Convection oven cooking
Convection cooking is the preferred method of cooking by many chefs. The oven contains a built-in
fan that circulates heated air around the food that is cooking. This heated airflow continually surrounds
the food, which helps to brown and seal in the juices of meats. Food is cooked more evenly in less time
than in conventional ovens. This function is ideal for cooking great savory pies, all type of meat-based
dishes, roast potatoes and cakes in general. It is also suitable for simultaneous cooking on two different
levels.
Defrosting
You can quickly thaw an assortment of food in your convection oven by using the convenient DEFROST
function.
Turn the function selector knob A to position and the knob B to .Turn the temperature
control knob to a low temperature. Turn the timer control knob to the desired time.
NOTE:
Food that has been defrosted should not be left at a warm temperature for long periods of time
due to growth of harmful bacteria that can spoil food. Cook food immediately following defrosting. If
defrosting large quantities of food at a time, defrost in refrigerator and NOT in your convection oven.
Keep food warm
Place the food directly on the wire rack in the bottom rack support guide. This function is used to keep
the food warm until serving. The food should not be left in the oven too long (not more than 20-30
minutes), as it may become too dry (to avoid this, cover the pan with tinfoil or baking paper).
