Oven Timer Operation
(EW82/85/92)
AUTOMATIC COOKING
The Oven can be controlled by the Automatic Timer.
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 automatic
cooking, keep the delay 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 oven
can be used.
