OPERATING THE CONVECTION OVEN
•
Place the rack in the glass bowl and then put the food on the center of the rack. Allow 75mm space
between food and the top of the oven. With the space provided around all sides and under the rack,
food cooks uniformly and does not sit in its own juices.
•
Place the lid on the glass bowl securely.
•
To cook properly the top unit (which propels the heated air) must be set on the base tightly. This
conserves the heat and provides for correct convection airflow.
•
Plug into the electrical socket.
•
Never turn on the power to the oven until you have made sure the lid has been placed securely on
the glass bowl.
•
Put down the handle (WHEN THE HANDLE IS IN THE “UP” POSITION THE COOKER WILL BE
TURNED OFF). When the handle is in the “down” position the cooker is ready for use.
•
Turn the timer on to the expected cooking time. When you set the timer the power light (AMBER)
will be turned ON and the motor will start to turn on the fan to circulate the air.
•
Turn the temperature selector to the temperature you require (the GREEN light will appear) and
cooking will commence. When required temperature is reached, the GREEN light will go out. This
will cycle until the cooking time has been complete.
•
When cooking time is up, the power will be turned off automatically.
•
When the handle lifts up, power turns off. To turn on power, push down the handle.
•
Before unplugging the oven, make sure that the handle is in the upright (vertical) position.
•
Always make sure the oven is off before you remove the lid. After using the oven, make sure it is
unplugged. Allow it to cool before cleaning.
HOW TO USE THE LOW AND HIGH RACKS
All individual recipes with this booklet will indicate whether to use the HIGH or LOW RACK.
HOW TO BROIL
- Place the food directly on the wire rack (low or high rack)
- For very thick cuts of meat, turn the food at the halfway point
- Like roasting, broiling time may vary depending on cut, size, amount of fat, etc.
HOW TO STEAM
- You can steam vegetables at the same time you cook your main dish by placing the vegetables in
aluminium foil pouch: add a few drops of water and seal the pouch.
- You can also add a cup of water in the bottom pot (just a little bit of water), with savoury herbs and spices
to steam fish or vegetables.
HOW TO FRY
- You can get the effect of deep-fat French fries without all the oil by dipping potato strips in
polyunsaturated cooking oil. Allow the excess oil to drain away and cook according to cooking guide.
- To make delicious fried chicken, dip chicken pieces in batter and then in cooking oil. Drain the excess oil
and cook according to chart provided.
CAUTION:

Oven are very hot when in use. Never touch the glass surfaces of the oven while it is in operation. After
