Oven Timer Operation

The oven ti er offers you the following features:
1. Ti e of Day
2. Auto atic Cooking
3. Minute Minder
The Main Oven (only) can be controlled by the auto atic ti er.
Never operate the grill or top oven when the ain oven is set to cook
auto atically because the oven cavity can beco e war and this ay
cause bacterial growth in food.
1. Select foods which will take the sa e ti e to cook and require
approxi ately the sa e te perature.
2. Set the oven ti er 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 fro the refrigerator. Frozen eat and poultry
should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.
4. We advise that war food should never be placed in the oven if
there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by frying the eat
and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.
5. We advise dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or eat,
for exa ple Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked auto atically
if there is to be a delay period.
6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow ethod, so
that the delay period is kept to a ini u .
7. On war days, to prevent har ful bacterial growth in certain
foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to
a ini u .
8. Wine or beer ay fer ent and crea ay 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 le on 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. Alu iniu 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 ti e of day.

Cook Period is the actual length of ti e for which, the ti er will switch the
oven(s) on as part of an “Auto Cooking” progra e.
(e.g. If you set 2 hours, the food will be cooked for 2 hours).
The ti e of day at which you want an “Auto Cooking” progra e to end.
For xample: If you set a “Cook Period” for 2 hours, and “End Ti e” of 11:00.
The ti er 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
Progra e has finished.

Setting the Grill
The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control, either turning the
control clockwise for the twin grill ele ents on together (FULL GRILL) or turning the
control anti-clockwise for the single left hand grill ele ent only (HALF GRILL).
You can select a power level of 1through to 4in both directions.
The control is Off at O.
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 fro the botto 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 grill
control to the desired ‘grill setting’ - either clockwise for the twin grill ele ents (FULL
GRILL) or anti-clockwise for the single left hand grill ele ent (HALF GRILL), as described
under ‘setting the grill’.
Never: line the grill pan with alu iniu foil.
Note: When the door is open, air will be blown fro beneath the controls by the cooling
fan, and when controls are in the Off position. Preheat the grill at setting 4for
approxi ately 5inutes. The grill pan is placed on the shelf and should be correctly
positioned under the grill ele ent. Leave the control at 4for 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.

The top oven should be used to cook s all quantities of food. The oven is designed so
that the grill ele ent operates at a reduced heat output, this is co bined with a
heating ele ent situated underneath the floor of the oven. To ensure even cooking of
the food it is i portant that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven
shelf so that the ele ent is directly above. As a guide, the front of the utensil should
be approx. 100 (4”) fro the front of the shelf.

There should always be at least 25 (1 inch) between the top of the food and the grill

increase or decrease cooking times.
WARNING: Items stored in the top oven will get hot when the main oven is in use.
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the top oven is in use as the

Step 1 Ensure that the ti er is set to anual.
Step 2 Place the shelf in the correct position (see Oven Te perature Charts).
Step 3 Select the required cooking te perature (100–220˚C) using control (B)
(see Te perature Charts - Top Oven).
The pilot light will i ediately co e on, and re ain on until the oven
reaches the required te perature. The light will then auto atically go off
and on during cooking as the oven ther ostat aintains the correct
te perature.
Step 4 Place the food centrally on the shelf below the ele ent ensuring the oven
door is closed.
Plate Warming
Place the plates/dishes on shelf position 1 fro the base of the top oven, and
turn the Top Oven te perature Control (B) to 100˚C for 10-15 inutes.

Using the Main Oven for Fan Cooking
Since a circulaire fan oven heats up ore quickly and generally cooks food at a
lower te perature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary.
Refer to “Oven Te perature Charts”, pages 23 and 24.
Main Oven Shelf Positioning for Fan Oven
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of heat
in the ain oven, but the shelves ust be evenly spaced.
The top oven rod shelf can be used in the ain oven when cooking large quantities of
food. (N.B. Maxi u 2 shelves in the ain oven).
Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven
for cooking.

Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to
increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be necessary to increase or decrease
cooking times.
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the main oven is in use as the surfaces
get extremely hot.
Note: When you have finished using your cooker, always return the controls to their OFF (●)
position. At the end of the cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the door
is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a
good door seal.
