Convection guide
Convection
In Convection mode, both the heating element and the side-wall fan operate
together to circulate the heat inside the cooking chamber. Use this mode for
biscuits, individual scones, rolls, and cakes as well as fruit cakes, choux, and
soufés. All conventional ovenproof cookware, baking tins and sheets – anything
you would normally use in a traditional convection oven – can be used.
Microwaves+Convection
This combination mode combines the microwave energy with hot air, resulting in
reduced cooking time and producing a brown, crispy surface of the food. The oven
offers 5 different combination modes for your convenience. Use this for all kinds
of meat and poultry as well as casseroles and gratin dishes, sponge cakes and
light fruit cakes, pies and crumbles, roast vegetables, scones, and breads. Use only
ovenproof cookware, such as glasses, potteries, or bone china without metal trim.
Preheat the grill with Fast Preheat, and wait until the cycle is complete. Set the
power level and cooking time as instructed below. Use oven gloves when taking
out food.
