MICROWAVEDEFROSTING

To defrost foods not included in the Auto Defrost menu, use microwave power levels MEDIUM LOW (30%) or LOW (10% ). Stir or turn food at least 2-3 times during defrosting. After defrosting, wrap in aluminium foil and leave to stand until thoroughly defrosted. Refer to the defrosting charts in the Cookery Book, page 32.

CONVECTION COOKING

Your oven can be programmed to cook with ten different temperatures by combining the top and bottom grills with the convection fan.

NOTES:

The temperatures available in degrees Centigrade are:

250°C, 230°C, 220°C, 200°C, 180°C, 160°C, 130°C, 100°C, 70°C, 40°C.

•CONVECTION cooking is ideal for cooking Victoria sandwich cakes, buns, biscuits and scones. See recipes pages 54-57.

•When using the CONVECTION facility, all metal cookware can be used. See SUITABLE COOKWARE pages 26-27. To achieve the best results when cooking by CONVECTION, always use the low metal rack for one layer cooking, and the high rack and low rack for two layer cooking.

•Temperature measurements taken whilst the oven is in convection mode will differ slightly from the displayed level. This is due to the grill elements turning on and off in order to regulate the oven temperature. This will not affect the cooking results as long as the operation manual and cook book are followed properly.

NOTES:

•Once the oven has started you can find out the temperature you have programmed by pressing the CONVECTION TEMPERATURE key. The temperature will appear on the display. This will not affect the programme or cooking time.

•After cooking is complete the cooling fan will continue working for a short time to lower the temperature of the electrical and mechanical components.

•Recipes requiring a browned or crispy underside (ie; pies, pizza and bread), should be placed directly on the turntable.

•Small food items such as pastries or biscuits should be cooked on the low rack so as to avoid browning too quickly.

•Joints of meat/poultry should be cooked on the low rack with the splash guard fitted on top of the turntable.

•After cooking the display may show “NOW COOLING”.

WARNING:

The oven cavity, door, outer cabinet, air-vent openings, turntable, turntable support, splash guard, racks, dishes and especially bottom grill heater will become very hot, use thick oven gloves when removing the food or turntable from the oven to prevent burns.
