OVEN / GRILL Do

  • Always take care when removing food from the oven as the area around the cavity may be hot.
  • Always use oven gloves when handling any utensils that have been in the oven as they will be hot.
  • Always make sure that the oven shelves are resting in the correct position between two runners. Do not place the oven shelves on top of the highest runner, as this is not stable and can lead to spillage or injury.
  • Always use the Minute Minder (if fitted) if you are leaving the oven unattended - this reduces the risk of food burning.

Do Not

  • Never place items on the door while it is open.
  • Never wrap foil around the oven shelves or allow foil to block the air flue.
  • Never drape tea towels near the oven while it is on; this will cause a fire hazard.
  • Never pull heavy items, such as turkeys or large joints of meat, out from the oven on the shelf, as they may overbalance and fall.

Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used - young children should be kept away.

If cleaning the grill pan when it is hot, use oven gloves to move it.

Food for grilling should be positioned centrally on the trivet.

Using the TOP Oven grill

Cookology CDO900BK - Using the TOP Oven grill - 1

Grill

Important: The grill door must be fully open when the grill is used.

Open the grill door. Turn the control knob to the required setting. For best cooking results, we recommend that you preheat the single grill for 5 minutes.

Push the grill pan towards the back of the shelf, to position it under the grill.

Turn the temperature knob to the MAX position or by selecting a higher or lower shelf position. For toast-ing, and for grilling foods such as bacon, sausages or steaks, use a higher shelf position. For thicker foods such as chops or chicken joint pieces, use a middle to low shelf position.

To switch off, turn the control knob to the off○position.

Using aluminium foil

Using aluminium foil to cover the grill pan, or putting items wrapped in foil under the grill creates a fire hazard.

The cooling fan

When the grill is switched on, the cooling fan comes on to keep the fascia and control knobs cool during grilling.

During use the fan may cycle on and off, this is normal.

When you are cooking keep children away from the vicinity of the oven.

Caution: The top element gets extremely hot when in use, so take extra care to avoid touching it.

The top oven is a conventional oven.

Note: The top oven is not controlled by the programmer (if fitted).

To turn on the top oven

Turn the temperature control knob until the required temperature is selected.

The red thermostat indicator will come on until the selected temperature is reached, and then go off; it will turn on and off periodically as the thermostat operates to maintain the selected temperature.

To switch off, return the top oven control knob to the off position.

Important: Never put items directly on the base of the oven, or cover the oven base with foil, as this may cause the element to overheat. Always position items on the shelf.

The cooling fan

When the top oven is switched on, you will hear the cooling fan come on - this keeps the fascia and control knobs of the appliance cool during cooking.

Preheating

The oven must be preheated when cooking frozen or chilled foods, and we recommend preheating for yeast mixtures, batters, soufflés, and whisked sponges.

Preheat the oven until the indicator light switches off for the first time, this will take up to 15 minutes depending on the temperature selected.

If you are not preheating the oven, the cooking times in the following guide may need to be extended, as they are based on a preheated oven.

Shelf positions

There are 3 shelf positions which are counted from the bottom of the oven upwards, so shelf position 1 is the lowest.

When cooking frozen or chilled food, use the highest possible shelf position, while allowing some clearance between the food and the top element.

The oven shelf must be positioned with the up-stand at the rear of the oven and facing up. Position baking trays and roasting tins on the middle of the shelves, and leave one clear shelf position between shelves, to allow for circulation of heat.

When using the top oven

When opening the oven door, care should be taken to avoid any possible contact with potentially hot air, since this may cause discomfort to people with sensitive skin. We recommend that you hold the underneath of the oven door handle.

TOP OVEN BAKING GUIDE

Cooking times

These times are based on cooking in a preheated oven.

These cooking times are approximate, because the size and type of cooking dish will influence time as personal preferences.

Shelf positions

As a general guide, when cooking frozen or chilled food, use the highest possible shelf position, while allowing some clearance between the food and the top element. Follow the instructions given on packaging.

Cooking temperatures

The temperature settings and time given in the Baking Guides are based on dishes made with block margarine. If soft tub margarine is used, it may be necessary to reduce the temperature setting. If a recipe gives a different temperature setting to that shown in the guide, the recipe instruction should be followed.

Because the top oven is more compact, it may be necessary to reduce cooking temperatures specified in recipes by up to 20^ C.

Use the baking guide as a reference for determining which temperatures to use.

Sponge pudding150130 - 45 mins
Milk pudding1401 2 - 212 hours

Accessible parts may be hot when the oven is used. Young children should be kept away.

To switch on the oven

Turn the oven control knob(s) to the required setting.

The red thermostat indicator (if fitted) will come on until the selected temperature is reached and then go off; it will turn on and off periodically as the thermostat operates to maintain the selected temperature.

To switch off, return the control knob to the off ○ position.

When using the oven

As part of the cooking process, hot air is expelled through a vent in the oven. When opening the oven door, care should be taken to avoid any possible contact with potentially hot air, since this may cause discomfort to people with sensitive skin. We recommend that you hold the underneath of the oven door handle.

PREHEATING

Fanned oven

When cooking sensitive items such as souffle and Yorkshire puddings or, when cooking bread, we recommend that the oven is preheated until the neon switches off for the first time. For any other types of cooking, a preheat may not be required.

Conventional oven

Preheating is always required

Manual Operation (fanned only)

The cooling fan

The cooling fan may operate when the main oven is on and may continue to operate for a period after the oven has been switched off.

OVEN FURNITURE

Oven shelves

The oven shelf must be positioned with the upstand at the rear of the oven and facing upwards.

Position baking trays and roasting tins on the middle of the shelves.

Baking tray and roasting tins

For best cooked results and even browning, the recommended size baking trays and roasting tins that should be used are as follows;

Baking tray 473mm x 370mm

We recommend that you use good quality cookware. Poor quality trays and tins may warp when heated, leading to uneven baking results.

Aluminium foil

Use foil only to cover food or cooking dishes, using foil to cover the shelves or oven base creates a fire hazard.

Cooking with a fanned oven

As this is a high efficiency oven, you may notice the emission of steam from the oven when the door is opened. Please take care when opening the door.

If you are used to cooking with a conventional oven you will find a number of differences to cooking with a fan oven which will require a different approach:

There are no zones of heat in a fan oven as the convection fan at the back of the oven ensures an even temperature throughout the oven.

This makes it ideal for batch baking - eg; when planning a party as all the items will be cooked within the same length of time.

Foods are cooked at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, so conventional recipe temperature may have to be reduced. Please refer to the conversion chart.

Preheating is generally not necessary as a fan oven warms up quickly.

When batch baking foods that will rise during cooking - eg; bread - always ensure that enough space has been left between the shelves to allow for the rise.

Notes:

When 2 or more shelves are being used, it may be necessary to increase the cooking time slightly.

Because the 2 oven shelves are wider than in many ovens, it is possible to cook 2 items per shelf - eg; 2 victoria sandwiches or 2 casseroles.

Although you need to keep in mind the points 'To help the air circulate freely' with careful choice of dishes and tins, it is possible to cook a complete meal, and perhaps something else for the freezer, in the oven at the same time.

When roasting meats, you will notice that fat splashing is reduced, which is due in part to the lower oven temperatures, and will help keep cleaning of the oven to a minimum.

Because a fan oven has an even temperature throughout the oven, there is no need to follow the shelf positions given in the baking guide.

There is no need to interchange dishes onto different shelves part way through cooking, as with a conventional oven.

To help the air circulate freely

Position the shelves evenly within the oven and maintain a clearance from the oven roof and base.

If more than one cooking dish or baking tray is to be used on a shelf, leave a gap of at least 25mm between the items themselves and the oven interior.

Defrosting and cooling in the main oven

Cookology CDO900BK - Defrosting and cooling in the main oven - 1

To defrost frozen foods, turn the main oven control to the defrost position, place the food in the centre of the oven and close the door.

To cool foods after cooking prior to refrigerating or freezing, turn the main oven control to the defrost position and open the door.

Defrosting times

Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or meat - eg; fish filets, prawns & mince will take approximately 1 - 2 hours.

Placing the food in a single layer will reduce the thawing time.

A medium sized casserole or stew will take approximately 3 - 4 hours.

A 1½kg/3lb oven ready chicken will take approximately 5 hours, remove the giblets as soon as possible.

Be safe

Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this method.

Do not defrost larger joints of meat and poultry over 2kg/4lb using this method.

Never place uncooked food for defrosting next to cooked food which is to be cooled, as this can lead to cross contamination.

Defrosting meat, poultry, and fish can be accelerated using this method but make sure they are completely thawed before cooking thoroughly. Place meat and poultry on a trivet in a meat tin.

MAIN OVEN BAKING GUIDE

Cooking times & temperatures

The temperature settings and times given in the baking guide are based on dishes made with block margarine. If soft tub margarine is used it may be necessary to reduce the temperature setting.

Allow enough space between shelves for food that will rise during cooking.

Do not place items on the oven base as this will prevent air circulating freely.

USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC

Note: This is a high efficiency oven, therefore some adjustment will have to be made to conventional cooking temperatures. The table below shows conventional cooking temperatures, 'A' efficiency temperatures and gas marks. For optimum results,

conventional temperatures need to be converted to 'A' efficiency temperatures.

For example, an item which would normally cook at a conventional temperature of 180 °C, will now cook at the 'A' efficiency temperature of 160°C.

Traditional fruit cakes

It should be remembered that ovens can vary over time, therefore cooking times can vary, making it difficult to be precise when baking fruit cakes.

It is necessary therefore, to test the cake before removal from the oven. Use a fine warmed skewer inserted into the centre of the cake. If the skewer comes out clean, then the cake is cooked.

  • Follow the temperatures suggested in the recipe and then adjust accordingly to the conversion table.
  • Do not attempt to make Christmas cakes larger than the oven can cope with, you should allow at least 25mm (1") space between the oven walls and the tin.
  • Always follow the temperatures recommended in the recipe.
  • To protect a very rich fruit cake during cooking, tie 2 layers of brown paper around the tin.
  • We recommend that the cake tin is not stood on layers of brown paper, as this can hinder effective circulation of air.
  • Do not use soft tub margarine for rich fruit cakes, unless specified in the recipe.
  • Always use the correct size and shape of tin for the recipe quantities.

Roast turkey

Roasting turkey involves cooking two different types of meat - the delicate light breast meat, which must not be allowed to dry out, and the darker leg meat, which takes longer to cook.

The turkey must be roasted long enough for the legs to cook, so frequent bast-ing is necessary. The breast meat can be covered once browned.

  • Always make sure that the turkey is completely thawed and that the giblets are removed before cooking.
  • Turkey should be roasted at 160°C - 180°C (fanned) or 180°C - 200°C (conventional) for 20 minutes per 450g (1 lb), plus 20 minutes, unless packaging advises otherwise.
  • The turkey can be open roasted, breast side down, for half of the cook time, and then turned over for the remainder of the cooking time.
  • If the turkey is stuffed, add 5 minutes per 450g (1 lb) to the cooking time.
  • If roasting turkey covered with foil, add 5 minutes per 450g (1 lb) to the cooking time.

To test if the turkey is cooked, push a fine skewer into the thickest part of the thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey is cooked. If the juices are still pink, the turkey will need longer cooking.

Roasting guide

The times given in the roasting guide are only approximate, because the size and age of the bird will influence cooking times as will the shape of a joint and the proportion of the bone.

Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. For large joints it is advisable to thaw over night.

Frozen poultry should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. The time required depends on the size of the bird - eg; a large turkey may take up to 48 hours to thaw.

Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will reduce fat splashing and will help to keep the oven interior clean. Alternatively, to help reduce fat splashing, potatoes or other vegetables can be roasted around the meat/poultry.

Notes:

  • When cooking stuffed meat or poultry calculate the cooking time from the total weight of the meat plus the stuffing.
  • For joints cooked in foil or covered roasters, and for lidded casseroles, add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the calculated cooking time.
  • Smaller joints weighing less than 1.25kg (2½lb) may require 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) extra cooking time.
  • Position the oven shelf so that the meat or poultry is in the centre of the oven.
  • It is recommended that the appliance is cleaned after open roasting.

Glass

- Warning: Do not operate the appliance without the glass panel correctly fitted.

- For your safety, glass door panels are made of toughened glass. This ensures that, in the unlikely event that a panel breaks, it does so into small fragments to minimise the risk of injury. Please take care when handling, using or cleaning all glass panels, as any damage to the surfaces or edges may result in the glass breaking without warning or apparent cause at a later date. Should any glass panel be damaged, we strongly recommend that it is replaced immediately.

Shelf Runners

- Shelf runners can be removed to enable you to clean them thoroughly. Make sure they are cool to touch and then grasp the runners and slide out of their hanging holes.
