Operation
Pre-heating
If pre-heating is required (although the halogen oven heats quickly), adjust the
temperature control and set the time control to 5 minutes.
Once the temperature has been reached, the halogen element will turn off and on
- this is the indication that the oven has reached the required temperature.
Food can now be placed in the glass bowl and the correct cooking time can be set.
Note:
•
Take care, the halogen oven will be hot.
•
The time control dial must not be turned anti-clockwise, this may damage the
timer. Take care to set the correct time required.
•
Do not touch the surface of the halogen oven – it will get extremely hot when
in use and will remain hot for some time after.
•
Always remove the glass lid with the handle supplied, as this will de-activate
the safety switch and turn off the oven.
•
Oven gloves are recommended when removing the glass lid.
•
Ensure food is adequately defrosted before cooking.
Cooking
Cooking time depends on the size, weight, type etc. of the food to be cooked.
For example, most meat comes with recommended cooking times, but since
halogen ovens cook faster than conventional ovens, you may need to allow less
time to cook the food.
To ensure the food is cooked properly, use a cooking thermometer or pierce the
food with a fork or skewer to check for signs of it being uncooked.
When cooking vegetables, check for tenderness.
Remember:
Distribute food evenly in the convection oven to ensure an even flow
of air all around the food.
Avoid stacking food in an attempt to cook more food, if air cannot circulate
around the food, you will only fully cook the top. Leave space for air to travel.
