HOW YOUR OVEN WORKS

Microwaves are energy waves, similar to those used for TV and radio signals.

Electrical energy is converted into microwave energy, which is directed into the oven cavity via a waveguide. To prevent food and grease entering the wave guide it is protected by the waveguide cover.

Microwaves cannot pass through metal, because of this the oven cavity is made of metal and there is a fine metal mesh on the door. During cooking the microwaves bounce off the sides of the oven cavity at random.

Microwaves will pass through certain materials, such as glass and plastic, to heat the food. (See ‘Suitable Cookware’ on page 32).

Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves which cause them to vibrate. This creates heat by friction, in the same way your hands get warm when you rub them together.

The outer areas of the food are heated by the microwave energy, then the heat moves to the centre by conduction, as it does in conventional cooking. It is important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even heating.

Once cooking is complete, the oven automatically stops producing microwaves.

Standing time is necessary after cooking, as it enables the heat to disperse equally throughout the food.

BEFORE OPERATION

Your oven-has an energy save mode.

1. Plug in the oven. Nothing will appear on the display at this time.

2. Open the door. The oven lamp will light while the door is open. The display will flash the message shown.

3. Close the door. The display will show “ . 0”.

NOTES: If you do not operate the oven for 3

minutes or more (e.g. after closing the door, pressing the STOP/CLEAR key, or at the end of cooking), you will not be able to operate the oven until you open and close the oven door. Whilst in Energy Save Mode the display is blank.

When new, the very first time the grill

and convection are used, smoke and odour will be given off.

To avoid this happening when food is

being cooked, heat the oven without food for approx. 20 minutes.

(Please refer to “Heating without food”

on page 14.)

GRILL COOKING

The grill at the top of the oven cavity has one power setting only. The grill is assisted by the turntable which rotates simultaneously to ensure even browning. Use the racks for grilling small items of food such as bacon, gammon and teacakes, turn over halfway through grilling. Food can be placed either directly onto the racks, or into a flan dish/heat-resistant plate on the racks.

NOTES:

• It is not necessary to preheat the grill before cooking.

• Follow the recommended grilling times and procedures in the charts on page 46 in the cookbook section.

• When browning foods in a deep container, place on the turntable or low rack.

• The square trays are not suitable for grill cooking.

• After cooking is complete and opening the door, the cooling fan will continue working for a short time to lower the temperature of the electrical and mechanical parts. The display may show “NOW COOLING”.

Example:

PREHEATING THE OVEN

Your oven can be preheated to a desired temperature prior to convection cooking.

NOTES:

• When the oven is preheating, the turntable should be in the oven.

• When the oven reaches the desired temperature, the audible signal will sound and the temperature will be displayed in ºC.

Do not press the STOP/CLEAR key after opening and closing the door, as this will cancel the Convection mode.

• The preheated temperature will be maintained for approximately 30 minutes. After this time, preheat will be cancelled.

• During preheating and convection cooking, you will hear the cooling fan cycling on and off. This is completely normal and will not affect the cooking.

• You can check the actual temperature during preheating by pressing the CONV. (ºC) key. The temperature will appear on the display. This will not affect the oven operation.

• If you prefer not to preheat the oven where recommended in the cookbook section, allow extra cooking time.

• Temperature measurements taken whilst the oven is in convection mode will differ from the displayed level. This will not affect the cooking results as long as the operation manual and cookbook section are followed correctly.

Example:

To preheat the oven to 180ºC.

1. Enter the temperature by pressing the CONV. (ºC) key 6 times.

2. Press the START key once to start

preheating.

3. When the oven reaches 180ºC, the audible signal

will sound and the oven will display 180ºC. Place food in the oven, enter the desired cooking time and press the START key.

WARNING:

The door, outer cabinet, oven cavity, accessories and dishes will become very hot during operation. To prevent burns, always use thick oven gloves.

CONVECTION COOKING

The temperatures available in ºC are:

250ºC, 230ºC, 220ºC, 200ºC, 190ºC,

180ºC, 160ºC, 130ºC, 100ºC, 40ºC.

Convection cooking is ideal for cooking cakes, buns, biscuits, scones and for proving bread at 40˚C.

To achieve the best results when cooking by CONVECTION:

• Use the lower shelf for one layer cooking unless food manufacturer’s instructions differ.

• Use the lower and upper shelves for two layer cooking.

• Rotate the square tray or the cookware on it 180 degrees after half the cooking time.

• The turntable should be in the oven when using the square trays.

• Although this product is a conventional convection oven, consideration has to be given to the smaller size and power of the product in comparison to a standard kitchen oven, so the final result may vary.

• When cooking chilled or frozen foods on CONVECTION mode, allowance must be given to heat loss after the preheat cycle due to the insertion of the food.

NOTES:

• When the oven is preheating, the turntable should be in the oven.

• When using the CONV. (ºC) key, all metal cookware can be used. (See ‘Suitable Cookware’ on page 32).

• Follow convection times and procedures in the charts and recipes in the cookbook section.

• Food manufacturers instructions are only a guideline, so cooking times may need to be adjusted.

• Pressing the CONV. (ºC) key during cooking will display the programmed temperature. This will not affect the programme or cooking time.

• Always check the food is piping hot before consuming.

• Heat generated by the oven during convection cooking may cause the backplate of the oven to discolour. This is completely normal and will not affect the performance of the oven.

Example:

To cook for 20 minutes at 200ºC convection.

1. Enter the cooking time by pressing the 10 MIN. key twice.

2. Input the temperature by pressing the CONV. (ºC) key 4 times.

3. Press the START key once to start cooking.

The display will count down

through the cooking time.
