USING YOUR APPLIANCE:
Safety handle: The convection oven will not work unless the Safety
Handle is fully clicked into the down position. If you need to remove the
Lid during the cooking process, lifting the Safety Handle will stop the
heater and the turbo fan while you attend to the dish. Simply replace the
lid and place the Safety Handle in the down position to resume cooking.
Thermostat: Sets the cooking temperature from 65oC to 250oC
Timer: The timer dial is marked in minutes and has a reminder bell,
which sounds when the cooking time is completed.
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 150oC 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 and place food in the centre of the rack
to receive best air circulation. Allow 1cm space between food and
Bowl.
3. Cover the Bowl with the Lid, be sure it is sealed correctly
4. Plug the Cord into wall outlet
5. Turn the Thermostat to temperature desired
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 convection oven will automatically shut off when cooking time
has been reached

8. When roasting, line bottom of the Bowl with 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, set the thermostat 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 before cooking.
Convection oven cooking
Using circulating air, the convection oven cooks food quickly, efficiently
and uses much less energy than conventional cooking methods. Another
benefit 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 effects of this is that surface of meat etc. is quickly sealed so it
retains much of the succulence of original flavour 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.

Cakes
pre-heat the oven to 220-230oc for 3 minutes. When selecting an
appropriate cake tin to use, be sure that it will fit 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 else where, deduct 10oc
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
you may use your own special frying pan (but make sure the frying pan
is allowed to be used in the ovens like this!) And place it on the low rack.
Don’t forget to lightly grease the pan you are going to use first. The best
temperature for biscuits and pastries is 220 -230oc. Cooking times
vary but is generally 12-15 minutes for biscuits.
Pies
pre-cooked (unfrozen) pies could not be easier. Place on high rack
and cook for 8-12 minutes at 220oc. 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 a start, there is no boiling involved! Simply place up to 6 eggs into
the pan and put the pan on the high rack.
Set the temperature to 200oc set the timer to 6 minutes for soft-boiled
or 10 minutes for hard-boiled. Always use the tongs to carefully remove
the eggs after cooking.
Bread rolls
to reheat fresh bread rolls, wrap each roll with foil, place on the low
rack and heat at 200oc 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 180oc.
Cooking with the extension ring
if you need to cook something of a larger size, for example: whole
chicken, turkey, stuffed turkey, mean you can put the extension ring on
the top of the bowl. Then extension ring makes the bowl bigger, it gives
an extra volume you need for cooking. Now all the ingredients you
would like to cook will fit into the bowl with the extension ring perfectly
well. You can cook several dishes at one and the same time!

Frozen food
large items like meat joints or poultry cannot be cooked from frozen
and must be thawed thoroughly first, 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 efficient convectional oven.
Grilling
as with toasting, items to be grilled should be placed on the high
rack and should be between 220-240oc. 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.
Baking and steaming
the temperature for cooking of uncovered dishes is usually 20 to
40oC 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
first for this reason, a bunt cake pan or tube pan is better to use than the
larger layered cake pans.

Brownies 150 18-20
Buns 200 10-12
Cakes, layer 150 18-20
Cakes, loaf 150 30-35

With filling (two crusts) 180 35-40
Breads, rolls 180 12-15

Grilling and broiling
for broiling or grilling with a convection oven, the temperature should
be set between 220-250oc. 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 should
be used. Add hickory liquid smoke or mesquite to get a smoky flavour.
Any seasoning should be applied to the surface of the meat.
If the fish or meat is lean, spray the rack or grill with non-stick vegetable
oil, or brush with cooking oil prior to arranging the fish/ 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
line the bottom of the bowl with aluminium foil (leaving an inch of rim)
will catch drippings if desired. To let hot air freely circulate, use low rack.
The 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 given here, or
follow the chart given for the conventional or regular ovens and subtract
25oC.
Roast whole chicken
rinse chicken thoroughly and add desired seasoning. Spices such as
garlic, black pepper and salt are suggested. Before roasting, allow
seasoning to penetrate for a few hours. Base of the bowl can be lined
with aluminium foil to catch drippings. Roast for approximately
30 minutes per 1kg at 200oc.
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 25oc 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.
