USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Thermostat:
Sets the cooking temperature from 125°C to
250°C.
Timer:
The timer dial is marked in minutes and has a
reminder bell, which sounds when the cooking
time is completed.
When setting the manual timer, always turn
the timer past the time you wish to set, before
turning the timer back to the correct time.
Operating your appliance for the rst time:
When you are ready to use the appliance,
be sure that the timer controls are in the “o”
position and unplugged. We recommend a trial
run to familiarise yourself with your appliance
and to eliminate any problem substances or oil
that may have been used for packaging and
shipping.
1. Plug the cord into a 220-240 volt AC
outlet.
2. Set the timer control to 10 minutes and
set the temperature control to Thaw/
Wash.
3. A small amount of smoke and odour may
be detected. This is normal.
4. To avoid scratching, marring,
discolouration or re hazard, do not store
anything on top of the oven, especially
during operation.
TIP: You can line the bottom of the bowl with
aluminium foil to catch any fat. This will make
clean-up easier.
Thawing Food:
The thaw/wash setting allows you to thaw out
most foods. The ‘wash’ reminds you to clean
any liquids from the bowl after thawing before
cooking.
The convection oven will thaw most foods.
Simply place onto one of the wire racks, set the
thermostat to thaw and allow approximately 40
minutes per kg.
Large items like meat joints should be turned at
least once during the thawing process.
Note: Any liquids or juices from thawed food
should be thoroughly cleaned from the bowl
before cooking.
Operating your appliance:
1. Prepare the bowl. While cooking the
surface of the bowl will be considerably
hot, be sure to place the appliance on a
heatproof surface.
2. Place the rack in the bowl and place food
in the centre of the rack to receive best air
circulation. Allow 1cm space between the
food and bowl.
3. Cover the bowl with the lid. Ensure it is
sealed correctly.
4. Plug the cord into wall outlet.
5. Turn the thermostat to the desired
temperature.
6. Set the timer using the reference table as
a guide. Push handle back to start. The
red and green indicator lights will go on to
indicate that cooking has started.
7. The halogen oven will automatically shut
o when cooking time has been reached.
Note: When using the timer may continue to
tick after the Halogen Oven has shut o and
nished cooking.
8. When roasting, line the bottom of the bowl
with foil to catch any drippings.

Roasting:
• Lining the bottom of the bowl with foil will
help to catch any drippings from the roast.
• Use a low rack to let hot air circulate freely.
• The propelled hot air of the halogen oven
cooks meat evenly and seals in any juices.
A meat thermometer is recommended.
• Without a meat thermometer, follow the
time temperature table included in the
booklet, or follow a chart given for a regular
oven and simply subtract 25°C.
Roast whole chicken:
• Rinse chicken thoroughly and add desired
seasoning.
• Spices such as garlic, black pepper and
salt are recommended.
• Before roasting, allow seasoning to
penetrate for a few hours.
• The base of the bowl can be lined with
aluminium foil to catch drippings.
• Roast for approximately 30 minutes per
1kg at 200°C.
Whole roasts:
• With the fatty portion facing upward put
meat directly on low rack.
• Season to your taste. Insert meat
thermometer.
• Temperature for roasting is usually 25°C
less than for regular or conventional
roasting.
• Cooking time depends on type and size of
roast.
Note: the process of cooking and cooking
time may vary, depending on depth and size of
mixture or preparing dish.

Grilling and broiling:
• For broiling or grilling with a halogen oven,
the temperature should be set between
220-250°C.
• To bring the food closer to source of the
heating air, the high rack should be used.
• Add hickory liquid smoke or mesquite to
get a smoky avour.
• Any seasoning should be applied to the
surface of the meat.
• If the sh or meat is lean, spray the rack or
grill with non-stick vegetable oil, or brush
with cooking oil prior to arranging the sh/
meat on the grill.
• This will minimise food sticking to the grill.
• For browner or more seared surfaces,
broil on both sides as with thick stocks or
steaks.
• For thinner pieces, no turning is necessary.
• As with toasting, items to be grilled should
be placed on the high rack and should be
between 220-240°C. When deciding the
best temperature setting to use, consider
the thickness of the food.
• A 3cm thick steak would require a lower
temperature and longer cooking time than
a 1cm thick steak. Also remember that
frozen food like burgers need a longer
cooking time.
• You may wish to turn the food halfway
through the grilling process to ensure even
colouring.
Pies:
• For pre-cooked chilled pies, simple place
on a high rack for 8 - 12 minutes at 220°C.
• For frozen/uncooked pies, use the same
position and temperature and increase the
temperature, depending on the size and
content of the pie.
Bread rolls:
• To reheat fresh bread rolls, wrap each roll
with foil, place on the low rack and heat at
200°C for 5-7 minutes.
• If the rolls are a few days old they can be
brushed with a little milk, placing them on
the high rack and heating for 6-9 minutes
at 180°C.
Frozen food:
• Large items like meat joints or poultry
cannot be cooked from frozen and must
be thawed thoroughly rst, however, some
foods cook best from frozen.
• Simply follow the cooking instructions on
the packaging as a guideline.
• Due to the ecient nature of the halogen
oven, the cooking time for frozen products
is often shorter than that of a conventional
oven.
Baking:
• The temperature for the cooking of
uncovered dishes is usually 20 to 40°C
lower than in the traditional oven.
• No pre-heating is necessary in the halogen
oven when baking. Often, the centre of the
cake batter will take longer to cook than
the section closest to the rim.
• A bunt cake pan or tube pan is
recommended for use, rather than a larger
layered cake pan.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT TEAM: [phone]
Cakes:
• Pre-heat the oven to 220-230°C for 3
minutes.
• When selecting an appropriate cake tin to
use, be sure that it will t comfortably in the
bowl. Always place the cake tin on the low
rack-never directly onto the bottom of the
bowl.
• When using the recipes from elsewhere,
deduct 10°C from the recommended
cooking temperature.
• Cooking time depends entirely upon the
size of cake you are making but it is easy to
monitor its progress with the see-through
glass bowl.
Biscuits and pastries:
• Take a suitable pan and lightly grease it.
• Place it on the low rack.
• The best temperature for biscuits and
pastries is 220 - 230°C.
• Cooking times will vary depending on the
chosen recipe; the approx. time is generally
12 -15 minutes.
