Timer Instructions
The oven timer offers you the following features:
1. Time of day
2. Automatic cooking (Large oven only)
3. Minute minder
The large oven can be controlled by the automatic timer. When the timer has
been set, the small oven remains functional.
Hints on Automatic 1. Select foods which will take the same amount of time to cook and require
Cooking 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 re-heating 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 being placed into 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 (eg.
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 start is kept to a minimum.
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain foods (eg.
Poultry, joints etc.) the delay 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 that these ingredients are added just before serving.
9. Foods that discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in
water (to which lemon juice has just been added) prior to placing the food
into the oven.
10. Dishes containing liquid should not be overfilled. This will prevent boiling
over.
11. Foods should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the
loss of liquid during cooling. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.
