Using this facility on the Rayburn timer allows the user to select the amount of time the appliance is on and the finish/off
time.
HINTS ON THE USE OF THIS FACILITY
*
The Rayburn should be
COLD
before starting any automatic cooking where there is a delay in the start time.
Because the Rayburn is made from cast iron and will therefore retain the heat for a number of hours after it is turned
off, food should
NOT
be loaded into the appliance for automatic cooking if the Rayburn has been used earlier in the
day, or is slightly warm, even if it has been turned off for some hours.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE POINTS COULD RESULT IN FOOD POISONING
*
Only choose foods that require the same amount of time to cook and require the same oven temperature.
*
Food should be thoroughly thawed before it is put into the oven.
*
Warm food should
NEVER
be placed in the oven if there is a delay to the start of cooking. ie Stews prepared by
frying the meat/vegetables should be cooked immediately.
*
Dishes containing left-over food should not be cooked by this method.
*
On warm days or in centrally heated houses, the delayed start should be minimum, to avoid the growth of harmful
bacteria.
*
Dishes containing liquid should not be too full, to prevent boiling over.
*
At the end of the automatic cooking time although the Rayburn will switch off automatically it will remain hot for hours
after.
FOOD MUST BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY OR OVER COOKING WILL RESULT.
*
This facility should be used for the main oven only -
NOT
the lower oven or hotplate.
*
When starting from cold add an extra 40 minutes to the cooking time as an allowance for the Rayburn to warm up.
*
If a full load is to be cooked add an extra 30 minutes to the total cooking time.
*
ENSURE FOOD IS THOROUGHLY COOKED BEFORE SERVING
*
In the event of a short term power failure the auto cook will automatically adjust the amount of cooking time. As the
Rayburn retains its heat -
OVER COOKING MAY RESULT
.
