Oven Timer Operation

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The Main Oven can be controlled by the Automatic Timer (EW73/76 only).
The Main and Top Ovens can be controlled by the Automatic Timer (EW83/86 only).

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.
