NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture
in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated; keep
natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical
extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example
opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.

OVEN TIMER OPERATION
AUTOMATIC COOKING
The Top Oven and Main Oven can be controlled by the automatic timer. When the timer
control has been set for one oven, it is possible to use the other oven only during the
same automatic cooking programme.
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, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as possible.
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 Pie, 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.

“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.
