CONVECTION OVEN COOKING
Using circulating air, the convection oven cooks food quickly, eciently and uses
much less energy than conventional cooking methods. Another benet is reduced
clean up time. Because it can cook on more than one level, the convection oven
will cook dishes that would normally require numerous pots and pans to wash. In
fact, one of the many features of the convection oven is that it helps to clean itself!
The hot air method of cooking ensures an even distribution of heat around the
food. One of the eects of this is that surface of meat etc. is quickly sealed so it
retains much of the succulence of original avor that is often lost with the
conventional methods.
There are very few dishes that need fat to assist in the cooking process when
cooked in the convection oven. Less fat in cooking is always healthier.

APPLIANCE USE
IMPORTANT
Safety Handle:
The convection oven will not work unless the Safety Handle (3) is fully <<clicked>>
into the down position. If you need to remove the Lid (2) during the cooking
process, lifting the Safety Handle (3) will stop the heater and the turbo fan while
you attend to the dish. Simply replace the lid (2) and place the Safety Handle (3) in
the down position to resume cooking.
TIPS
•If possible pre-heat the oven for 3 minutes before using.
•Always place food on the rack to ensure good air circulation.
•Leave at least 1cm gap between items on the same rack.
Again this ensures good air circulation.
•When food is cooked it can be kept hot by turning the Thermostat (4) down to
300°F until ready to serve
Operating Convection Oven
1. Prepare the Bowl (1). While cooking the surface of the Bowl (1) will be
considerably hot, be sure to place the appliance on a heatproof surface.
2. Place the rack in the Bowl (1) and place food in the center of the rack to receive
best air circulation. Allow 1cm space between food and Bowl (1).
3. Cover the Bowl (1) with the Lid (2), be sure it is sealed correctly
4. Plug the Cord (6) into wall outlet.
5. Turn the Thermostat (4) to temperature desired
6. Set the Timer (5) using the reference table as a guide> Push Handle (3) back to
start. The red and green indicator lights will go on to indicate that cooking has
started.
7. The convection oven will automatically shut o when cooking time has been
reached
8. When roasting, line bottom of the Bow1 (1) will foil to catch dripping
(for easy clean up).
Thawing Food
The convection oven will thaw most foods. Simply place onto one of the wire Racks
(11,12), set the Thermostat (4) to THAW and allow approximately 40 minutes per
kg. Large items like meat joins should be turned at least once during the thawing
process. Any liquids or juices from thawed food should be thoroughly cleaned from
the Bowl 1) before cooking.
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. It is often the case that
cooking time is shorter in the convection oven it is more ecient convectional
oven.

Toasting
You can toast almost anything in the convection oven: bread, bagels, pizza, crum-
pets etc. For better results use the High Rack (12) and set temperature to 428-446 F
depending upon your preference. It is unlikely that the item you are toasting will
need to be turned over halfway through cooking. The hot circulation air will usually
toast both sides at once.
Grilling
As with toasting, items to be grilled should be placed on the High Rack (12) and
should be between 428-464 F. When deciding the best temperature setting to use,
consider the thickness of the food. A 3 cm thick steak would require a lower
temperature and longer cooking time than a 1 cm 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 coloring.
Baking and Steaming
The temperature for cooking of uncovered dishes is usually 68 to 104 F lower than
in the traditional oven. No pre-heating is necessary in convection oven when
baking. Ordinarily, the centre of a cake batter will be moist, while the section
closest to rim of the baking pan will be done rst. For this reason, a bunt cake pan
or tube pan is better to use than the larger layered cake pans.
SUGGESTED BAKING TIMES AND TEMPERATURES FOR CONVECTION ROASTER
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 convection oven, the temperature should be set
between 428-480°F. No pre-heating is necessary in convection oven when baking.
Food should be placed on the rack without covering. To bring the food closer to
source of the heating air, the High Rack (12) should be used. Add hickory liquid
smoke or mesquite to get a smoky avor. Any seasonings 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 minimize 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.
Roasting
Lining bottom of the Bowl (1) with aluminum foil (leaving an inch of rim) will catch
drippings if desired. To let hot air freely circulate, use low Rack (11). Te propelled
hot air cooks meat evenly and seals in the juice. Turning and basting is not
necessary. A meat thermometer is recommended. However, without one, go by the
time temperature table give here, or follow the chart given for the conventional or
regular ovens and subtract 77°F.
Roast Whole Chicken
Rinse chicken thoroughly and add desired seasonings. Spices such as garlic, black
pepper and salt are suggested. Before roasting, allow seasonings to penetrate for a
few hours. Base of the Bowl (1) can be lined with aluminum foil to catch drippings.
Roast for approximately 30 minutes per 1 kg at 390°F.
Whole Roasts
With Fatty portion facing upward put meat directly on low rack. Put seasoning to
your tastes. Insert meat thermometer. Temperature for roasting is usually 77°F less
than for regular or conventional roasting. Cooking time depends on typ and size of
roast
Cakes
Pre-heat the oven to 428-446°F for 3 minutes. When selecting an appropriate cake
tin to use, be sure that it will t comfortably in the Bowl (1). Always place the cake
tin on the Low Rack (11) - never directly onto the bottom of the Bowl (1). When
using the recipes from else where, deduct 50°F 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 (1)

Biscuits and Pastries
You may use your own special frying pan (make sure the frying pan is allowed to be
used in the ovens like this!) and place it on the Low Rack (11). Don’t forget to lightly
grease the pan you are going to use rst. The best temperature for biscuits and
pastries is 428-446°F. Cooking times various but is generally 12-15 minutes for
biscuits.
Pies
Pre-cooked (unfrozen) pies could not be easier. Place on High Rack (12) and cook
for 8-12 minutes at 428°F. Frozen or uncooked pies use the same position and
temperature, but increase the cooking time usually to 20-25 minutes. This can vary
depending on the size and content of the pie.
Eggs
Hard or soft-boiled eggs are unbelievably easy in the convection oven. For s start,
there is no boiling involved! Simply place up to 6 eggs into the pan and put the pan
on the High Rack (12). Set the temperature to 390°F set the Timer (5) to 6 minutes
for soft-boiled or 10 minutes for hard-boiled. Always use the Tongs (10) to carefully
remove the eggs after cooking.
Bread Rolls
To reheat fresh bread rolls, wrap each roll with foil, place on the Low Rack (11) and
heat at 390°F for 5-7 minutes. If the rolls are a few days old they can be
<<refreshed>> by brushing them with a little milk, placing them on the High Rack
(12) and heating for 6-9 minutes at 356°F.
COOKING WITH THE EXTENSION RING (13)
If you need to cook something of a larger size, for example: whole chicken, turkey,
stued turkey, mean you can put the Extension Ring (13) on the top of the Bowl (1).
Then extension Ring (13) makes the Bowl (1) Bigger, it gives an extra volume you
need for cooking. Now all the ingredients you would like to cook will t into the
Bowl (1) with the Extension Ring (13) perfectly well. You can cook several dishes at
one and the same time!
Note: Make sue you properly xed the Extension Ring (13)!
