The Cooking Modes
in your Cooker
GB
Your new cooker is equipped with a number of
different cooking modes:
Conventional Heating (Top Oven)
- with upper and lower heat. This system is
particularly suitable for roasting and baking on one
shelf only.
Variable Grilling (Top Oven)
- the oven can also be used for conventional grilling
with a full or half width fully controllable grill.
Note: The Top Oven door should be open when
grilling.
Fan Oven (Main Oven)
- the fan oven operates by constantly blowing
heated air, from an element wrapped around the fan,
into the oven. This gives improved efficiency and in
general, enables the use of lower temperatures for
cooking. It also means that there is less need to be
particolar about shelf positions and that you can
bake at more than one level simultaneously (Batch
Baking).
Roast Chicken (Main Oven)
- specially created for cooking excellent roast
poultry. This mode can be used to roast chickens,
duck, turkey and other poultry to perfection. Each
heating element is used in the cycle to guarantee a
homogeneous temperature within the oven. A
temperature is suggested on this mode but this can
be altered using the '+/-' control knob.
Fish (Main Oven)
- this mode provides gently pulsing top and rear
heat to lightly poach fish dishes without overcooking
or drying out. A temperature is suggested on this
mode but this can be altered using the '+/-' control
knob.
Rising (Main Oven)
- this mode heats and holds the oven at 40°C. It is
ideal for proving bread and yeast based dough
mixtures. When this mode is selected a cooking
duration of 14 minutes is automatically set, this can
be altered by pressing the 'time/mode' button until
the cooking duration icon flashes. Then use the '+/-'
control knob to adjust the cooking duration.
Traditional (Main Oven)
- the upper and rear heating elements are switched
on in this position. The traditional oven brings an
outstanding level of temperature distribution and
reduced consumption. In traditional cooking use
only one rack to ensure good heat distribution. By
using the various shelf positions available you can
balance the quantity of heat between the upper and
lower part. If cooking requires more heat from below
or above, use the lower or higher shelves
respectively.
Roast Meat (Main Oven)
- specially created for cooking joints of meat. This
mode raises the temperature in the oven to a very
high heat for the first part of the cooking cycle, to
seal the outside of the joint and retain the juices of
the meat throughout cooking. After this the
temperature is reduced to the set temperature using
each heating element in turn to guarantee a
homogeneous temperature for the cooking period. A
temperature is suggested on this mode but this can
be altered using the '+/-' control knob.
Bread cycle - Auto
- this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour.
When this mode is selected the time and
temperature cannot be adjusted. It is suitable for
baking bread weighing up to 1.5kg, either in a tin or
on a baking tray. This mode includes a proving
cycle and a baking cycle. If an initial proving cycle
is needed this can be done using the RISE mode
(8). Some recipe ideas are included in the recipe
book supplied with the cooker.
Cake cycle - Auto
- this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour.
When this mode is selected the time and
temperature cannot be adjusted. It is suitable for
baking sponge based cakes that take between 30
minutes and 1 hour to cook. Some recipe ideas are
included in the recipe book supplied with the
cooker.

Cooking Feature
When you first switch on the appliance you will
be prompted to set the 'Time of Day' on the
display. You must ensure you have done this
before attempting to use the automatic cooking
feature.
AUTOMATIC COOKING
The main oven can be controlled automatically.
HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING
- Select food which will require the same cooking
time and temperature.
- To ensure food does not cool down and require
reheating, set the end time so the food is ready
when you require it.
- Always ensure that meat and poultry is
defrosted before placing in the oven.
- Whenever possible, take food out of the
refrigerator and keep it as cool as possible.
- If cooking food that requires frying before
placing in the oven for automatic cooking, keep
the delay time to a minimum.
- Never place hot or warm food in the oven for
delayed start cooking as it could cause the oven
to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the
food.
- We advise that dishes containing left-over
cooked poultry and meat, eg. shepherds pie,
should not be cooked automatically if there is to
be a delay period.
- Ensure that delay start times are kept to a
minimum to prevent bacterial growth in food.
- Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle
during the delay period, so it is best to add
these ingredients just before serving.
- 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.
- Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too
full to prevent boiling over.
- 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.
- Always ensure that food is piping hot and
cooked thoroughly bifore serving.
- Only reheat food once.
