USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Functionality
Convection oven cooking
Using circulating air, the convection oven cooks food quickly, efficiently and uses much less energy than conventional cooking methods. The convection oven can cook on more than one level, so dishes that normally require multiple pots and pans to wash will be simpler, and much easier to clean.
The hot air method of cooking ensures an even distribution of heat around the food. One of the effects of this is that the surface of food such as meat is quickly sealed, allowing it to retain the succulence of its original flavour.
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. Note: Any liquids or juices from thawed food should be thoroughly cleaned from the bowl before cooking.
Cooking with the extension ring
The extension ring is perfect when you need to cook something of a larger size, such as a whole chicken. Place the extension ring on the top of the bowl, to make the bowl bigger and give it the extra volume needed for cooking. When using the extension ring, it’s possible to cook several dishes at once.

Using your appliance - Safety handle
The convection oven will not work unless the safety handle is fully clicked into the down position. To do this press the safety button on the handle to lower into place. 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 65
o
C 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 down
to 150oC until ready to serve.

Operating your appliance for the rst time
When you are ready to use the appliance, be sure that the timer controls are in the “off” position and unplugged. We recommend a trial run to familiarise yourself with your appliance and to eliminate any problem substances or oil that may have been used for packaging and shipping.
Plug the cord into a 220-240 volt AC outlet. Set the timer control to 10 minutes and set the temperature control to 100
o
C.
A small amount of smoke and odour may be detected. This is normal. To avoid scratching, marring, discolouration or fire hazard, do not store anything on top of the oven, especially during operation.
Operating your appliance
1. Prepare the bowl. While cooking the surface of the bowl 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 the food and bowl.
3. Cover the bowl with the lid. Ensure it is sealed correctly.
4. Plug the cord into wall outlet.
5. Turn the thermostat to to the desired temperature.
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 the bottom of the bowl with foil to catch any drippings.

Cakes
Pre-heat the oven to 220-230
o
C 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 10
o
C 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
Take a suitable pan and lightly grease it.
Place it on the low rack.
The best temperature for biscuits and pastries is 220 - 230 C.
Cooking times will vary depending on the chosen recipe, the approx. time is generally 12 -15 minutes.
Pies
For pre-cooked chilled pies, simple place on a high rack for 8 - 12 minutes at 220C.
For frozen/uncooked pies, use the same position and temperature and increase the temperature, depending on the size and content of the pie.
Bread rolls
To reheat fresh bread rolls, wrap each roll with foil, place on the low rack and heat at 200
o
C 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 180
o
C.

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.
Due to the efficient nature of the convection oven, the cooking time for frozen products is often shorter than that of a conventional oven.
Grilling
As with toasting, items to be grilled should be placed on the high rack and should be between 220-240
o
C. 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
The temperature for the cooking of uncovered dishes is usually 20 to 40
o
C
lower than in the traditional oven.
No pre-heating is necessary in the convection oven when baking. Often, the centre of the cake batter will take longer to cook than the section closest to the rim.
Therefore a bunt cake pan or tube pan is recommended for use, rather than a larger layered cake pan.

Grilling and broiling
For broiling or grilling with a convection oven, the temperature should be set between 220-250
o
C.
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
Lining the bottom of the bowl with foil will help to catch any drippings from the roast.
Use a low rack to let hot air circulate freely.
The propelled hot air of the convection oven cooks meat evenly and seals in any juices. A meat thermometer is recommended.
Without a meat thermometer, follow the time temperature table included in the booklet, or follow a chart given for a regular oven and simply subtract 25
o
C.
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.
The base of the bowl can be lined with aluminium foil to catch drippings.
Roast for approximately 30 minutes per 1kg at 200
o
C.
Whole roasts
With the fatty portion facing upward put meat directly on low rack.
Put seasoning to your tastes. Insert meat thermometer.
Temperature for roasting is usually 25
o
C 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.
