Grill Control with Pilot light F Main Oven Control with Pilot light G Timer Oven Interior Lights The oven lights are operated when their respective oven control is used. (N.B. Not all models have a top oven interior light.) Slow Cooking The main oven has a "Slow Cook Setting" this can be used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for a short period (see page 16). Hob On Light The Hob On light will illuminate when one or more hotplates are switched on. This light remains illuminated until all the hotplate controls have been turned off. Note: Ensure that all controls have been switched off when you have finished using the appliance. Oven Timer Operation Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the ovens can be used. AUTOMATIC COOKING The Main Oven can be controlled by the automatic timer. NEVER operate the grill when the oven is set to cook automatically because the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause bacterial growth in food. 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, keep food as cool as possible before placing in the oven, ideally straight from a refrigerator. 5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for auto cooking, keep the delay start 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.
