Oven Timer Operation

 

Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the

 

ovens can be used.

Automatic Cooking The Main Oven (only) can be controlled by the automatic timer.

 

 

 

NEVER operate the grill or top oven when the main oven is set

 

to cook automatically because the oven cavity can become

 

warm and this may cause bacterial growth in food.

Hints on

1.

Select foods which will require the same cooking time and

Automatic

 

temperature.

Cooking

2.

To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end

 

 

time so the food is ready when you require it.

 

3.

Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the

 

 

oven.

 

4.

Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as

 

 

cool as possible.

 

5.

If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for auto

 

 

cooking, keep the delay start time to a minimum.

 

6.

Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay start cooking as it

 

 

could cause the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the

 

 

food.

 

7.

We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g.

 

 

Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a

 

 

delay period.

 

8.

Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent

 

 

bacterial growth in food.

 

9.

Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay

 

 

period so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.

 

10.

Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing

 

 

in water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in

 

 

the oven.

 

11.

Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling

 

 

over.

 

12.

Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent

 

 

the loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.

 

13.

Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before

 

 

serving.

 

14.

Only reheat food once.
