Cooking using the timer
The timer can be used to turn just one oven or both on and off automatically.
The start and stop time must be the same for both ovens but different cooking
temperatures can be set.
If you want to turn one of the ovens on at the same time as the timer is
set for automatic cooking, you must wait until the timer has turned on
the oven/ ovens fi rst. Then you can adjust either of them manually in
the normal way.
You can set the oven to turn on any time over the following 24 hour period.
If you want to cook more than one dish, choose dishes that require
ap prox i mate ly the same time. However, dishes can be ‘slowed down’
slightly by using small containers and covering them with aluminium
foil, or ‘speeded up’ slightly by cooking smaller quantities or placing in
larger containers.
Very perishable foods such as pork or fi sh should be avoided if a long delay
period is planned, especially in hot weather.
Don’t place warm food in the oven.
Don’t use an oven already warm.
Don’t use if an adjoining oven is warm.
Avoid using wine or beer if there is a delay period, as fermentation may take
place.
To avoid curdling, cream should be added to dishes just before
serving.
Fresh vegetables, which may discolour during a delay period, should be
coated in melted fat or immersed in a water and lemon juice solution.
Fruit pies, custard tarts or similar wet mixtures on top of uncooked pastry are
only sat is fac to ry if there is a short delay period. Dishes containing leftover
cooked meat or poultry should not be cooked automatically if there is a delay
period.
Whole poultry must be thoroughly defrosted before placing in the
oven.
Check that meat and poultry are fully cooked before serving.
