Oven Timer Operation
9
The Main Oven can be controlled by the automatic timer.
1. Select foods which require the same cooking time and temperature.
2. To ensure food does not cool down and does not require reheating
set the end time so that 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 is 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 food.
7. We advise that dishes containing left-over, cooked poultry or meat eg.
Shepherd’s Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a
time 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.

Cooking
NOTE: The Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the ovens
can be used.
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.
