COOKING WITH EXTENDER RING While the size of the food is larger than the glass pot, the extender ring should be used to enlarge the internal capacity of the oven, the extender ring fits between the glass pot and the lid. The set-up of the oven with the extender ring fitted is the same as the normal set-up procedure.
COOKING HINTS • The cooking time depends on the size and weight etc. of the food to be cooked. Most meat, for example, comes with a recommended cooking time. This should be used as a guide only as the Halogen Oven cooks faster than conventional ovens so you may need to allow less time to cook the food.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE • WARNING: Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children. • CAUTION: Always unplug and allow the oven to cool down before cleaning. • WARNING: To avoid electric shock, never immerse the lid in water or other liquid.
