THE COOKING MODES
IN YOUR COOKER
Your new cooker is equipped with a number of different cooking modes:
Conventional Heating (Top Oven)
- with upper and lower heat. This system is particularly suitable for roasting and
baking on one shelf only.
Variable Grilling (Top Oven)
- the oven can also be used for conventional grilling with a full or half width fully
controllable grill.
Note: The Top Oven door should be open when grilling.
Fan Oven (Main Oven)
- the fan oven operates by constantly blowing heated air, from an element wrapped
around the fan, into the oven. This gives improved efficiency and in general, enables
the use of lower temperatures for cooking. It also means that there is less need to be
particolar about shelf positions and that you can bake at more than one level
simultaneously (Batch Baking).
Traditional (Main Oven)
- the upper and rear heating elements are switched on in this position. The traditional
oven brings an outstanding level of temperature distribution and reduced
consumption. In traditional cooking use only one rack to ensure good heat distribution.
By using the various shelf positions available you can balance the quantity of heat
between the upper and lower part. If cooking requires more heat from below or above,
use the lower or higher shelves respectively.
Roast Meat (Main Oven)
- specially created for cooking joints of meat. This mode raises the temperature in the
oven to a very high heat for the first part of the cooking cycle, to seal the outside of
the joint and retain the juices of the meat throughout cooking. After this the
temperature is reduced to the set temperature using each heating element in turn to
guarantee a homogeneous temperature for the cooking period. A temperature is
suggested on this mode but this can be altered using the '+/-' control knob.
Roast Chicken (Main Oven)
- specially created for cooking excellent roast poultry. This mode can be used to roast
chickens, duck, turkey and other poultry to perfection. Each heating element is used
in the cycle to guarantee a homogeneous temperature within the oven. A temperature
is suggested on this mode but this can be altered using the '+/-' control knob.

11
THE COOKING MODES
IN YOUR COOKER
Fish (Main Oven)
- this mode provides gently pulsing top and rear heat to lightly poach fish dishes
without overcooking or drying out. A temperature is suggested on this mode but this
can be altered using the '+/-' control knob.
Rising (Main Oven)
- this mode heats and holds the oven at 40°C. It is ideal for proving bread and yeast
based dough mixtures. When this mode is selected a cooking duration of 14 minutes
is automatically set, this can be altered by pressing the 'time/mode' button until the
cooking duration icon flashes. Then use the '+/-' control knob to adjust the cooking
duration.
Bread cycle - Auto
- this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour. When this mode is selected the
time and temperature cannot be adjusted. It is suitable for baking bread weighing up
to 1.5kg, either in a tin or on a baking tray. This mode includes a proving cycle and a
baking cycle. If an initial proving cycle is needed this can be done using the RISE
mode (8). Some recipe ideas are included in the recipe book supplied with the cooker.
Cake cycle - Auto
- this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour. When this mode is selected the
time and temperature cannot be adjusted. It is suitable for baking sponge based
cakes that take between 30 minutes and 1 hour to cook. Some recipe ideas are
included in the recipe book supplied with the cooker.

ELECTRONIC CLOCK & AUTOMATIC
COOKING FEATURE
When you first switch on the appliance you will be prompted to set the 'Time of Day' on the display.
You must ensure you have done this before attempting to use the automatic cooking feature.
AUTOMATIC COOKING
The main oven can be controlled automatically.
HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING
- Select food which will require the same cooking time and tem erature.
-To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so the food is ready when you
require it.
- Always ensure that meat and oultry is defrosted before lacing in the oven.
- Whenever ossible, take food out of the refrigerator and kee it as cool as ossible.
-If cooking food that requires frying before lacing in the oven for automatic cooking, kee the delay time to a
minimum.
-Never lace hot or warm food in the oven for delayed start cooking as it could cause the oven to be warm and
roduce harmful bacteria in the food.
-We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked oultry and meat, eg. she herds ie, should not be cooked
automatically if there is to be a delay eriod.
- Ensure that delay start times are ke t to a minimum to revent bacterial growth in food.
-Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay eriod, so it is best to add these ingredients
just before serving.
- Foods which discolour should be rotected by coating in fat or tossing in water to which lemon juice has been
added, rior to lacing food in the oven.
- Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to revent boiling over.
- Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to revent the loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium
foil gives a good seal.
- Always ensure that food is i ing hot and cooked thoroughly bifore serving.
- Only reheat food once.
