Functions of Your Kambrook Turbo Convection Oven The digital control panel has 5 pre-set cooking settings including a Cookies, Pizza, Pastry, Cake and Roast Setting. Additionally, there are 3 other function settings: Re-heat, Turbo and Clean. The table below outlines the setting, temperature and default time of each pre-set setting. Pre-set Temperature setting Time Cookies 170˚C 8 Minutes Pizza 230˚C 12 Minutes Pastry 220˚C 20 Minutes Cake 160˚C 40 Minutes Roast 190˚C 40 Minutes Re-heat 70˚C 20 Minutes Clean 70˚C 10 Minutes Turbo 250˚C 10 Minutes * Please note the above pre-set cooking temperatures and cooking times are only recommended settings; please refer to recipe guidelines for correct temperature and cooking times and adjust accordingly. Using the Temperature Function The Temperature Function allows you to manually adjust the pre-set temperature. The cooking temperature can be increased or decreased in 10˚C increments between 50˚C-250˚C. To adjust, press the ‘+’ button to increase the cooking temperature and the ‘-’ button to decrease the cooking temperature. This allows greater control over cooking time if portion sizes or the recipe requires the time or temperature be adjusted. 11 Using Your Kambrook Convection Oven NOTE: The pre-set settings are only a guideline and temperature and time may need to be manually adjusted depending on the food being cooked. Using the Time Function The Timer Function allows you change the pre-set cooking time. Cooking time can be increased or decreased in 1 minute increments between 0-119 minutes. To adjust, press the ‘+’ button to increase the cooking time and the ‘-’ button to decrease the cooking time. Once the desired pre-set cooking function has been selected and cooking temperature and time is adjusted, if required, press the ‘POWER/START’ button to commence cooking process. Once the timer reaches 0:00, the appliance will emit a series of beeping sounds indicating that the cooking process has completed. To stop the cooking process before the timer has counted down, press the ‘POWER/START button once. The timer and temperature indicators on the digital display panel will display 0.00. Press and hold the ‘POWER/ START’ for 3 seconds. The appliance will emit a beep sound and the time and temperature indicators on the digital display panel will turn off. continued NOTE: Before the cooking time has completed, the pause function can be activated by simply lifting the handle. To resume cooking process, push the lid handle into the downward position and press the ‘POWER/START’ button to continue cooking process. Other Functions Re-heat The ‘RE-HEAT’ function provides a low heat for 20 minutes and is great for re-heating meals quickly. Use the low rack and ensure to use the extension ring to evenly re-heat food. If re-heating is required, press the ‘RE-HEAT’ button, then press the ‘POWER/START’ button to activate. Turbo The ‘TURBO’ function provides full heat for an additional 10 minutes. If you are roasting and require extra time, press the ‘TURBO’ button then press the ‘POWER/START’ button to activate. NOTE: All timings and temperatures will vary dependant on factors such as brand, liquid content, humidity levels, temperature of food etc. The timings and temperatures supplied are only a guide. Clean The ‘CLEAN’ function is a self-cleaning function to make cleaning the Turbo Convection Oven easier. See page 18 for operation details. 12 Using the Extension Ring Cake The extension ring allows greater air circulation to simulate a fan forced oven. It adds an extra 5 litres to the capacity of the oven, allowing you to bake larger foods in the same amount of time. No pre-heating is necessary in the Turbo Convection Oven when baking. Ordinarily, the centre of a cake batter will be moist, while the section closest to rim of the baking pan will be cooked first. We recommend using an 18cm round cake tin and the stainless steel extension ring. Always place the cake tin on the low rack, never directly onto the bottom of the glass cooking bowl. Cooking time depends entirely upon the size of cake you are making but it is easy to monitor its progress with the see-through glass cooking bowl. For more even cooking results, bake the cake for the first 15 minutes and then cover the top of the cake tin with aluminium foil for the remaining time. NOTE: Ensure that the extension ring is fitted properly on top of the glass bowl. If not fitted correctly it can slip when placed on top. Caution: Always remove the extension ring before removing or turning food in the Turbo Convection Oven to prevent accidental scalding. Rest the extension ring on a heat-resistant surface to prevent heat damage to bench surface. Pressure Express Cooking Guide Cookies The Turbo Convection Oven cooks cookies in a matter of minutes. You can cook on the high rack and the low rack. Use the extension ring for even heat distribution. Pizza The pizza can be prepared outside of the Turbo Convection Oven and placed on the high rack. Use the extension ring to improve airflow and ensure a crispy base. For best results, we suggest using thin crust pizzas. 13 Using Your Kambrook Convection Oven continued Roast - Beef, Lamb, Pork Roast HINT: Lining the bottom of the glass bowl with aluminium foil (leaving an inch of rim) will catch drippings for easy cleaning. To let hot air circulate freely, use the low rack. The fan forced motor cooks meat evenly and seals in the juices. Place meat directly on to the low rack with the skin facing downwards. Half way through the cooking time, turn the meat skin side up and continue to roast for the remaining time.
