Preheating
Always use the fan oven setting for
preheating to save time and electricity.
After the oven has been preheated on
the fan oven setting, turn the selector
control knob to the oven setting you
require.
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled food, and we
recommend preheating for yeast mixtures,
batters, soufflés and whisked sponges,
otherwise preheating is not necessary
as a fan oven warms up quickly.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
neon switches off for the first time;
this will take between 5 - 15 minutes,
depending on the temperature selected.
To help the air circulate freely
• Position the shelves evenly within
the oven and maintain a clearance
from the oven roof and base.
• If more than one cooking dish or
baking tray is to be used on a shelf,
leave a gap of at least 25mm
between the items themselves and
the oven interior.
• Allow enough space between
shelves for food that will rise
during cooking.
•Do not place items on the oven
base as this will prevent air from
circulating freely.

Semi-automatic cooking
There are two types of semi automatic
cooking available on this appliance.
The oven must be switched on, and in
use to use either of these functions
successfully.
The Duration method allows you to set
the oven for a specific length of time.
If a dish needed 2 hours to cook, then
it would be possible for you to set the
oven to turn off 2 hours later. This
allows you to be sure that your food
will be cooked for a set length of time
and no longer.
The End Time method allows you to
enter a specific time when you would
like the oven to switch off. If you wish
to leave the oven unattended, then it
offers peace of mind that the oven will
have turned itself off at the set time.
To cancel the semi automatic pro-
grams, press both the Plus and Minus
buttons together. This can be done at
any time during the cooking process.
Then if necessary, re program.
For the instructions on how to use both
of these functions, please see the fol-
lowing page.
Fully automatic cooking
This function incorporates both a dura-
tion and an end time and is meant to be
used when you wish to delay the start
time.
We recommend that the first few times
this function is used you are in the
house, this will familiarise you with your
oven and prevents food from being over
cooked or under cooked.
Care must be taken when selecting
foods for this function, it is not recom-
mended for certain food items which
may spoil, or are sensitive to being left.
It is also advisable to set the end time to
be as close to your return as possible to
prevent food being left standing.

Automatic cooking
These notes below are to help you with
using the automatic cooking facility.
Please make sure that you read them
carefully before you start using the
automatic functions.
Do
• Familiarise yourself with the use of
the programmer.
• Select foods which are as fresh as
possible, and as cold as possible -
ie; preferably straight from the
refrigerator.
• Choose foods which are suitable
for cooking from a cold start, as
some dishes will be affected by
being left uncooked, at room tem-
perature, perhaps for several
hours, especially when the weath-
er is hot.
• Make sure that meat, poultry and
uncooked food are thoroughly
thawed before placing them in the
oven.
• Cover dishes with lids or foil, as
they may be left standing in the
oven for some time before cook-
ing.
Do not
• Never place warm food in the
oven for delayed cooking - eg;
stews prepared by frying meat first
must be thoroughly cooled before
placing in the oven.
• Do not cook dishes containing left
over cooked meat or poultry, or
pastry dishes with wet fillings, as
they are not suitable for automatic
cooking.
• Do not put food items intended for
delayed cooking into a warm oven
- allow the oven to cool before set-
ting for delayed cooking.
• Do not over-fill dishes containing
liquids, as they might boil over.
• Never leave food in the oven to
cool slowly after cooking, serve
immediately or refrigerate.
