Thank you for purchasing this Halogen Oven.
Halogen Oven uses technology that cooks using infrared waves from a halogen light source. It cooks up
to 60% faster than a conventional oven, pre-heats more quickly and roasts, bakes, defrosts and grills.
Unlike a microwave, food cooked in this oven is heated evenly without hot and cold spots and without
sogginess. It’s energy efficient consuming less than half of a conventional oven, cooks fat free, portable,
easy to use and has an easy cleaning function.

the timer has been set.

Cooking: Cooking time depends on the size, weight, type etc. of the food to be cooked. For example most meat comes with
recommended cooking times, but since halogen ovens cooks faster than conventional ovens, you may need to allow less time to cook
the food.
To ensure the food is cooked properly, use a cooking thermometer or pierce the food with a fork or skewer to check for signs of it being
uncooked. When cooking vegetables check for tenderness.
Remember: distribute food evenly in the convection oven to ensure an even flow of air all around the food.
Avoid stacking food in an attempt to cook more food, if air cannot circulate around the food you will only fully cook the top. Always
leave spaces for the air to travel .
Guidance: For some guidance we have provided a few recipes and cooking times on the next few pages.
Always check your food has cooked full before eating.
Hints & Tips: timings may vary according to the weight of the food and individual taste.
When you become familiar with the oven you be able to determine the best cooking times and temperatures to suit your personal
preference.
Cooking Food
7
Use the tongs to remove the cooking racks

Vegetables
Wash, peel and prepare the vegetables as normal, then wrap the
vegetables into a piece of foil and place on the low rack in the oven –if you
are cooking more then 1 type of vegetables ensure that there are 1cm gap
between parcels. Preheat the oven to 220°C and cook for around 10 –15
minutes.
Hint –The low and high rack can be used simultaneously to cook a variety
of vegetables, ensure that you put the slower cooking vegetables on the
higher rack and the faster cooking vegetables on the lower rack.
Eggs
Preheat the oven to 200°C and put between 1 and 6 eggs on the high rack
for between 4 –6 minutes. When the eggs are cooked to your preference
remove them with tongs.
Frozen Food
Larger foods like meat joints or poultry cannot be cooked from frozen and
must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Some foods can be cooked
from frozen and may actually cook better, simply follow the
manufacturer’s guidelines. However cooking times in the Halogen Oven
are often faster, therefore check and adjust accordingly.
Biscuits & Pastries
Put a baking tray with the mixture onto the high rack, preheat the oven to
between 220°C - 230°C and cook for approximately 12 -15 minutes.
Pies
For already cooked fresh pies preheat the oven to 200°C and using the low
rack, cook them for between 8 –12 minutes.
For frozen pies preheat the oven to 200°C and using the low rack, cook
them for between 20 –25 minutes.
Hint –If cooking smaller types of food, (small vegetables), or if steaming
fish it may be necessary to wrap them in foil and place them on top of the
high rack.
