Using the Oven
Installation Instructions
Cooking frozen & chilled foods
●Preheat the oven.
●When cooking frozen or chilled foods, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If cooking more than one tray or item, cooking times may need to be increased.
●Please ensure that foods are piping hot before consumption.
●Always use the temperature setting stated on food packaging when cooking convenience food.
●Never overload the tray - eg; oven chips should be placed onto the baking tray in one even layer for satisfactory cooking.
●Follow the cooking times given on
packaging but remember they are only intended as a guide and do not take individual preferences into account.
●Always cook frozen convenience foods straight from the freezer unless packaging advises otherwise.
Slow cooking
●Make sure that frozen foods are thoroughly THAWED before cooking.
●Do not slow cook joints of meat or poultry weighing more than 21⁄4 kg / 41⁄2lb.
●For roasting joints of meat or poultry and for pot roasts preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6 and cook for 30 minutes, then adjust the oven control to ‘S’ slow cook setting for the remainder of the cooking time.
●Always use the top half of the oven when slow cooking.
●Slow cooking times will be about three times as long as conventional cooking times.
Baking guide - hints
To protect a very rich fruit cake during cooking, tie 2 layers of brown paper around the tin.
Cooking times for pastry dishes depend on the size and type of cooking dish and also the filling.
When cooking 2 trays of items, remove the top item when it is cooked and raise the lower item to the higher shelf to finish cooking, or where additional browning of the base is required - eg; pies and pastries - interchange part way through cooking.
