SAFETY ADVICE
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:
1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE AT THE WALL SWITCH.
2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother
the flames and extinguish the fire.
3. LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT.
Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the
extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over. Never use water to extinguish oil or
fat fires.

OVEN TIMER OPERATION
Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the ovens
can be used.
AUTOMATIC COOKING
The Oven can be controlled by the automatic timer. When the
timer control has been set for one oven, it is possible to use the other oven only
during the same automatic cooking programme.
NEVER operate the grill when the ovens are 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, 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 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.

USING THE OVEN FOR FAN COOKING
C
Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a
lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary.
For guides on “pre-heating”, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times” see
“Oven Temperature Charts” later in book.
Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may
be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be
necessary to increase or decrease cooking times.
OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution
of heat in the oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.

DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a
refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing
2-3 hours per lb.).
Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before cooking in the oven.
However, to decrease the amount of time required to defrost food items, a nonheating fan only setting may be selected for the main oven only.
OPERATION: TO ASSIST IN DEFROSTING:
Place food in the oven and close the oven door.
Turn the Oven Temperature and Function Control (B) clockwise to the
setting.
This defrosts by circulating the air around the food, time to defrost will depend on
type and size of the food.

NOTES: DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food through.
Foods ideally suited to defrosting using the fan only setting are cream/cream
cakes, butter cream filled cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches,
pastries, biscuits, bread, croissants, fruit and many delicate frozen foods.
If fish, meat and poultry are to be defrosted using the fan only setting, where
possible it is recommended that the food should be small & thin.
The items should be placed so that the maximum amount of surface area is
exposed to the circulating air, and that they are turned regularly to ensure even
defrosting.
Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted by using the fan only setting up
to a maximum weight of 2 kg (4lb 8oz).
It is important to wash both meat and poultry and cooking utensils immediately
after defrosting and before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately after
defrosting.
It is very important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and
hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.

USING THE MAIN OVEN FOR OTHER
FUNCTIONS
“SLOW” SETTING
90
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short
periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be
damaged in a hot oven.
DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both
the oven lining and the plates which are being warmed.
ADVANTAGES OF SLOW COOKING ARE:
The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.
Fully loading the oven can be economical.
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.
The kitchen stays cooler.
OPERATION:
1. Place the prepared food in the oven and ensure the door is fully closed.
2. Select (Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning Oven Temperature
& Function Control (B) clockwise ensuring the oven door is fully closed.
STORAGE & RE-HEATING OF FOOD:
1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container
2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.
3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.
4. Only re-heat food once.
POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PREPARING FOOD FOR SLOW COOKING
1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however,
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170oC for 30 minutes
5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend
7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.
8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover to the
9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook
10. Always adjust seasoning before serving.

IF USING ALUMINIUM FOIL
1. Never allow foil to touch sides of oven.
2. Never cover interior with foil.
3. Never cover shelves with foil.
The most accurate method of testing the readiness of
joints of meat or whole poultry is to insert a meat ther
mometer into the thickest part of a joint of meat, or the
thickest part of poultry thighs, during the cooking
period. The meat thermometer will indicate when the
required internal temperature has been reached.

Home Economics Department is always available for advice if you write to:
1. Pre-heating of fan ovens – not always necessary.
2. Cooking at too high a temperature – reduce standard
temperatures by 25
3. Using normal creaming method with a soft margarine.
If using soft margarine, use an all in one method
instead of the traditional creaming of the margarine
and sugar. Remember when using a food mixer or
processor not to over-cream soft margarine.

CARE AND CLEANING
Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is
switched off and the appliance is fully cold.
1. “CREDACLEAN” OVEN LINERS
TOP OVEN SIDE LINERS
OVEN SIDE LINERS
AND REAR PANEL
(a) How "Credaclean" works.
The surfaces of the "Credaclean" oven liners are treated
with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking
soils. At temperatures of 220°C (425°F) or above, the
special surface enables these soils to be slowly
destroyed.
The higher the temperature the more effective it is.
(b) Cleaning.
In most cases normal cooking operations at 220°C
(425°F) will permit this cleaning operation to proceed
during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures
are not used regularly, it may be necessary, in order to
prevent heavy soiling, to run the ovens without shelves or
meat pan, at a maximum setting for a couple of hours.
It should not normally be necessary to clean the
"Credaclean" panels with water. If the user feels it is
desirable to do so, wipe them over with a clean, soapy
cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth.
DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh
abrasives or chemical oven cleaners of any kind as
this could damage the “Credaclean” oven liners.
