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.
NEVER operate the grill when the ovens are set to cook automatically because
the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause
bacterial growth in food.

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.
SHELF POSITIONING
There should always be at least 25mm (1 inch) between the top of the food and
the grill element.

Using the Top Oven as a Convection Oven
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.
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 Check that the timer is in manual.
Step 2 Place the shelf in the correct position (see Oven Temperature Charts).
Step 3 Select the required cooking temperature (100–220oC) using control (B)
(see Top Oven Temperature Charts).
The pilot light ( ● ) will immediately come on, and remain on until the oven
reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically go off and
on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
Step 4 Place the food on the shelf directly below the element ensuring the oven
door is closed.
PLATE WARMING
Place the plates/dishes on shelf position 1 from the base of the top oven, and turn
top oven temperature and grill selection control (B) to 100oC for 10-15 minutes.
Never use the grill setting control (A) when warming plates.
TOP OVEN UTENSILS
Do Not use: Meat Pans and Baking Trays larger than – 225mm x 300mm (9”x12”)
Operation when using the Top Oven as a Convection

Using the Main Oven for Fan Cooking
Step 1 Check that the timer is in manual.
Step 2 Place the shelf/shelves in the correct position (see Main Oven Temperature Charts.
Step 3 Place the food centrally on the shelf ensuring the oven door is fully closed.
Step 4 Select the required cooking temperature (80 to 230oC) by turning control (C) clockwise.
The pilot light ( ● ) will immediately come on, and remain on until the oven reaches the
required temperature. The light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as
the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a
lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For
guides on “pre-heating”, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times” see “Oven
Temperature Charts” later in book.
MAIN OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of
heat in the main oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.
The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities
of food. (N.B. Maximum 3 shelves in the main oven).
Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven
for cooking.
MAIN OVEN UTENSILS
Do Not Use: Meat Pans larger than – 375mm x 300mm (15”x12”)
Baking Trays larger than – 325mm x 250mm (13”x10”)
TEMPERATURE & TIME
When all three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be
necessary to increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few
minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the
larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an even gap around the oven.
MAIN FAN OVEN OPERATION
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 (O)
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.
