GENERAL GUIDELINES AND WARNING
- Remember to distribute food evenly in the halogen cooker
to ensure an even flow of air all around the food.
-The first time you try a recipe, check the cooking process
through the tempered glass bowl as the cooking time of the
halogen cooker is shorter.
- Since it is practical to place food directly onto the wire rack,
you may want to spray it with a non-stick spray to avoid food
sticking to the rack.
- The halogen cooker is self-cleaning. Simply put 2” of water
in the bottom and set temperature dial to 'wash' (100) for
10-12 minutes.
- For a very dirty oven, add some detergent to the water and
wipe the stains if needed.

FEATURES
Multifunction:
Using a hot air circle and 65-250°C temperature
range, the convection oven has a lot of functions:
a. cook food in different ways, including baking, roasting,
grilling, toasting, broiling and BBQ .
b. defrost frozen foods quickly
c. drying and sterilizing
Lowering cholesterol:
Modern medical science has proved that high cholesterol
accounts for heart disease and blood vessel trouble. The hot
moving air circle in the convection oven will breakdown the fat
tissue and lower the cholesterol content.
Saving time and energy
Due to the efficiency of the hot moving air in the oven, the
cooking time and the consumed energy are reduced. Our
experiment shows that the convection oven saves electricity
up to 20% compared to ordinary ovens.
Preserving the food’s nutrition and the natural flavor. High
temperature and prolonged cooking time can destroy the
food’s nutrition and change its natural flavor. The temperature
and time control in the convection oven retains more of the
nutrients and flavours in the food.

IMPORTANT
1. When the halogen cooker is in use, the support base holding
the glass bowl will expanded with the heat and appear loose
around the bowl, this is normal, it will be restored when it has
cooled down.
2. Do not put the cooker lid directly onto the work surface after
cooking. Place it on a dish, bowl or heat-resistant base to avoid
heat damage to your work area.
3. The controls on the cooker lid should not be washed or
submerged in the water. Clean the lid with a clean soft damp
cloth.
4. The glass bowl can be washed once it is completely cooled
down. Do not add water or submerge in water whilst hot to
avoid the glass bowl breaking.
Using the cooker
1. Place the steel rack into the glass bowl, then add the food.
Note: there should be some space between the food and the
cooker lid to ensure the hot air can circulate around the food
efficiently. Note: Overloading the glass bowl with food can also
affect cooking times.
2. Plug in the cooker according to the power specification. Note:
the cooker should not be used plugged into an extension lead or
multi adapter.

ensure the power is disconnected until it is returned to the top of
the bowl.

How to Broil
- Place the food directly on the wire rack (low or high rack)
