CONVECTION COOKING
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 37).
•Follow convection times and procedures in the
charts and recipes in the Cookery Book.
•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.
Convection cooking is ideal for cooking cakes, buns,
biscuits, scones and for proving bread at 40˚C.
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.
The temperatures available in ºC are:
250ºC, 230ºC, 220ºC, 200ºC, 190ºC,
180ºC, 160ºC, 130ºC, 100ºC, 40ºC.
WARNING:
The door, outer cabinet, oven cavity,
turntable, dishes, accessories and especially
the grill will become very hot during
operation. To prevent burns, always use
thick oven gloves.
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.
The display will count down
through the cooking time.
3. Press the START/AUTO MINUTE key
once to start cooking.
NOTE FOR USING SHELVES:
When using the shelves follow the
notes below to prevent them
slipping out:
• The correct position for the
shelves is 1 and 2, as shown
in the diagram.
• Do not place food
weighing more than 5kg
on the shelves.
• When removing the food,
pull the shelf until it is slightly
locked, then remove the food.
