Convection heating
This traditional cooking method (100°C to
220°C) allows you to cook food using heat
produced by the ventilated element in the top
of the oven. NO MICROWAVES are used in
Convection Heating mode: you can therefore
use any metal dishes or heat-resistant
containers. NB: you can choose a
temperature from 100° to 220°C in 10°C
increments. For quick selection, temperature
starts at 150°C.
Preheating
Remember to preheat the oven for the best
results when cooking meat and pastries. It is
preferable to preheat the oven with the
accessories inside and not to open the oven
door whilst it is preheating. See directions for
use, page 12. The convection assisted top fan
of this oven is particularly quick in browning the
top of cakes, so it may be necessary to reduce
the temperature by 20°C when using cooking
temperatures stated in other cookbooks.
Accessories
In order to get a nice base colour for cakes you
must preheat the oven with the metal tray. For
browning the top of a gratin or grilling relatively
thin meat, you may place the dish on the wire
rack, on the metal tray.
Check the food several times and don't
hesitate to cover the top of a cake or a quiche
with a round of baking foil. You can also lower
the temperature during cooking (press
Convection pad once to indicate the
temperature in the display window, then,
several presses will change the temperature -
by increments of 10°C)
Warning:
in Convection and Grill Heating mode, the accessories and the oven will be very
hot. Take care not to burn yourself.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PREHEAT THE
GRILL.
The quartz Grill on your oven browns and
crisps for a wide variety of foods.
The Grill provides 3 Grill Settings:
1 Press Grill 1 1300 W
2 Presses Grill 2 950 W
3 Presses Grill 3 700 W
Place food to be grilled on the wire rack or in a
shallow dish on wire rack. Place this on the
metal tray. For large weight foods, place the
dish directly on the metal tray.
The food being grilled should normally be
turned over after half the grilling time.
Never cover foods when grilling.
There is NO MICROWAVE POWER ON THE
GRILL ONLY PROGRAM
