oven capacity by using the supplied extender ring. You can
cook from frozen or use the defrost function. Fill the bowl
and racks with the cooking ingredients. Cover the bowl
with the lid and connect the mains to a power outlet. Set
the temperature control and timer as desired. You will find
suggestions for cooking temperatures and times in the
cooking guide table.
Note: The thermostat keeps the desired temperature until
the pre-set time has elapsed. The control lamp with its
halogen bulb indicates the heating process, it is normal for
the halogen light to turn on and off automatically in order
to control the target temperature.

If it becomes necessary to open the bowl during cooking,
for example to turn the food over, it is imperative to

Instructions for roasting

•

Place the roast on the lower grill rack. Add some water, but
only covering the bottom of the glass bowl.

•

Turn the roast 1 or 2 times during cooking, basting it with
the gravy.

Instructions for grilling

•

Use the grill racks as dual stands in order to place the
ingredients at different levels.

•

Turn thick meat pieces after half of the cooking time has
elapsed.

•

Can also use the steamer / air fryer accessory sited on
racks.

Instructions for steaming

Fill the bottom of the bowl with some water and tasty herbs
and spices for steaming vegetables or fish. Use the steamer /
air fryer accessory.

Instructions for baking

•

You may place any heat resistant baking pan onto the
lower grill rack. Because of the air circulation the diameter
should be of maximum 26 cm or 40 cm if extender ring is
used.

•

If you want to bake a very juicy cake without a crust, attach
aluminium foil over the baking pan. Remove the foil shortly
before the cake is done, so the top of the cake may slightly
dry up.

14

•

Cakes and other cookies are baked a little bit faster than in
other common ovens.

•

Place frozen pizza directly on the upper grill rack or in the
baking tray.

Instructions for toasting

•

You may toast bread and snacks without preheating the
oven.

•

Place the bakery products on one of the grill racks.

•

Slightly moisten bread rolls that are from the previous day.
This way they will crisp up nicely.

•

You may also warm up older snacks such as crackers, chips
or cookies. Bake them at maximum heat for a few minutes
only, so they will become crispy again.

Instructions for defrosting

•

The convection oven provides for a more evenly defrosting
process than a microwave.

•

Set the temperature control to 65-70⁰C (defrost). Check the
food every 5 to 10 minutes. Allow approximately 40
minutes per kg. Large items like meat joins should be
turned at least once during the defrosting process. Any
liquids or juices from thawed food should be thoroughly
cleaned from the bowl before cooking.

•

In order to cook frozen food, lower the specified
temperature by 20°C. The cooking time in the convection
oven is also 30 - 50 % shorter (e.g. 10 to 15 minutes instead
of 20 minutes).

15

Instructions for reheating

Use lower temperatures when reheating in order not to burn
your food. Check the food every 5 to 10 minutes.

Note: These time specifications are for reference only and
may vary depending on the circumstances.

Grilling and Broiling

For broiling or grilling with a convection oven, the
temperature should be set between 220-250 ℃. 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 liquid smoke to water in the bowl if you like a
smoky flavors. Any other seasonings 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

Lining only the bottom of the Bowl with aluminum foil
(leaving an inch of rim) will catch drippings if desired. To let
hot air freely circulate, use low Rack. Hot air cooks meat
evenly and seals in the juice. Turning and basting is not
necessary.

16

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 25℃.

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 can be lined with aluminum foil to catch
drippings. Roast for approximately 30 minutes per 1 kg at
200℃.

Use extension ring if the chicken is large but make sure you
increase the cooking time and turn the chicken regularly.

Cooking Hints:

Cooking Hints:Cooking Hints:

Cooking Hints: Brush meat with oil before seasoning. When
using both grill racks, change the food after half of the cooking
time has elapsed if the upper food gets crispy faster.

17

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 25℃ less
than for regular or conventional roasting. Cooking time
depends on type and size of roast

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 200 ℃. Set the Timer
(A/C) to 6 minutes for soft-boiled or 10 minutes for hard­boiled. 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 200 ℃ 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 and
heating for 6-9 minutes at 180 ℃.

18

Pies

Pre-cooked (unfrozen) pies could not be easier. Place on
High Rack and cook for 8-12 minutes at 220℃. 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.

Baking and Steaming

•

The temperature for cooking of uncovered dishes is usually
20 ~ 30 ℃ lower than in the traditional oven. No pre­heating 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.

•

No pre-heating is necessary in convection oven when
baking.

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 elsewhere, deduct 20℃
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.
