9.5 Cooking with the Round Heating Element
9.5.1 Round Heating Element + Fan
The combination of the fan and round heating element around it, gives
uniform heat distribution with no cold spots. This results in many benefits –
no flavour transfer when cooking different foods at the same time, less
energy is needed, and it cooks at 10% quicker than a normal oven. All
foods can be cooked with this function.
IMPORTANT POINTS:
1. When the round heating element is used for the first time there will be
some smoke and a smell coming from the oils used during oven
manufacture.
2. The oven door window becomes very hot when the oven is working.
Keep children away.
3. When the oven is operating, the cavity walls and the ovenware become
very hot. You should use oven gloves.
4. Important! When food is to be cooked in containers you must check that
the container in question is suitable for microwave use. See the section on
types of ovenware!
5. After you have finished cooking, clean the interior and the accessories
so that cooking remains do not become encrusted.

Advice for roasting meat
Turn the pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time. When the
roasted meat is ready you should let it stand for 10 minutes in the oven
with this switched off and closed. This will ensure the juices in the meat
are well distributed.
Add 2 to 3 soup spoons of gravy or similar liquid to lean meat and 8 to 10
soup spoons to stews, depending on the amount of meat in question.
The roasting temperature and time required depends on the type and
amount of meat being cooked.
