EXAMPLE:
To preheat the oven to 180°C.

NOTES:
• During preheating and convection cooking, you will hear the cooling fan cycling on and off. This is

completely normal and will not affect the cooking.

°C. Do not press the STOP/CLEAR key after opening and closing the door, as this will
cancel the CONVECTION MODE.

• If you prefer not to preheat the oven where recommended in the cookbook section, allow extra cooking time.
• The preheated temperature will be maintained for approximately 30 minutes before automatically turning

itself off and returning to the time of day, if the clock has been previously set.

• If you wish to preheat the oven, then cook at a different temperature, enter the cooking time then press the

CONV. (°C) key until the desired temperature is displayed.

• You can check the actual temperature during preheating by pressing the CONV. (°C) key. The temperature

will appear on the display. This will not affect the oven operation.

The oven cavity, door, outer cabinet, turntable, racks, dishes and especially bottom grill heater will become very
hot.  To prevent burns, always use thick oven gloves when removing the food or turntable from the oven.

EXAMPLE:
To bake for 25 minutes at 200°C convection.

NOTES:
• Once the oven has started you can find out the temperature you have programmed by pressing the

CONV. (°C) key. The temperature will appear on the display. This will not affect the programme or
cooking time.

• After cooking is complete the cooling fan will continue working for a short time to lower the temperature

of the electrical and mechanical components. The display may show “NOW COOLING”.

• Recipes requiring a browned or crispy underside (ie; pies, pizza and bread), should be placed directly

on the turntable, unless instructions in the cookbook section state otherwise.

• Joints of meat/poultry should be cooked on the low rack, on the turntable.
• Small food items such as pastries or biscuits should be cooked on the low rack so as to avoid browning

too quickly.

The temperatures available in degrees Centigrade are:
250°C, 230°C, 220°C, 200°C, 180°C, 
160°C, 130°C, 100°C,  70°C, 40°C

Your oven can be programmed to cook
with ten different temperatures by
combining the top and bottom grills with
the convection fan.

NOTES:
• CONVECTION cooking is ideal for cooking buns, biscuits and scones.
• When using the CONVECTION facility, all metal cookware can be used. See SUITABLE COOKWARE

pages 27 - 28.

• Temperature measurements taken whilst the oven is in convection mode will differ slightly from the

displayed level.  This is due to the grill elements turning on and off in order to regulate the oven
temperature.  This will not affect the cooking results as long as the operation manual and cook book are
followed correctly.
