[. . . ] Select the required cooking temperature (80 to 230oC) by turning control (C) clockwise. The pilot light ( q ) will immediately come on, and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature. Note: When you have finished using your cooker, always return the controls to their OFF (O) position. At the end of the cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal. 20 Using the Main Oven for Other Functions Fan Only FAN ONLY SETTING 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 non-heating 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 Main Oven Temperature and Function Control (C) clockwise to the setting. Fan Only 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. Oven Light LIGHT ONLY SETTING When the Main Oven Temperature & Function Control (C) is turned clockwise to the Oven setting, the main oven light only will illuminate. Light 21 Using the Main Oven for Other Functions `S' SLOW COOK SETTING 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. Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours. OPERATION: 1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed. Select Slow Cooking Temperature `S' by turning Main Oven Temperature & Function Control (C) clockwise. STORAGE & RE-HEATING OF FOOD: 1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container and cool as soon as possible. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving. Only re-heat food once. POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PREPARING FOOD FOR SLOW COOKING 1.
