Oven Timer Operation
11
The Main Oven (only) can be controlled by the automatic timer.
1. Select foods which will require the same cooking time and
temperature.
2. To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end
time so 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 it 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 the
food.
7. We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g.
Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a
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.

Hints on
Automatic
Cooking
Note: 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.
