Oven Timer Operation
The oven timer offers you the following features:
1. Time of Day
2. Automatic Cooking
3. Minute Minder
Automatic Cooking
The Main Oven (only) can be controlled by the automatic timer.
Never operate the grill or top oven when the main oven is set to cook
automatically because the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause
bacterial growth in food.
1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook and require
approximately the same temperature.
2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or about to
finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the
food has not cooled down and does not require reheating
before serving.
Hints on
Automatic
Cooking
3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven,
ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry
should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.
4. We advise that warm food should never be placed in the oven if
there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat
and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.
5. We advise dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat,
for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically
if there is to be a delay period.
6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so
that the delay period is kept to a minimum.
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain
foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to
a minimum.
8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the
delay period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before
serving.
9. 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.
10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent
boiling over.
11. 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.
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.
1. Make sure all oven controls are turned Off.
2. Check that the electricity supply to the oven is turned On.
3. Check that the oven clock is at the right time of day.

Using the Top Oven for Solarplus Grilling
Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional grill. Creda have developed a Solarplus
high speed grill which is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it
takes less time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat
before food is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be
used directly from cold without any pre-heat.
However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by pre-heating the grill for
about 1 minute.
Note: You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. This stops you
from touching live parts.
DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh as this could
damage the element wire, break the glass tubes or if the grill is on, cause electric
shock.
During use the mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to clean it while the grill is
still on. Turn off at the control and allow to cool before cleaning. Care must be taken
to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted – do not store the grill pan handle on the food
support when the shelf is in the highest position.
IMPORTANT
GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN DOOR
CLOSED.

Using the Top Oven as a Convection Oven
The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is designed so
that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a
heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven. To ensure even cooking of
the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven
shelf so that the element is directly above. As a guide, the front of the utensil should
be approx. 100mm (4”) from the front of the shelf.
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.

Using the Main Oven for Fan Cooking
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 “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.
Main Oven Shelf Positioning for Fan Oven
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of heat in the
main oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.
The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities of food.
(N.B. Maximum 2 shelves in the main oven).
Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven
for cooking.
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the main oven is in use as the surfaces

When all three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be necessary to
increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for
the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food.
Baking trays should have an even gap around the oven.

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.

Defrosting frozen meat and 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
Fan
Only
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
‘S’ SLOW 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.
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.
Operation:
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.
2. Select ‘S’ (Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning Main Oven Temperature &
Function Control (C) clockwise ensuring the oven door is fully closed.
Storage and 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.
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 for air
to circulate.
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however, if they
are cooked for 1-2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may be noticed.
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking on the
slow setting.
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170˚C for 30 minutes before
wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air circulation) before
turning the control to the slow setting and cooking immediately.
5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking with a
meat thermometer before serving.
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend placing
frozen food in the oven to cook.
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 top with foil
to prevent loss of moisture.
9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook properly.
10. Always adjust seasoning before serving.
11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and then
boiled for a minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any toxins.
12. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to avoid
overcooking.

BAKING GENERAL
Uneven rising of cakes
Sinking of cakes
Ensure that the oven shelves are level.
The following may cause cakes to sink:
1. Pre-heating of fan ovens – not always necessary.
2. Cooking at too high a temperature – reduce standard
temperatures by 25˚C for fan ovens.
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.
Over/undercooking
Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in the
Oven Temperature Charts provided, however, it may be
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C
to suit personal taste.
Do not use utensils greater than 56mm (2l⁄4'') in height for
roasting.
TOP OVEN BAKING
Uneven cooking front to back
Ensure that the cooking utensil is at least 100mm (4") from the
front of the shelf.
Uneven rising
Ensure that the shelf is level (as above) and that the food is
positioned correctly in the oven.
Overcooking
Remember to reduce cooking temperatures by 10˚C from
standard recipes when using the top oven.
Food is taking too long to cook
Ensure that the cooking utensil used in the top oven is not
larger than 300mm x 225mm (12"x 9"), e.g. Do Not use the

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
(a) How "Credaclean" works.
The surfaces of the "Credaclean" oven liners are treated with a
TOP OVEN SIDE LINERS
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
MAIN OVEN SIDE LINERS
them over with a clean, soapy cloth, followed by a wipe with a
clean damp cloth.
AND REAR PANEL
DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or chemical
oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage the “Credaclean” oven
liners.
