Using your convection oven
About Convection Cooking
Convection cooking combines hot air movement by means of a
fan with the regular features(broil, bake and toast).Convection
cooking provides faster cooking in many cases than regular radi-
ant types electric oven. The fan gently sends air to every area of
the food, quickly browning, crisping and sealing in moisture and
flavor. It produces more even temperature all around the food by
air movement, so that food cooks/bakes/broils evenly versus
the normal ovens hot and cold spots. The convection feature al-
lows cooking/baking at lower temperatures, which saves energy
and helps keep the kitchen cooler. Convection air is superheated
and it circulates around the food so it cooks food significantly
faster than conventional ovens.
Using your convection oven
Please familiarize yourself with the following oven functions and
accessories prior to first use:
• Temperature Control(H): choose the desired temperature
from 100°C to 230°C for baking broiling or toasting.

of the control, turn to the right (clockwise) to toast or use as
a timer. This function also has a bell rings at the end of the
programmed time.
• Convection fan: The convection fan works automatically on

chosen, set the timer at the desired position. The convection
fan will start operating.

WARNING: TO AVOID RISK OF INJURY OR BURNS,DO NOT TOUCH
HOT SURFACES WHEN OVEN IS IN USE.ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS.
CAUTION: Always use extreme care when removing bake tray,
wire rack or a any hot container from a hot oven. Always use
the rack handle, or an oven mitt when removing hot items from
the oven.
Roasting In Your Oven
Roast your favorite cut of meat to perfection. The oven can cook
up to an 8-lb.chicken or turkey and up to a 6-lb. roast. A guide
has been provided to assist you with roasting times. However,
we suggest that you periodically check the cooking progress with
a meat thermometer. For best results we recommend that you
preheat the oven for 15 minutes on 230°C. We do not recom-
mend the use of oven roasting bags or glass containers in the
oven. Never use plastic cardboard, paper or anything similar in
the oven.
Operation
• Place the wire rack in the oven at the lowest position.
• Place food to be cooked in any roasting pan. If you wish to
use the bake tray (broil/drip pan), then you do not need to
insert the wire rack because the bake tray supports itself on
the oven support guides.
• Set the temperature control knob to the desired tempera-
ture.
• Turn the time control to the
“ON” position.
• To check or remove roast, use the tray handle provided to
help you slide the roast in and out.
• When cooking is complete, turn the time control knob to the
“OFF” position.
