Oven Timer Operation

The oven timer offers you the following features:
1. Time of Day
2. Automatic Cooking
3. Minute Minder
The Main Oven (only) can be controlled by the automatic timer.
Never operate the grill or top oven when the main oven is set to cook
automatically because the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause
bacterial growth in food.
1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook and require
approximately the same temperature.
2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or about to
finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the
food has not cooled down and does not require reheating
before serving.
3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven,
ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry
should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.
4. We advise that warm food should never be placed in the oven if
there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat
and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.
5. We advise dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat,
for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically
if there is to be a delay period.
6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so
that the delay period is kept to a minimum.
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain
foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to
a minimum.
8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the
delay period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before
serving.
9. 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.
10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent
boiling over.
11. 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.
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.
1. Make sure all oven controls are turned Off.
2. Check that the electricity supply to the oven is turned On.
3. Check that the oven clock is at the right time of day.

CLOCKFACE
The timer incorporates a 24 hour clock.
Ensure the correct time of day is always set, before using you cooker.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DISPLAY WILL DIM BETWEEN 22.00
HOURS AND 06.00 HOURS TO PREVENT GLARE.
However, should you operate the timer during these hours the display will
return to normal brightness for a few seconds and then dim again.
SYMBOLS
will light up when you select a Minute Minder Period and will remain lit for the
period set. At the end of the Minute Minder Period, the timer will emit an audible
tone for 2 minutes, the symbol will start to flash and will continue to flash until
the Minute Minder function is cancelled.
This “Cookpot” symbol will light up either:–
– When you press the Cook Period Button and set a length of time for an Auto
Cooking Programme. (It will go out again a few seconds after you release the

“Manual” button twice – The “Auto” symbol will go out).
Here you can set a time period of up to 23 hours 59 minutes, that will count down.
When it reaches zero, the timer will emit an audible tone.
For Example: If you set 20 minutes, the audible tone will occur 20 minutes later.
Cook Period is the actual length of time for which, the timer will switch the oven(s)
on as part of an “Auto Cooking” programme.
(e.g. If you set 2 hours, the food will be cooked for 2 hours).
The time of day at which you want an “Auto Cooking” programme to end.
For Example: If you set a “Cook Period” for 2 hours, and “End Time” of 11:00. The
timer will switch the oven(s) on at 9:00 and turn the oven(s) off at 11:00. You will hear
a audible tone at 11:00, to indicate that the Auto Cooking Programme has finished.
Notes:
- When setting an Auto Cooking programme you will need to set the oven
controls(s) to the required temperature(s) when you set the timer.
- If an Auto Cooking programme has been set the oven(s) will only operate during
the pre-programmed time.
Needs to be pressed to cancel an Auto Cooking programme and return the ovens(s)

element.
Leave the control at 6 for toast, and for fast cooking of foods.
For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the switch to a lower setting after the
initial sealing on both sides at 6. The thicker the food, the lower the control should be set.
DO NOT line the grill pan with aluminium foil, as this increases the amount of fat spitting

Note: To stop fat splashing onto the grill mesh, it is important to use the anti-splash tray as
shown in the grilling chart. Always clean the grill pan, anti-splash tray and food grid after
each use.

Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional grill. Creda have developed a Solarplus
high speed grill which is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it
takes less time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat
before food is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be
used directly from cold without any pre-heat.
However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by pre-heating the grill for
about 1 minute.
During use the mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to clean it while the grill is
still on. Turn off at the control and allow to cool before cleaning. Care must be taken
to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted – do not store the grill pan handle on the food
grid when the shelf is in the highest position.
IMPORTANT
GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN DOOR
CLOSED.
Grilling procedure:
1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.
2. Ensure that the Easy Glide™ Shelf is located in the correct position (see ‘Guide to
Grilling’).
3. Preheat the grill, if necessary, with the Easy Glide™ Shelf pulled out (see Fig 1).
4. Locate the grill pan in the Easy Glide™ Shelf (see Fig 2) and push back under the
element.
5. The grill pan should be withdrawn, always using the grill pan handle, to the
stop position to turn or remove cooked food. (There is no need to remove the grill
pan from the Easy Glide™ Shelf).
6. NEVER line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause over heating of fat in
the grill pan.
NOTE: To stop fat splashing onto the grill element mesh, it is important to use the anti-
splash tray. Always clean the grill pan anti-splash tray and food grid after each use.
Using the Top Oven for Solarplus Grilling
16
Note: You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. This stops
you from touching live parts.
DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh as this could
damage the element wire, break the glass tubes or if the grill is on, cause electric
shock.

Note: The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the OFF position.
Food which requires browning only should be placed under the hot grill, directly on the shelf
in the first or second runner from the bottom of the oven, according to the depth of the dish.
Open the Grill door to the grilling position. i.e. fully.
With the grill door in the grilling position, heating the grill is achieved by turning the control
clockwise to the desired ‘grill setting’ on the control panel, as described under ‘setting the grill’.
Never: line the grill pan with aluminium foil.
Note: When the door is open, air will be blown from beneath the controls by the cooling fan,
and when controls are in the Off position. Preheat the grill at setting 4for approximately 5
minutes. The grill pan is placed on the shelf and should be correctly positioned under the grill
element. Leave the control at HI for toast, sealing and fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods
requiring longer cooking, turn the switch to a lower setting after the initial sealing on both
sides at 4. The thicker the food the lower the control should be set.
Grill pan handle

can be either detachable from or fixed to the pan. For a fixed handle remove the screw and
washers from the grill pan bracket, tilt the handle over the recess adjacent,to the bracket. (A)
Slide the handle towards the centre of the pan (B) and let the handle locate over the bracket.

AB C
Conventional Grilling (N230E)

The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is designed so
that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a
heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven. To ensure even cooking of
the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven
shelf so that the element is directly above. As a guide, the front of the utensil should
be approx. 100mm (4”) from the front of the shelf.
Easy Glide™ Shelf
The Easy Glide™ Shelf, in conjunction with the grill pan supplied can be used for
cooking in the oven(s), ie. meat, poultry etc. also for roasting vegetables.
Place the Easy Glide™ Shelf in the oven on the same runner position as stated in the
meat cooking chart.
Important:
Always remove the grill pan handle from the grill pan, when the pan is being used for
oven cooking.
Always use oven gloves when basting, turning or removing food from the oven, as the
Easy Glide™ Shelf and the pan will be hot.
Never remove the Easy Glide™ Shelf from the oven with pan and food still in position.
Shelf Positioning
There should always be at least 25mm (1 inch) between the top of the food and
the grill element.
DO NOT PLACE FOOD/UTENSILS DIRECTLY ON THE OVEN FLOOR
