Tips on Cooking with the
Timer
If you want to cook more than one dish, choose dishes that
require approximately 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 them in larger containers.
Very perishable foods such as pork or fish should be avoided
if a long delay period is planned, especially in hot weather.
Don't place warm food in the oven to be timed.
Don't use a timed oven that is already warm.
Don't use the timed oven if the adjoining oven is already
warm.
Whole poultry must be thoroughly defrosted before being
placed in the oven. Check that meat and poultry are fully
cooked before serving.

General Oven Tips

The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly to the back
of the oven.
Baking trays, roasting tins, etc., should be placed level on the
middle of the oven's wire shelves. Keep all trays and containers
away from the sides of the oven - otherwise, overbrowning of the
food may occur.
For even browning, the maximum recommended size for a
baking tray is 340mm by 340mm.
Always leave a 'fingers width' between dishes on the same
shelf. This allows the heat to circulate freely around them.
The Cook & Clean oven liners (see 'Cleaning your Cooker')
work better when fat splashes are avoided. Cover meat when
cooking.
To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot fat
around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly with
cooking oil.
If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish, pre-heat a
baking tray for 15 minutes before placing the dish in the
centre of the tray.
Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking, place
them on a baking tray.
Multi-Function Oven
Functions
The Multi-function oven has many varied uses. We suggest
you keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar
with each function. Remember - not all functions will be
suitable for all food types.
Rapid Response
The Rapid Response setting enables you to pre-
heat the oven more quickly than normal. It uses the fan oven
element with additional heat from one of the elements in the
top of the oven. To use the feature, simply turn the function
control knob to R and set the temperature you require. The
light on the control panel adjacent to the R symbol will come
on. When the required temperature is reached, the light will
go out, as will the element at the top of the oven. The fan
element and oven fan will then continue to maintain your
chosen oven temperature.
Defrost
This function causes the fan to circulate only cold
air, enabling small items such as pieces of meat, fish and
poultry to be defrosted quickly in the oven, so that it is
protected from flies. The items should be placed on a rack,
over a tray, to catch any drips. Be sure to wash the rack and
tray after defrosting.
Defrost with the oven door closed.
Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely
defrosted before cooking.
Fan oven
This function operates the fan and the heating
element around it. An even heat is produced throughout the
oven, allowing you to cook large amounts quickly.
Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking on three
shelves at one time and is a good 'all-round' function. It may
be necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately
10°C for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven.
If you wish to pre-heat the oven, wait until the indicator light
has gone out before inserting the food.
Fanned grilling in the oven
This function operates the fan whilst the top
element is on. It produces a more even, less fierce heat
than a conventional grill. For best results, place the food
to be grilled, on a grid over a roasting tin, which should be
smaller than a conventional grill pan. This allows greater air
circulation. Thick pieces of meat or fish are ideal for grilling
in this way, as the circulated air reduces the fierceness of
the heat from the grill. The oven door should be kept closed
whilst grilling is in progress, to save energy. You will also find
that the food needs to be watched and turned less than for
normal grilling.
