							semi-automatic cooking
There are two types of semi automatic 
cooking available on this appliance.
The oven must be switched on, and in use 
to use either of these functions success-
fully.
The Duration method allows you to set the 
oven	for	a	specific	length	of	time.	If	a	dish	
needed 2 hours to cook, then it would be 
possible for you to set the oven to turn off 
2 hours later. This allows you to be sure 
that your food will be cooked for a set 
length of time and no longer.
The End Time method allows you to enter 
a	specific	time	when	you	would	like	the	
oven to switch off. If you wish to leave the 
oven unattended, then it offers peace of 
mind that the oven will have turned itself 
off at the set time.
However, once the program is set then it 
cannot be adjusted. Extra time cannot be 
added, nor can the end time be extended.
To cancel the semi automatic programs, 
press both the Up and Down buttons 
together. This can be done at any time 
during the cooking process. Then if neces -
sary, re program. For the instructions on how to use both of 
these functions, please see the following 
page.
fully automatic cooking
This function incorporates both a duration 
and an end time and is meant to be used 
when you wish to delay the start time.
We	recommend	that	the	first	few	times	
this function is used you are in the house, 
this will familiarise you with your oven and 
prevents food from being over cooked or 
under cooked.
care must be taken when selecting foods 
for this function, it is not recommended 
for certain food items which may spoil, or 
are sensitive to being left.
It is also advisable to set the end time to 
be as close to your return as possible to 
prevent food being left standing.

This programming method is best suited 
for when a delayed start time is required. 
Unlike the semi automatic methods this 
requires both the duration and the end 
time to be entered. The timer will work 
out the start time and begin cooking.
•	 Press the function button twice to 
select the length of time your food 
will	need.	(7)
•	 The	‘A’	on	the	left	hand	side	will	flash

of	the	‘dur’	message.	(9)
•	 Press the function button three times 
until	the	‘A’	flashes	again	and	the	
‘End’	messages	appears.	(10)	&	(11)
•	 Using the Up and Down buttons, set 
the time you would like the oven to 
switch	off.	(12)
•	 Set the temperature of the oven and 
place the food inside.
While the automatic function is running, 
the ‘A’ will appear statically on the display, 
with the time.
Try to keep the end time as close to when 
you expect to return, this will prevent 
cooked food from being left standing in a 
warm oven.
The timer will calculate the appropriate 
start time.
To switch off the alarm, press any button.
