Operation
Your convection oven is very easy to use with two simple
controls. You can set the cooking temperature from defrost
to 250 Celsius and also the cooking timer from 0 to 60
minutes which is usually the most your food will need to
cook.
Temperature Control Timer
Choose the appropriate racks, trays and accessories and
place them into the glass bowl. You can cook from frozen
or use the defrost function. Fill the bowl and racks with the
cooking ingredients. Cover the bowl with the lid and
connect the mains to a power outlet. Set the temperature
control and timer as desired. You will find suggestions for
cooking temperatures and times in the cooking guide table.

will sound indicating the end of the cooking process. The
fan and the halogen lamp will automatically turn off.

Cooking guide
Instructions for roasting
• Place the roast on the lower grill rack. Add some water, but
only covering the bottom of the glass bowl.
• Turn the roast 1 or 2 times during cooking, basting it with
the gravy.
Instructions for grilling
• Use the grill racks as dual stands in order to place the
ingredients at different levels.
• Turn thick meat pieces after half of the cooking time has
elapsed.
• Can also use the steamer / air fryer accessory sited on
racks.
Instructions for steaming
Fill the bottom of the bowl with some water and tasty herbs
and spices for steaming vegetables or fish. Use the steamer /
air fryer accessory.
Instructions for baking
• You may place any heat resistant baking pan onto the
lower grill rack. Because of the air circulation the diameter

before the cake is done, so the top of the cake may slightly
dry up.
• Cakes and other cookies are baked a little bit faster than in
other common ovens.
• Place frozen pizza directly on the upper grill rack or in the
baking tray.
Instructions for toasting
• You may toast bread and snacks without preheating the
oven.
• Place the bakery products on one of the grill racks.
• Slightly moisten bread rolls that are from the previous day.
This way they will crisp up nicely.
• You may also warm up older snacks such as crackers, chips
or cookies. Bake them at maximum heat for a few minutes
only, so they will become crispy again.
Instructions for defrosting
• The convection oven provides for a more evenly defrosting
process than a microwave.
• Set the temperature control to DEFROST. Check the food
every 5 to 10 minutes.
• In order to cook frozen food, lower the specified
temperature by 20°C. The cooking time in the convection
oven is also 0 - 50 % shorter (e.g. 10 to 15 minutes instead
of 20 minutes).

Instructions for reheating
Use lower temperatures when reheating in order not to burn
your food. Check the food every 5 to 10 minutes.
Note: These time specifications are for reference only and
may vary depending on the circumstances.
Cooking Hints:
Brush meat with oil before seasoning.
When using both grill racks, change the food after half of the
cooking time has elapsed if the upper food gets crispy faster.
