When you first switch the electricity supply on, the timer display will flash.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL The automatic control can be used to control either oven, but you can only use the control for both ovens at the same time if the cooking time is the same. When you use the automatic controls for the first time it’s probably best to choose a time when you are at home. That way you can check to make sure you’ve set everything correctly and you’ll feel much more confident when you are away from home in the future. SETTING THE CONTROLS FOR AUTOMATIC USE This is very easy.

To prolong the life of the hotplates:· Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket. · Never use an asbestos mat. · Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered with a saucepan. Double frying will ensure good chips. First fry the chips for a few minutes at 170°C/340°F to seal the outside. Remove the chips from the oil.

HINTS AND TIPS · DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur. Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be cooked in the main oven. However, they may be cooked on a flat shelf placed on the base of the top oven provided there is sufficient room for air circulation around the food. · The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes will affect the degree of base browning of the food.
THE MAIN FAN OVEN USES OF THE FAN OVEN The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven and the element heats the air which circulates in the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fan oven cooking are: PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may find you need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times.
