Features of your Device

Temperature Control
Variable temperature control allows you to select the perfect temperature for each cooking task.

Lid
The lid contains the heating element and the fan so it will become extremely hot during use. Always remove lid using the handle and always place the hot lid correctly on the lid stand. Never place the hot lid on the benchtop.

Glass Bowl
Glass bowl is dishwasher safe. Easily removable from the base stand.

Base Stand
The glass bowl and the lid can become extremely hot during use. Always move the oven using the base stand handles. Keep hands and fingers from touching the hot glass bowl during carrying.

Power and Warm Up Lights
The Power light indicates when the oven is turned on. Note that if the Power Safety Handle is raised the Power will not be on. The Warm Up light Indicates when the oven is heating up.

Power Safety Handle
When the handle is in the down position, the oven is ready for use. When the handle is raised, the fan and the motor switch off automatically for safety. Always lift the lid by the safety handle.

Timer Control
60 minute safety timer switch. If longer cooking time is needed, the timer will need to be reset during cooking.

Element
Powerful 1200 watt element for fast heat up.

Non-slip rubber feet
Keeps the oven secure on the bench top during use and prevents scratching of bench top surfaces.

High Rack
The high or the low rack should always be used, even if used with another accessory. Can be used by itself or with the low rack for dual level cooking. Food cooked on the high rack cooks the fastest. Suitable for Grilling, Toasting and Dry Frying.

Low Rack
The high or the low rack should always be used, even if used with another accessory. Food should not be placed directly on the bottom of the oven. The low rack allows air to circulate under the food, which is essential for efficient convection cooking, and also allows the food to sit above the fats and juices which accumulate at the bottom of the bowl. Suitable for Roasting, Steaming and Baking.

Multi-Purpose Baking Dish
Can be used to bake and dry fry small items such as scones, vegetables and chips.

Oven Tongs
Use the oven tongs to lift racks and pans into and out of the oven. It's best to place food on the racks and pans outside of the oven, then use the oven tongs to lift into the oven for cooking. The oven tongs are not to be used to lift food.
Lid Holder
The lid contains the element and the fan so it is very hot. Never place the lid directly onto any benchtop or other surface. Always place the lid into the lid holder as per the photograph. Ensure the electrical cord is facing down towards the bench top. Do not use the electrical cord to lift the lid.

Using your Unit

Position the oven on a dry, level surface ensuring the ventilation slots on the lid are not obstructed. Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt power outlet and turn the power on.

Preheat to 250°C. This compensates for the heat lost when removing the lid and placing food in the oven. Outside the oven, arrange food on the appropriate racks and/or pans.

Remove the lid. Using the oven tongs lower the racks and/or pans into the oven. Set the temperature and the timer as required.

When cooking has completed, turn off the temperature and the timer. Remove the lid and place in the lid holder. As the lid will still be hot, move to an area that is away from your food preparation and plating up area. Use the oven tongs to remove the racks and pans from the oven.

Similar to a built-in oven in your kitchen, you will need to become familiar with your NutriOven and adjust cooking times and temperatures according to your requirement.

Helpful Tips

• Overloading the oven will slow down the cooking process.
• Food will take slightly longer to cook if the oven is in a very cold environment
• Placing vegetables in a bowl and covering with boiling water for 5 minutes will assist the cooking process.
• Always pre-heat oven to 250°C – this compensates for the heat lost while removing lid and placing food in the oven.
• Work quickly to minimise heat loss. Before removing the lid, ensure you are prepared and have everything you need close by
• Where possible, place food directly onto the wire racks to allow air to circulate freely.
• Where possible, arrange food on the racks outside the oven before removing the lid.
• Always use the oven tongs provided to add or remove wire racks, baking dish, trays etc
• Be aware that when the timer finishes, the oven will turn off. If you are cooking food for longer than 1 hour, we recommend that you keep an eye on the timer and increase the timer during cooking.
• It is important to cook mince meat, sausages and poultry until well done. No pink should be visible and juices should run clear.
• Silicone bakeware is not suitable to use in the NutriOven.
• Oven bags are not suitable to use in the NutriOven.

Cooking Temperature Guide

Use these cooking times as a guide. Cooking times and temperatures will vary depending on factors such as weight, cut of the food and your personal taste. Similar to your built-in oven in your kitchen, you may need to adjust cooking times and temperatures to your requirements. Monitor the food as it's cooking and modify accordingly. It is important to cook mince meat, sausages and poultry until well done. No pink should be visible and juices should run clear.

Roasting Guide

A meat thermometer shows the exact temperature inside the poultry or meat. If using a meat thermometer, insert the probe into the centre of the thickest part of the food ensuring it does not contact bone, fat or gristle.

Basic Cooking Functions

Bakes

Bake at around 170 - 190°C. You can bake almost anything – Cakes, Scones, Biscuits, Muffins, Breads, Quiches, Frittatas, Potatoes and Fish. If baking biscuits or scones, we recommend you use the multi-purpose baking dish to allow air to circulate. For cakes, we recommend ring tins which allow cakes to cook through to the centre. If using your own baking pans or tins, and not the ones supplied with the NutriOven, check that they fit in the oven before using. Silicone bakeware is not suitable to use in the NutriOven.

Roasts

Roast at around 200 - 250°C. You can roast meats, vegetables, potatoes and wedges. We suggest lining the bottom of the bowl under the rack with aluminium foil turned up at the edges. This will catch drippings and make cleaning easier. Roasts will need to be turned at least once in the cooking cycle unless they are very small. For vegetables, it may be necessary to remove meat and let it stand whilst the vegetables finish cooking.
Note: Meat with a bone will take longer than a boneless roast. Oven bags are not suitable to use in the NutriOven.

Steams

Steam at around 180 - 200°C. Steam your favourite seafood, poultry and vegetables. When steaming, food should not be very cold. To steam vegetables, wrap wet vegetables in foil parcels with a little hot water. Secure the foil ends well, so the foil is not blown off or sucked up by the convection fan. Oven bags are also suitable instead of foil. Place the foil parcels in the oven so that the air can circulate around them. Fish can also be steamed using foil parcels as this will allow the fish to steam in its own juices.
Note: To speed up steaming time of vegetables, soak them in hot water.

Grills

Grill at around 220 - 250°C. Grill meats, seafood, vegetables and your favourite cheese topping. For grilling, the oven needs to be very hot for fast cooking and the food must not be too cold. Using cold food for grilling and for any of the other cooking functions, can extend cooking times.

Note: You will not achieve the same amount of browning as you would on a barbecue or in a frypan. A small amount of oil sprayed or wiped onto the food will help in browning.

Dry Fry

Dry fry at around 220 - 250°C. Dry fry bacon, sausages, eggs, vegetables, chips and more. Once cooked, do not allow the food to stand in the oven as the steam may cause the food to soften. A small amount of oil sprayed or wiped onto the food will help in browning and crisping.

Toasts

Toast at around 220 - 250°C. Toast sweet and savoury breads, pastries, rolls and sandwiches. You can also toast cheese melts and pizzas.

Care and Cleaning

• The NutriOven is incredibly easy to clean.
• Always turn the power off and remove the plug from power outlet after use and before cleaning.
• Allow the glass bowl and accessories to cool down before cleaning.
• It is important to clean the oven after each use for good food safety hygiene and to prevent a build up of grease or residue and to prevent unpleasant odours.
• Never place the lid element down on the bench surface. Use the Lid Holder to brace the lid during use. Be careful not to place the lid on the electrical lead.
• Do not touch the element
• The glass bowl is dishwasher safe.
• The glass bowl is not suitable for the fridge, freezer or oven.
• The glass bowl can be washed in the unit itself. Fill up the glass bowl with approximately 80mm of hot water and add mild dishwashing detergent. Replace the lid, push the power safety handle down and set the timer for 10-15 minutes. Set the temperature to 150 degrees. At the conclusion, if there is any excess residue remove with a dishwashing brush and rinse with warm water to remove the soap residue and food remnants.
• Never leave water in the bowl after washing is completed, as the condensation can build up and cause damage to the element and fan.
• The glass bowl, wire racks, multi-purpose baking pan, drip tray, and crumb tray, may be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed.
• The lid of the oven can be wiped with a mild detergent and a damp cloth.

Note: Do not clean the lid of the oven in the dishwasher. Never immerse the lid of the oven in water.
