Manual Operating Mode for the Oven
The oven can be used normally, i.e. without being pro-
grammed. In this case, knob 2 must be turned in the clock-
wise direction until the symbol appears in quadrant 4.
Semiautomatic Operating Mode
The start time is nornal and end cooking time is pro-
grammed:
prepare the food to be cooked; rotate knob 2 in the clock-
wise direction and set the number of minutes for the end
cooking time in quadrant 4; turn the oven knob to the de-
sired temperature. Make sure that the time on the clock is
synchronized with the time shown in quadrant 5.
Automatic Operating Mode
Arrange the food to be cooked; turn knob 2 in the clock-
wise direction, setting the length of the cooking time in
quadrant 4; press and rotate knob 3 in the clockwise di-
rection to set the cooking start time in quadrant 5; turn the
oven knob to the desired temperature setting.
At the end of the cooking time, the "0" in quadrant 4 will
be aligned with the marker; this indicates that the oven is
no longer operating. An acoustical signal will sound to in-
dicate that the cooking time is over.
To stop the signal, turn knob 2 in the clockwise direction
so that the symbol is aligned with the marker in quad-
rant 4.
Example of programmer setting for the automatic operat-
ing mode for the oven.
End cooking time: 7:00 p.m.
Length of cooking time: 2 hours.
Arrange the food that is to be cooked; turn knob 2 in the
clockwise direction, setting the length of the cooking time
(2 hours) in quadrant 4.; press and rotate knob 3 in the
clockwise direction, setting the end cooking time, 5:00, in
quadrant 5; turn the oven control knob to the temperature
setting desired.
After these settings have been made, the program-
mer will automatically stop and start the oven at 5:00
and 7:00 respectively.
Timer
The programmer can also serve as a timer only if the oven
is not programmed for automatic operating mode and is
not on.
To use the timer feature, turn knob 2 in the clockwise di-
rection to set the time in quadrant 4. The maximum time
setting is 210 minutes. To stop the acoustical signal, turn
knob 2 in the clockwise direction until the symbol is
aligned with the marker in quadrant 4.
Programmed Cooking
Programmed cooking is no different than normal cooking.
The programmer does not control the cooking time set-
ting when you are not present or doing other work. There-
fore, it is best to use the completely automatic mode for
foods which do not require special attention. When pro-
gramming a time greater than 12 hours, it must always
refer to the first 12 hours of the day (e.g. 20:00 must be
understood to mean 8:00 and so forth). Therefore, it is
possible to program cooking 12 hours in advance.
Important
To use the oven manually (without the programmer), the
following is necessary:
1. Upon adjusting the clock, make sure that the time
shown is synchronized with the time shown in
quadrant 5.
2. Turn knob 2 in the clockwise direction so that the
symbol is aligned with the marker in quadrant 4.
Defrosting of Foods in the oven
Defrosting occurs in the same way as at room temperature;
however at a faster rate. Electric power consumption for the
defrosting of foods is very low (ab. 0.38 KWh/hr)
Cooking
Different types of foods placed on the various cooking shelves
of the oven can be cooked simultaneously without any mixing
up of smells. A considerable saving of electric power is also
achieved at the same time. When several oven shelves are
used for simultaneous cooking of various foods, always leave
some space from one pan to the other for better air circulation.
Make sure that the air circulation slots on the bottom wall of
the oven are not obstructed. It is advisable to always use
aluminium pans, ensuring that the foods contained there in
does not overflow, as this could cause burning due to the
flow of hot air. The intermediate oven shelves should be used
when single cooking is done.
Caution
H. M. Government Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food
announcement necessitates the following warning. The
insertion of foodstuffs covered in close wrap plastic (cling
film) into utensils for cooking or within the oven for baking/
roasting is not recommended as it is possible that certain
elements of the plastic film can be absorbed by foodstuffs
when subjected to heat.
Baking cakes
Remember to preheat the oven when baking cakes. The
temperatures are normally about 160°C. Avoid opening the
door during baking. Cake dough must be of a fairly firm
consistency to avoid long baking times. In general:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the the temperature by 10°C.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
