To defrost foods not included in the Auto Defrost menu, use microwave power levels
MEDIUM LOW (30%)  or LOW (10% ). Stir or turn food at least 2-3 times during
defrosting.  After defrosting, wrap in aluminium foil and leave to stand until thoroughly
defrosted.  Refer to the defrosting charts in the Cookery Book, page 33.

EXAMPLE:
To bake two layers of scones  at 200°C for 20 minutes. Place one flan dish of scones on the low rack and one
flan dish on the high rack.  Close the door.

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

temperature 200°C

by pressing the

four times.

1. Enter the baking time by

pressing the 10 MIN
key twice.

3. Press START/AUTO

MINUTE to start
baking.

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

CONVECTION TEMPERATURE 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.

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

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.

• Joints of meat/poultry should be cooked on the low rack with the splash guard fitted on top of the

turntable.

Display will count
down through
baking time.

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

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.

NOTES:
• CONVECTION cooking is ideal for cooking Victoria sandwich cakes, buns, biscuits and scones. See recipes

pages 55-58.

• When using the CONVECTION facility, all metal cookware can be used. See SUITABLE COOKWARE

pages 27-28.  To achieve the best results when cooking by CONVECTION, always use the low metal rack
for one layer cooking, and the high rack and low rack for two layer cooking.

• 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 properly.
