5. To Cancel An Automatic Programme
A programme may be cancelled by returning the
cooking hours to zero. Press the cooking hours
button ( ) then turn ( - ) button until 0.00 is
displayed as Fig. 14.
The AUTO display will now flash and acts as a
reminder to reset the cooker to manual.
6. Things To Note
The time of day cannot be altered whilst the AUTO
symbol is lit.
During the hours of 10 p.m. (22.00 hrs) and 6 a.m.
the display will glow dim. If a function is selected the
display will glow brighter until the function is
complete. It will then revert back to the dim mode.
In the event of an interruption of the electricity
supply, the timer will reset itself to zero, and all
programming will be cancelled.
7. Automatic Cooking
It is advisable to leave food in the main oven for as
short a time as possible before automatic cooking.
Always ensure commercially prepared food is well
within its use by date and that home prepared food is
fresh and of good quality.
When cooking is complete, do not leave food to
stand in the main oven, but remove and cool it
quickly if the food is not to be consumed
immediately.
Always ensure food in the main oven has been
covered before cooking if it is not possible to remove
food immediately after cooking.
Hints and tips for automatic cooking
1 Check the instructions for setting the automatic
controls until you are familiar with the timer
operation.
2 If the main oven has been used, allow it to cool
completely before using for automatic cooking.
3 You should leave food in the main oven for as
short a time as possible before automatic
cooking starts.
4 Do not leave food to stand in the main oven
when it has finished cooking. You should remove
it and if it is not going to be eaten at once, cool it
quickly.
5 If you cannot remove food from the main oven as
soon as it is cooked make sure that the food is
covered.
6 Choose perishable foods carefully, especially
during warm weather.
7 Food should be fresh and preferably straight
from the refrigerator.
8 Joints of meat and poultry must be completely
thawed.
9 Dishes containing left over cooked meat or
poultry should not be cooked automatically if
there is a delay period.
10 Choose dishes which require approximately the
same cooking time. Slight variations may be
allowed by:-
i placing foods in larger or smaller containers
ii using more or less liquid
iii cutting fruit or vegetables into larger or
smaller pieces.
iv This will give longer or shorter cooking times
respectively. Further temperature
adjustments can be made by placing the
foods higher or lower in the main oven as the
top of the main oven is hotter than the
bottom.
11 Arrange shelf positions to suit dishes and choose
dishes which will fit into the main oven together.
12 As food may be standing for some time in the
main oven, cover dishes with foil or a lid where
possible, and in the case of roast potatoes and
joints of meat, brush with a little fat or oil. Lemon
juice may be added to fruit and vegetables to
prevent browning.
13 Cream should be added just before serving.
14 If alcohol is used fermentation can occur.
15 Green leaf vegetables which take only a short
time to cook, should not be placed into the main
oven with the automatic meal. It is far better to
cook them in a pan on the hotplate whilst dishing
up the rest of the meal.
