This one has no manual but appears complete and works fine - well it certainly was OK using it to clean itself as we have seen on the TV adverts. There is no manual and I have had no luck Googling for one. Anybody please tell us simply how to use the beast - can you fry eggs etc on them for instance? What do you use yours for ? What sort of plates do you need for items that will not sit on the grills provided? ETC	Thomas01 (317)
789043	2009-07-05 01:20:00	Google ''convection oven cooking'', surely there is enough tips on that page?	BobM (1138)

Thanks for that link, I managed to download a copy of the correct manual for our convection oven. However it is typical of so many manuals - congratulating us on our choice of their excellent product, telling us not to drop it in the bath, don't fiddle in the electrics with steel implements etc. It did in fact have one recipe for a chicken. So we are not much wiser. The tips also mentioned (via Google) looked interesting but mainly seemed suitable for those who already know what they are doing rather than the complete beginner. Bit like our help threads in this forum. It seems as though we need to just use our common sense (tricky that) and experiment. It took us a while to find out that the reason it was "dead" when we first tried it was because the handle had not been firmly pushed down into its recess. Again thanks chaps. Tom	Thomas01 (317)

Treat is just like an ordinary oven (use metal, pyrex or any oven proof containers) - just set the temp and the timer. Cook a whole roast dinner if you like, or heat up a pizza. As for eggs - would you cook them in a conventional oven? Generally faster and cheaper to run than an ordinary oven as it heats up quick (small volume) and the heat is distributed evenly by the fan. Great appliance.	seltsam (13470)
789048	2009-07-06 12:02:00	Faster and more even than a horse drawn stove, while using a fraction of the power. Most important, you are cleaning a light weight, easily manoeuvred, item on the bench rather than kneeling down with your head in a dark awkward shaped cave . Haven't used the regular oven for anything except storage for two years. Probably never will again.	R2x1 (4628)
789049	2009-07-07 23:38:00	Well we tried it out last night. Decided on something simple so used chicken drumsticks and oven chips. Results:- Took longer than we expected but then our ordinary oven is equipped with a fan anyway so I suppose is similar. We thought the chips were going to turn out soft which we hate but no problem eventually. They were nice and crisp. The chicken was delicious and very moist. It didn't brown quite as much as we expected but then we had made the decision it was cooked and took it out. Yes a success particularly as it was the first time we had used one. And so easy to clean. I think we will use it quite a lot.	Thomas01 (317)
