6. Things To Note
The time of day cannot be altered whilst the AUTO symbol is lit.
During the hours of 10 p.m. (22.00 hrs) and 6 a.m. the display will glow dim. If a function is selected the display will glow brighter until the function is complete. It will then revert back to the dim mode.
In the event of an interruption of the electricity supply, the timer will reset itself to zero, and all programming will be cancelled.
7. Automatic Cooking
It is advisable to leave food in the main oven for as short a time as possible before automatic cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared food is well within its use by date and that home prepared food is fresh and of good quality.
When cooking is complete, do not leave food to stand in the main oven, but remove and cool it quickly if the food is not to be consumed immediately.
Always ensure food in the main oven has been covered before cooking if it is not possible to remove food immediately after cooking.
Hints and tips for automatic cooking
1Check the instructions for setting the automatic controls until you are familiar with the timer operation.
2If the main oven has been used, allow it to cool completely before using for automatic cooking.
3You should leave food in the main oven for as short a time as possible before automatic cooking starts.
4Do not leave food to stand in the main oven when it has finished cooking. You should remove it and if it is not going to be eaten at once, cool it quickly.
5If you cannot remove food from the main oven as soon as it is cooked make sure that the food is covered.
6Choose perishable foods carefully, especially during warm weather.
7Food should be fresh and preferably straight from the refrigerator.
8Joints of meat and poultry must be completely thawed.
9Dishes containing left over cooked meat or poultry should not be cooked automatically if there is a delay period.
10Choose dishes which require approximately the same cooking time. Slight variations may be allowed by:-
iplacing foods in larger or smaller containers
iiusing more or less liquid
iiicutting fruit or vegetables into larger or smaller pieces.
ivThis will give longer or shorter cooking times respectively. Further temperature adjustments can be made by placing the foods higher or lower in the main oven as the top of the main oven is hotter than the bottom.
11Arrange shelf positions to suit dishes and choose dishes which will fit into the main oven together.
12As food may be standing for some time in the main oven, cover dishes with foil or a lid where possible, and in the case of roast potatoes and joints of meat, brush with a little fat or oil. Lemon juice may be added to fruit and vegetables to prevent browning.
13Cream should be added just before serving.
14If alcohol is used fermentation can occur.
15Green leaf vegetables which take only a short time to cook, should not be placed into the main oven with the automatic meal. It is far better to cook them in a pan on the hotplate whilst dishing up the rest of the meal.
