Convection Cooking

Convection cooking combines hot air movement by means of a fan with the regular
features (broil, bake and toast). Convection cooking provides faster cooking in many
cases than regular radiant types toaster ovens. The fan gently sends air to every area of
the food, quickly browning, crisping and sealing in moisture and flavor. It produces more
even temperature all around the food by air movement, so that food cooks/bakes/broils
evenly versus the normal ovens hot and cold spots. The convection feature allows
cooking/baking at lower temperatures, which saves energy and helps keep the kitchen
cooler. Convection air is superheated and it circulates around the food so it cooks food
significantly faster than conventional ovens.

Read all the sections of this booklet and follow all the instructions carefully.

Before Using Your Convection Toaster Oven

1. Read all of the instructions included in this manual.

2. Make sure that the oven is unplugged and the Time Control is in the “OFF”
position.

3. Wash all the accessories in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher.

4. Thoroughly dry all accessories and re-assemble in oven. Plug oven into outlet
and you are ready to use your new Toaster Oven with Convection.

5. After re-assembling your oven, we recommend that you run it at the highest
temperature (450° F.) on the Toast Function for approximately 15 minutes to
eliminate any packing residue that may remain after shipping. This will also
remove all traces of odor initially present.

Please Note: Initial start-up operation may result in minimal smell and smoke

(about 15 minutes). This is normal and harmless. It is due to
burning of the protective substance applied to the heating
elements in the factory.

Using Your Convection Toaster Oven

CAUTION: Always use extreme care when

removing bake pan, wire rack or any
hot container from a hot oven. Always
use an oven mitt when removing hot
items from the oven.

WARNING: TO AVOID RI SK OF INJURY OR

BURNS, DO NOT TOUCH HOT
SURFACES WHEN OVEN IS IN USE.
ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS.

Broiling with Convection

5

The top heating elements cycle on and off to maintain maximum temperature
in the oven. For best results, the oven should be preheated for 20 minutes at
450°F before adding the food to be broiled. In the convection oven, it is not
necessary to turn the food because the fan circulates the hot air around the
food. The food must be placed on the wire rack with the broil pan in position
to catch the drippings and allow the circulation of air.

Operation

• Set Temperature Control to 450°F.

• Turn Function Control to Broil/Convection.

• Preheat the oven.

• Place the Broil pan on lowest rack support.

• Place the food on the Wire Rack and slide into the Top Rack Support Guide or

Middle Rack Support Guide depending on the thickness of the food that you are
cooking.

• Food should be placed as close as possible to the Top Heating Element without

touching it.

• Set temperature control to the appropriate temperature.

• Brush food with sauces or oil, as desired.

• Turn Time Control to position “Stay On”.

• It is advisable to leave the door slightly ajar.

• When broiling is complete, turn the Time Control to “OFF”.

Also, check often during broiling to avoid overcooking.

Note: All broiling times are based on meats at refrigerator

temperature. Frozen meats may take considerably longer.
Therefore, use of a meat thermometer is highly
recommended.

Baking with Convection

6

Convection baking is very consistent and even. The fan circulates the hot air around
the food making baked goods rise quickly and evenly.
Bake your favorite cookies, cakes, pies, brownies, etc. The bake ware that will fit in
your oven are up to 11 inches in length. We do not recommend the use of oven
roasting bags or glass containers in the oven. Never use plastic, cardbo ard, paper or
anything similar in the oven.

Note: Position the wire rack in the lowest Support Guide.
Operation

• Place the wire rack in the lowest or middle Rack Support Guide depending on the

height of the pan or according to the recipe.

• Place pan with item(s) to be baked on the wire rack.

• Turn the Function Control to Bake/Convection.

• Turn the Time Control to pos ition “Stay On”.

• When baking is complete, turn the Time Control to “OFF”.

Positioning of the Wire Rack

Cookies - Use bottom and middle Support Guides.
Layer Cakes - Use bottom Support Guide only (bake one at a time).
Pies - Use bottom Support Guide.

Baking Cookies

For baking cookies, we suggest adjusting baking temperature and using a cookie
sheet placed on the wire rack. Also, using parchment paper on a cookie sheet might
prove helpful when baking certain types of cookies.

1. Pre-heat oven for 15 minutes, then place cookie sheets on the wire rack to begin
baking.

2. Use parchment paper on cookie sheet so cook ies will not stick.

3. Cookie sheets, baking times and temperatures ma y differ from those neces sary
when using other baking materials.

Note: Convection air is su perheated and it circulates around the food, so it cooks food

faster. When baking your favorite recipes or packaged goods, follow recipe
instructions. Check the baked goods a few minutes before the shortest recommended
baking time.

Baking Guide

Follow the package or recipe instructions for baking times and temperature.

Recommended Pan Sizes

The following recommended pan sizes should fit your Convection / Toaster Oven.
To be sure pan will fit place the pan inside the oven to check before preparing your
recipe.

6-cup muffin pan
8 x 4 loaf pan
9 x 5 loaf pan
8” round or square baking pan or dish
1-11/2 quart casserole dish – most types.

When baking in loaf pans, we recommend you do not fill more than half full.

Toasting

Large capacity oven allows for toasting 4 to 6 slices of bread, 6 muffins, frozen
