Cooking using the
timer
The timer can be used to turn just one
oven or both on and off automatically.
The start and stop time must be the
same for both ovens but different
cooking temperatures can be set.
If you want to turn one of the ovens
on at the same time as the timer is set
for automatic cooking, you must wait
until the timer has turned on the oven/
ovens first. Then you can adjust ei-
ther of them manually in the normal
way.
You can set the oven to turn on any
time over the following 24 hour period
If you want to cook more than one
dish, choose dishes that require ap-
proximately the same time. However,
dishes can be 'slowed down' slightly
by using small containers and cover-
ing them with aluminium foil, or
'speeded up' slightly by cooking
smaller quantities or placing in larger
containers.
Very perishable foods such as pork
or fish should be avoided if a long de-
lay period is planned, especially in hot
weather.
Don't place warm food in the oven.
Don't use an oven already warm.
Don't use if an adjoining oven is
warm.
Avoid using wine or beer if there is a
delay period, as fermentation may
take place.
To avoid curdling, cream should be
added to dishes just before serving.
Fresh vegetables, which may discol-
our during a delay period, should be
coated in melted fat or immersed in a
water and lemon juice solution.
Fruit pies, custard tarts or similar wet
mixtures on top of uncooked pastry
are only satisfactory if there is a short
delay period. Dishes containing lefto-
ver cooked meat or poultry should not
be cooked automatically if there is a
delay period.
Whole poultry must be thoroughly de-
frosted before placing in the oven.
Check that meat and poultry are fully
cooked before serving.
Cleaning your cooker
Before thorough cleaning, isolate the
electricity
supply.
Remember
switch on the electricity supply before
use.
Never use paint solvents, washing
soda, caustic cleaners, biological
powders, bleach, chlorine based
bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or
salt. Don't mix different cleaning prod-
ucts - they may react together with
hazardous results.
If you want to move your cooker for
cleaning, see the section called 'Mov-
ing your cooker'.
All parts of the cooker can be cleaned
with hot soapy water - but take care
that no surplus water seeps into the
appliance.
Hotplate burners
Some models have a separate trim
ring, which fits on the burner head.
The burner heads and caps can be
removed for cleaning. Make sure they
are absolutely dry before replacing.
Griddle
Always clean the griddle after use. Al-
low it to cool completely before re-
moving. Immerse the griddle plate in
hot soapy water. Use a soft cloth or,
for stubborn stains, a nylon washing
up brush.
NEVER USE CAUSTIC OR ABRA-
SIVE CLEANERS AS THESE WILL
DAMAGE THE SURFACE.
Grill
The grill pan and grid should be
washed in hot soapy water. After grill-
ing meats or any foods that soil, leave
to soak for a few minutes in the sink
immediately after use. Stubborn parti-
cles may be removed from the grid by
using a nylon brush.
Control Panel and Oven
Doors
Avoid using any abrasive cleaners in-
cluding cream cleaners, on brushed
Stainless Steel surfaces. For best re-
sults liquid detergents should be
used.
The control panel and control knobs
should only be cleaned with a soft
cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy
water - but take care that no surplus
water seeps into the appliance. Wipe
with a clean dampened cloth then
29
polish with a dry cloth. The oven
doors should only be cleaned with a
soft cloth wrung out in clean hot
to
soapy water.
Main Oven
The main oven has removable panels
that have been coated with special
enamel that partly cleans itself.
This does not stop all marks on the
lining, but helps to reduce the amount
of manual cleaning needed.
The Cook & Clean panels work better
above 200°C. If you do most of your
cooking below this temperature, oc-
casionally remove the panels and
wipe with a lint free cloth and hot
soapy water. The panels should then
be dried and replaced and the oven
heated at 200°C for about one hour.
This will ensure the Cook & Clean
panels are working effectively.
Don't use steel wool (or any other
materials that will scratch the sur-
face). Don't use oven cleaning pads.
Removing the Oven Linings
Some of the lining panels can be re-
moved for cleaning and for cleaning
behind. Remove the shelves first.
Slide the roof liner forward and re-
move.
Each side of the oven is fixed with
four fixing screws. You don't have to
remove the screws to remove the
oven linings. Lift each side panel up-
wards and they will slide off the
screws. Then pull them forwards.
Once the linings are removed, the
oven enamel interior can be cleaned.
When replacing the linings fit the side
linings first.
Make sure you fit the oven roof with
the slot at the front.
The Tall Oven
To clean the oven sides slide out the
shelves, unhook the supports from
the oven sides and lift out.
