Oven Settings

Select from Warm, Grill, Bake, Toast & Turbo Convection.

Warm: Use the WARM setting to pre-heat your oven or keep your food warm after grilling, baking, or toasting.

Grill: Use the GRILL setting for grilling open sandwiches, sausages and vegetables.

Bake: Suitable for roasting baked dinners as well as baking homemade biscuits, cakes and muffins.

Toast: Using the TOAST setting allows maximum heat for fast, quick cooking of pizzas and toast. For toast, use this setting in combination with the timer.

Turbo: Use the TURBO setting to enable fan-forced cooking. This means that the fan, upper and lower heating elements are turned on and hot air is circulated evenly. Suitable for roasting or evenly browning your food.

Usage Instructions

Position the oven on a dry, level surface, ensuring that the ventilation slots on the side and top of the appliance are not obstructed. It is recommended to place the rear surface of the oven against a wall. Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt power outlet and turn the power on.

Note: When turned on for the first time, your Convection Bake & Grill may give off vapours for up to 10 minutes. This is due to the initial heating of the materials used. It is safe, not detrimental to the performance of the oven and will not re occur.

Important: Do not force open the oven door beyond its limit or let the door drop open as this will distort the door and hinder the oven's ability to maintain a proper seal.
