Decide if you are going to use CONVECTION BAKE or

To use Convection Bake, simply press the
CONVECTION Button located on the front
panel to start the Convection Fan.
Convection Bake is baking with a fan at the back
of the oven circulating the hot air in a continuous
pattern around the food. This circulating hot air
heats and browns the surface of the food more
effectively than in a standard oven. This allows
most foods to be cooked at lower oven tempera-

that can be cooked in low sided baking utensils or

SELECTING UTENSILS FOR CONVECTION BAKE
Cooking by convection does not require any specially
designed baking utensils. You probably have many
utensils in your kitchen that are suitable to use. When
choosing a baking utensil, consider the material, the
size and shape as they all affect the baking time, the
appearance of the finished product.
Metal bake ware (aluminum, steel and cast iron) all
result in the fastest cooking time and the best end
product. Aluminum pans work best for all types of
baked goods. For the best browning, use a pan with
dark or dull finish that absorbs heat, when baking
pies and breads. A shiny finish works best for cakes
and cookies, since it reflects some of the heat and
provides a tenderer surface. Cookie sheets with only
one lip will give the best results, as the heated air can
circulate all around the sides of the food.
For roasting use bottom of the broil pan and elevate the
meat on a metal roasting rack. Glass
utensils do not conduct heat as well as metal, but they
can be used. Use them for foods that do not require a
dark brown crust or crisping, such as soufflés.
Baked items cook more quickly and evenly if they are
individuallysmallerin size,i.e.two orthreesmallfoodsdo
better than one large piece. When single food items are
baked,always centertherack.If several foods are
baked, space them evenly on the racks.
One to four racks can be used simultaneously
during convection baking. Place the rack(s) in the
desired position before turning the oven on. Store the
unused racks out of the oven.
Rack position 2 (second from bottom) will probably
be used the most for single rack convection baking.
When baking on more than one rack you do not
need to stagger the pans. Allow at least 1" of space
between the oven walls and the pans so the heated
air can circulate. Pans should be placed in the
center of the oven, stacked above each rack.

To thaw frozen cooked food, set the oven knob to
170°F. Loosen the freezer wrapping. Do not use plas-
tic wrap or wax paper in the oven.
According to the United States Department of

between 40°F to 140°F for longer than 2 hours.
USING CONVECTION BROIL AND REGULAR
TO SET THE OVEN FOR CONVECTION
Pay special attention when setting the
Oven Control Knob on "BROIL". If you set the knob
past the "BROIL" setting, the burner will not ignite.
Decide if you are going to use REGULAR BROIL or
CONVECTION BROIL. If you are going to use regular
broil turn the Oven Control knob To "BROIL". To use
Convection Broil turn the Oven Control Knob to
"BROIL" and press the CONVECTION button to operate
the fan. The burner will ignite after the gas reaches
the burner. The "oven on" indicator light will come
on to let you know that the broiler is currently on.
During the broiling process, the infra
produces such an intense heat that the burner will
cycle on and off to maintain an efficient yet safe
interior cooking environment.
TheHEATING indicator light on the valve panel cycles
on and off with burner to let the user know when the
burner is lit. This cycling process is used to evenly
distribute and safety control the intense heat that the
broil burner produces. The cycling feature prevents
the burner from producing range
The rack position depends on the type and
thickness of the food. Thick pieces of meat or
poultry (1" or more) would typically be broiled
or convection broiled on rack position

depending on type of product.

USING THE OVEN ROTISSERIE
Your Gas Self Clean oven contains a rotisserie system,
complete with a vertical positioning rod, a U
horizontal spit rod, and heavy
duty, cast stainless steel
prongs. Also, the oven comes with a porcelain
twopiecebroilerpan,providedforyour convenience.
Using the rotisserie is quite simple.
chops and hamburgers would typically be broiled
on rack position 4. If top browning casseroles or
bread, the thickness of the food will indicate the posi-
tion. Casseroles and bread would typically be
browned on rack position 2 (see instructions below
Convection broil is cooking by intense infrared radiant
heat supplied by the broil burner while fan at the back
of the oven circulates hot air in a continuous
around the food. Convection broil cooks the food with
better results for thicker cuts of meat. The
