Using The Oven
Place the High Rack1. 5or Low Rack 6centrally in the Glass Bowl 3. The
choice of rack depends upon the food to be cooked, with the low rack being
used for larger items - see Cooking Guide.
Place the food centrally on the rack, ensuring that it is at least 3cm from the

wall of the Glass Bowl 3, to allow maximum air circulation.
Place the Oven Lid

Handle 11 in the upright OFF position - note the handle label.
Plug the Power Cable

will remain on until the timer switches off, when a bell will sound,
to alert you that the cooking time has been reached.
Note: The Glass Bowl 3and Oven Lid 4will become hot. Ensure
that the Oven is at least 8cm from any surface and take care not to
touch the hot areas. Always use Oven mits when handling and lift
by the Carrying Handles 2. After removing the Oven Lid 4, place it on a heat
resistant surface, as the underside becomes hot during cooking.
Cleaning
Note: Always unplug the Power Cable 8and allow the Oven to cool before
cleaning, including between self cleaning and manual cleaning.
The Oven has a self-cleaning function, which will minimise manual cleaning. To
use this, proceed as follows:
Pour clean water into the Glass Bowl
1. 3to a depth of 5cm; for greater
cleaning action a small amount of mild dishwashing detergent may be added.
Follow steps 3 to 7 of Using The Oven, with a temperature setting of “Wash”

Cooking Techniques
Roasting• - place meats directly on rack.
Toasting• - place bread directly on rack; can also bring new life to stale food.
Baking• - place food in a metal or tempered glass baking pan, up to 30cm dia.
Steaming• - place food in an aluminium foil pouch with a small amount of water.
Frying• - dip food in cooking oil, allow excess oil to drain and place directly on rack,
or in heat resistant container.
Defrosting• - set temperature to “Thaw” and check every 5-10 minutes.
Cooking from frozen• - reduce suggested temperature on packaging by 20°C,
suggested cooking time by 30-50%.
Remember to distribute food evenly in the Oven to ensure an even ow of air
•
around the food.
You may wish to spray the racks with a non-stick food spray before use to
•
prevent the food sticking.

It can roast, bake, grill, steam, reheat or defrost.2.
Electricity consumption is less than half that of a conventional oven.3.
Food is cooked much more quickly than in a conventional oven.4.
Food retains less fat, lowering calorie and cholesterol consumption.5.
Carrying handles allow food to be brought to the table in the oven bowl.6.
It is easily transported, so can be used away from home.7.
Food is cooked evenly, without drying out, burning or smoke.8.
