Bake with Pre-heating

 

The oven can be used as a conventional oven using the Convection mode which incorporates a heating element with a fan. There is a choice of Convection temperatures 100 °F (40 °C) and 215 °F (100 °C) - 425 °F (220 °C). For quick selection of the most commonly used cooking temperatures, the oven starts at 300 °F (150 °C) and then for each press the temperature will count up in 18 °F (10 °C) stages to 425 °F (220 °C), then to, 100 °F (40 °C), 215 °F (100 °C), 230 °F (110 °C) etc.


This feature provides 2 modes to select. For best results always place food in a preheated oven.

  • The oven will maintain the selected preheated temperature for approximately 30 minutes without the door opened. If no food has been placed inside the oven or a cooking time set, then it will beep 5 times and automatically cancel the cooking program and revert to colon or time of day.
  • Once you open the door and Start is not pressed, after 6 minutes, the oven will automatically cancel the preheated program. This display will revert back to clock or colon mode.
  • The oven cannot preheat to 100 °F degrees fahrenheit (40 °C degrees celsius).


Baking without Pre-Heating

 

Without Preheating:
(100 °F degrees fahrenheit (40 °C degrees celsius) is available in Convection without preheating.)

  • Press Convection Bake until the desired temperature appears in the display window.
  • Set desired cooking time by turning the [Start] dial. (up to 9 hours).
  • Press the [Start] dial.
  • The cooking time appears in the display window and begins to count down.

Notes:

  • When the selected cooking time is less than one hour, the time counts down second by second.
  • When the selected cooking time is over one hour, the time counts down minute by minute until only “1H 00” (1 hour) remains. The display then indicates minutes and seconds and counts down second by second. 

Oven accessories to use

When using the Convection oven the glass tray should be in position and must have the enamel tray placed on top.
The food is then placed onto the enamel tray. Follow your individual recipe guidelines. When using the oven as a Convection oven, there is no Microwave power, i.e. the oven is operating as a conventional oven and you can use all your standard metal baking tins and ovenware. It is not recommended to cook on more than one level when using the Convection oven. When cooking 2 trays of buns etc, cook in two batches.

 

Caution:

Food, accessories and the surrounding oven will get very hot. Use oven mitts.
