BENEFITS OF YOUR CONVECTION OVEN
• WiththeConvectionOvenyoucanpreparedelicious,healthfulmealsinlessthanhalfthetimeoftraditionalmethods.What
makesthesesuperiorresultspossibleisourrevolutionaryapproachtocertaintime-honoredcookingmethods.
• Professionalcookshavelongknownthattheycouldimproveupontraditionalovencookingbyusingafantoacceleratethe
circulationoftheoven'shotair.
• TheOvenismadeofglass,notmetal,sothatyoucanclearlyseewhatyouarecookingfromallsides.
• TheOvencombinesacircularbowlwithafanmountedinthelidsothathotaircurrentsmovedownoverthefood,around
thebowl’ssidesandthenbackuptothefan.Thiscreatesatornado-likeowofconstantlymoving,super-heatedairthat
cooksandbrownsfoodquicklyandthoroughly.
• Considertheseotherbenets:
• Meatandpoultryturnoutbrownandcrisponallsides,moistandjuicyontheinside.
• Slicedpotatoescanbe“air-fried”withasmallamountofoilandwillturnoutcrispandgoldenbrown.
• Breadsandpastriesrisehigherandturnoutuferandmoisterthaninastandardoven.
• TheConvectionOventhawsfrozenfoodsquickly.
• Youcansaveupto30percentoftheenergyconsumedbyastandardoven.
• TheConvectionOvenroasts-broils-bakes-steamsfoodperfectly.

LEVEL.
• Addonesqueezeofmilddishwashingdetergent.
• Replacelidonthebowlandplugtheconvectionovenin.
• Settimeto10minutes.
• Turnthetemperaturecontroldialtotheself-cleaningposition(“САМООЧИСТКА”).Theunitwillheatupfor1-2minutesand
thenswirlthewateraroundtocleanthebowl.
• Aftercycleiscompleted,rinseinwarmwatertoremoveallsoapresidue.
DISHWASHER-SAFEGLASSBOWL
• Theglassbowlandwireracksmayalsobewashedinthedishwasher.
• However,neverwashthelidinadishwasherorimmerseitinliquid.Removetheglassbowlfromitsstandbefore

HELPFUL HINTS
COOKINGTIPS
TOUSEYOUREASYCOOKOVENTOITSFULLESTPOTENTIAL,HEREAREAFEWCOOKINGTIPSTOREMEMBER:
• WHENEVERPOSSIBLEPLACEFOODDIRECTLYONTHEWIRERACK
• Cookingonawirerackallowsthehotairtocirculatefreelyaroundthefood,cookingitquicklyandevenlywithoutturning.
• PLACINGFOODSFOROPTIMUMCOOKING
• Whenplacingseveralpiecesoffoodonthewirerack,besuretoleaveatleast½inch(1.3cm)betweenthefoodandthe
sideoftheglassbowl.Thisspaceallowstheairtoowfreelythroughtheconvectionoven.Alsoavoidstackingfoodonfood
inordertocookmoreatonetime.Thehotairmustcirculatefreelyinordertocookthefoodproperly.
• KEEPINGFOODCRISP
• Afterthefoodiscooked,resetthetemperaturecontrolto“Thaw»andthefanspeedto«Low».Thiswillkeepthefoodhot
andcrisptemporarilyuntilyouarereadytoserve.
• TOMAKEYOURCLEAN-UPEVENEASIER
• Beforecooking,spraytheoven,includingtheracksandpans,withanon-stickproductrst.Wipingawaythegreaseand
residueaftercookingwillbeeveneasier.
• ADAPTINGRECIPES
Asaruleofthumb,whenusingrecipesintendedforovens,temperatureswillremainthesamebutcookingtimeswillbeless.
Afterashorttimeyouwilleasilybeabletoadaptyourfavoriterecipesforyourconvectionoven.
IMPORTANT! REMEMBER TO USE THE PREHEAT CYCLE!
• COOKINGTIME
Thecookingtimesintherecipesinthisbookshouldbeusedasaguide.Youneedtojudgewhetherthefoodyouarecooking
weighsmoreorlessthanthatwhichisusedintherecipeandslightlyadjustyourcookingtime.Also,you’llwanttoadjust
fordegreeofcrispnessdesired.Whenworkingwiththeconvectionoven,wesuggestusingameatthermometer.Watchthe
cookingprogressthroughtheglassbowl.


SELECTINGYOURFOOD
MEAT
• BeefSelectrich,red,ne-texturedmeatwithalightcoveringoffat(havingamarbledappearance).Buywholepiecesand
cuttosuit-youcanreallysavealot.
• LambSelectleanmeat.Meatshouldbesoft,pinkish-redandnetextured.
• PorkSelectleanmeat.Meatshouldbelightpinkincolor,netexturedandfreshsmelling.

FISH
• WholeSelectonlyfreshshwithfull,cleareyesandbrightgills-asuresignoffreshness.Also,scalesshouldbebrightand
clean-notslimyFishshouldlookandsmellfreshfromthesea.Fleshshouldbermandspringbackwhentouched.
• FilletsSelectonlyrmlletswithoutdiscolorationthathaveapleasantseasmell.Filletsmustnotbedull,softoroozewater
whentouched.
POULTRY
• Selectonlyfreshmeatorbirds.Poultryshouldlookandsmellfresh.
VEGETABLES/FRUIT
• Selectrm,almostripefruit;checkforbruisesandblemishes–colorshouldbeclearandbright.Vegetablesshouldbecrisp
andofgoodcolor.Trytoavoidvegetablessoldtightlypackedinplasticwrap–theywillsweatandquicklyspoil.Neveruse
notfreshvegetables.
FOODPREPARATION
• Carefulpreparationpaysoffinanappetizing,healthfulandtastymeal.Alwaysremoveexcessfatandtrimmeats.Cleanand
trimvegetablesandgarnishes,removingallbruisesandblemishes.Useonlythefreshestmeatsandvegetables.
• Alwaysensurethatallpartsofamealarecookedattherighttime.Thisusuallyrequiresdifferentstartingtimesthatmust
beplannedthoroughly
FOODPRESENTATION
Tryafewoftheseinterestingwaystoperkupyourtableandmakeanymealafestiveoccasion:
• Sliceafreshlybakedloafofbreadordinnerrollsintoabasketlinedwithcolorfulnapkins.Servewithbutterormargarine,
softenedandmixedwithgratedcheese,garlicsaltoryourfavoriteseasoning.
• Maincoursemeatsaremoreattractivewhendisplayedonalargeplattersurroundedbyfreshparsleysprigs,carrotcurls
(madewithapotatopeeler)andradishroses.
• Servesaucesinaprettypieceofchinaorglassware.Dropinaladleandbringtothetableonaplateforeasierpassing
betweenguests.
• Flowersonthetablearealwayseffective,butinapinchuseagroupingofyourfavoritegurinesorhouseplants.
• Candlesmakedinnerscozy,soturndownthelightsandturnupthecharm.Floatsmall,atcandlesinalarge,clearbowl
lledwithwater.Theeffectismagical.
