AUTOMATIC COOKING
The Main Oven can be controlled by the automatic timer.
HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING
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, keep food as cool as possible before placing in the oven, ideally
straight from a refrigerator.
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 ie,
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.
Note:Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the ovens
can be used.
NEVER operate the grill when the oven is set to cook automatically because the oven
cavity can become warm and this may cause bacterial growth in food.
