COOKING GUIDE
CONVECTION
Cooking with convection is the traditional and well known method of
cooking food in a traditional oven with hot air.
The heating element and the fan position is at the back-wall, so that the hot
air is circulating. This mode is supported by the top heating element.
Cookware for convection cooking:
All conventional ovenproof cookware, baking tins and sheets – anything you
would normally use in a traditional convection oven – can be used.
Food suitable for convection cooking:
All biscuits, individual scones, rolls and cakes should be made by this mode
as well as rich fruit cakes, choux pastry and soufflés.
MICRCONVECTION
This mode combines the microwave energy with the hot air and is therefore
reducing the cooking time while giving the food a brown and crispy surface.
Cooking with convection is the traditional and well known method of
cooking food in an oven with hot air circulated by a fan on the back-wall.

All kinds of meats and poultry as well as casseroles and gratin dishes,
sponge cakes and light fruit cakes, pies and crumbles, roast vegetables,
