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.
The oven timer offers you the following features:
1. Time of Day
2. Automatic Cooking
3. Minute Minder
Automatic Cooking
The ovens can be controlled automatically.
Guidance on automatic cooking
1. Select foods which will take the same time to
cook.
2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just
finished or is just 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.
Timer Operation
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 tome and the ‘bell’ symbol will disap-
pear.
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 indicate 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).
