Oven Timer Operation

The oven timer offers you the following features:

2. Automatic Cooking
3. Minute Minder
Automatic Cooking
The Main Oven (only) 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
manually.
Hints on Automatic Cooking
1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook
and require 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 reheating 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 it is put in 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, for example 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 period is kept to a
minimum.
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth
in certain foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed
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 to add these
ingredients just before serving.
9. 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.
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. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.
12.Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.
Timer Operation
1. Make sure all oven controls are turned Off.

day.
