Panasonic NE-C1275 operating instructions Using the Convection Function

Using the Convection Function

Type of Container to use

DO USE: Any container suitable for conventional ovens eg metal, ceramic, earthenware, enamelled cast iron etc.

DO NOT USE: Plastic containers, food films, wood/wicker, glass, paper.

Suitable Foods

Convection is suitable to bake cakes, bread, biscuits or pastries.

Reducing cooking temperature

The fan forces hot air over the food thus heating food very efficiently. To avoid over-cooking and drying of the surface it is recommended that normal cooking temperatures are reduced by 10-20˚C. Cooking times by convection are also usually shorter compared to conventional ovens.

Two level cooking

Do not attempt to use the Wire Rack Shelf to cook on two levels.

Positioning food

Convection ovens rely on good circulation of air. For best results ensure food/containers are placed in the centre of the Wire Rack Shelf and avoid the container touching back wall or covering venting holes.

To allow good circulation of hot air, the maximum sized dish used should be no greater than Width: 12ins (30cms)

Depth: 4ins (10cms)

Diameter: 11ins (28cms)

Preheating

For best results, always place food into a preheated oven.

See page 26.

Hot surfaces

Take care when removing dishes from the oven after cooking as the Wire Rack and surfaces will be hot.

All foods should be placed on the Lower Shelf Position
