To achieve the best results when cooking by

CONVECTION:

•Use the lower shelf for one layer cooking unless food manufacturer’s instructions differ.

•Use the lower and upper shelves for two layer cooking.

•Rotate the cookware 180 degrees after half the cooking time.

•Where possible, place food in its container directly onto the shelf.

•The turntable should be in the oven when using the shelves.

•Although this product is a conventional convection oven, consideration has to be given to the smaller size and power of the product in comparison to a standard kitchen oven, so the final result may vary.

•When cooking chilled or frozen foods on CONVECTION mode, allowance must be given to heat loss after the preheat cycle due to the insertion of the food.

NOTES:

•When the oven is preheating, the turntable should be in the oven.

•When using the CONV. (ºC) key, all metal cookware can be used. (See ‘Suitable Cookware’ on page 30).

•Follow convection times and procedures in the charts and recipes in the cookbook section.

•Food manufacturers instructions are only a guide- line, so cooking times may need to be adjusted.

•Pressing the CONV. (ºC) key during cooking will display the programmed temperature. This will not affect the programme or cooking time.

•Always check the food is piping hot before consuming.

•After cooking is complete the cooling fan will continue working for a short time to lower the temperature of the electrical and mechanical parts. The display may show “NOW COOLING”.

•Heat generated by the oven during convection cooking may cause the backplate of the oven to discolour. This is completely normal and will not affect the performance of the oven.

Example:

To cook for 20 minutes at 200ºC convection.

1.Enter the cooking time by pressing the 10 MIN. key twice.

2.Input the temperature by pressing the CONV. (ºC) key 4 times.

3.Press the START/AUTO MINUTE key once to start cooking.

The display will count down through the cooking time.
