairy products, cream soups, cooked and uncooked meats, poultry and fish.

If cooking will not begin immediately, place only very cold or frozen food in the oven. Most unfrozen foods should never stand in the oven for more than two hours before cooking begins.

Do not allow foods to remain in the oven for more than one hour after completion of the cooking cycle.
