Oven Timer Operation

The oven timer offers you the following features:

1. Time of Day

2. Automatic Cooking

3. Minute Minder

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.

1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook and require

approximately the same temperature.

2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or about to

finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the

food has not cooled down and does not require reheating

before serving.

3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven,

ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry

should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.

4. We advise that warm food should never be placed in the oven if

there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat

and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.

5. We advise dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat,

for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically

if there is to be a delay period.

6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so

that the delay period is kept to a minimum.

7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain

foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to

a minimum.

8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the

delay period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before

serving.

9. 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.

10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent

boiling over.

11. 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.

12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

1. Make sure all oven controls are turned Off.

2. Check that the electricity supply to the oven is turned On.

3. Check that the oven clock is at the right time of day.

CLOCKFACE

The timer incorporates a 24 hour clock.

Ensure the correct time of day is always set, before using your cooker.

SYMBOLS

A ‘bell’ symbol will light up when you select a Minute Minder Period and will

remain lit for the period set.

At the end of the Minute Minder Period, the timer will emit an audible tone and

the ‘bell’ symbol will disappear.

The ‘cookpot’ symbol will light up either:–

– When the timer is in manual mode, or

– During the actual Cook Period.

‘AUTO’ will light up:–

– When the timer is first turned on it will flash. It will go out when a time of day

is set or when the timer is set to manual.

The ‘AUTO’ symbol will flash at the end of an Auto Cooking programme to indi-

cate that the programme has finished.

(When the ‘AUTO’ symbol is flashing, to return the oven to Manual operation,

turn the oven controls off, ensure that the correct time of day is set, and press

the “Manual” button – The ‘AUTO’ symbol will go out).

Here you can set a time period of up to 23 hours 59 minutes, that will count down.

When it reaches zero, the timer will emit an audible tone.

For Example: If you set 20 minutes, the audible tone will occur 20 minutes later.

Cook Period is the actual length of time for which, the timer will switch the oven(s)

on as part of an “Auto Cooking” programme.

(e.g. If you set 2 hours, the food will be cooked for 2 hours).

The time of day at which you want an “Auto Cooking” programme to end.

For Example: If you set a “Cook Period” for 2 hours, and “End Time” of 11:00. The

timer will switch the oven(s) on at 9:00 and turn the oven(s) off at 11:00. You will hear

a audible tone at 11:00, to indicate that the Auto Cooking Programme has finished.

Notes:

- When setting an Auto Cooking programme you will need to set the oven

control(s) to the required temperature(s) when you set the timer.

- If an Auto Cooking programme has been set the oven(s) will only operate during

the pre-programmed time.

Needs to be pressed to cancel an Auto Cooking programme and return the oven(s) to

Manual operation.
