Packaging
The pallet and box your baker was delivered in are both recyclable, please
dispose of them responsibly. You must retain and re-use all packaging if the
baker is to be transported.
Installation
Choose a at work surface and if possible site the baker near ventilation or
extraction to assist with the dispersal of steam.
Your baker will need to be sited near a standard electrical 13 amp socket, do
not share this socket using a multi adaptor as the permitted electrical load for
the supply will be exceeded.
Keep the mains ex away from hot surfaces, do not push it underneath the
baker or trap it under/in anything.
Do not position the baker near the edge of a counter or work surface where
staff or customers could brush against it in passing. The exterior of this
appliance will get hot during operation.
Remove all packaging and run the oven at 200°C for 40mins when using for
the rst time, this will “burn-off” any oils left by the manufacturing process.
Operating Recommendations
Always apply the basic safeguards you would follow when using any cooking
equipment or handling hot food. Always use an oven glove or gauntlet when
operating the baker or removing potatoes from it.
Steam will escape when the main oven door is opened, do not stand too close
to it and avoid opening the oven door unnecessarily.
Caution: Baked potatoes sometimes burst when handled or during baking.
Do not turn the thermostat up to its full setting, this will invariably burn the
outside of the potatoes, moderate heat for longer is preferable.
PB1 or Classic 25, PB2 or Classic 50
(2xtrays inside main oven) (3xtrays inside main oven)
(The PB2 has an additional source of heat in the display oven, this switch is labelled “display
oven”, you should still run the main oven whilst the display oven is switched on).
Cooking Instructions
Remove the interior main oven trays and position the raw potatoes on the
trays ready for loading, this will help you gain maximum capacity from your
baker.
Pre-heat the main oven for 15 minutes by switching the “fan oven” switch to
“on” and setting the oven temperature to 200°C, the red neon will go off once
the oven has reached temperature. PB2 only: switch the “ display oven” switch
on when you are ready to use the display oven.
Place the loaded trays into the oven and if desired, set the timer to the
required amount of minutes, this timer will not turn the oven off but will indicate
the amount of time passed. Some Classic 25 and 50 models do not have an
audible timer tted.
Once the potatoes are cooked to your satisfaction place them in the display
oven ready for serving, with the main oven running at 200°C, the display oven
will maintain 100 ~120°C, (PB2 only ~ switch the display oven on also). To
use the main oven for storage, reduce the temperature to 100°C and adjust as
required.
Cooking Times
We base our cooking times on 8oz baking potatoes, larger ones will require
longer baking and reduce the oven capacity. In general you should expect:
PB1/Classic 25 24 x 8oz/225gr Approx 60 minutes at 200°C
18 x 10oz/284gr Approx 70 minutes at 200°C
PB2/Classic 50 50 x 8oz/225gr Approx 60 minutes at 200°C
40 x 10oz/284gr Approx 70 minutes at 200°C
When the main oven is fully loaded air-ow inside may become restricted, in
this case reduce the cooking temperature by 15° but increase the cooking
time.
Recommendations
We recommend the use of washed and graded baking potatoes such as
King Edward, Maris Piper or Desiree although there are other varieties your
supplier may recommend to you.
