IhlPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
● The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to
the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers
of potential exposure to such substances.
● The fiberglass insulation in self-cleaning
ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by venting with an
open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
● Have the installer show you the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
● Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this guide.
sure your appliance is properly installed and
ounded
“-
by a qualified technician in accordance
with the provided Installation Instructions.
● Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
your oven unless it is specifically recommended
in this guide. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
● Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE OVEN POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL
BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING
OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
● Do not leave children alone<

●
Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the oven.
. Always keep combustible
wa~
coverings, curtains
or drapes a safe distance from your oven.
● Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the apptiance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
oven. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot heating elements and
may cause severe burns.
“
DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.
● Use only dry pot holders—Moist or
damp pot holders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let
pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can
catch fire on a hot heating element.
● Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance from
your oven.
c
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your oven.
● For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
● Do not store flammable materials in the oven.
● Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in
or near the oven.
● Be sure the oven is securely installed in a
cabinet that is firmly attached to the house
structure. Never allow anyone to climb, sit or

Do not touch the heating elementi or the
interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may
be hot enough to burn even though they are dark
in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact any
interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling, first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent
openings and surfaces near the openings, crevices
around the oven door, the edges of the door

\ it
is Convection?
In a convection
oven,
a
fan circulates
hot
air over, under and
around
the
food.
This
circulating hot air is
evenly distributed
throughout the oven
cavity. As a result,
foods
are
evenly
cooked and
browned—often in
less time with
convection heat.
Because food is heated faster in a convection oven
when using the convection modes, many types of food
can be cooked at lower temperatures than those
suggested for regular ovens. Do remember that recipe
books often give times and temperatures for cooking
in regular ovens. Convection ovens make it possible
to reduce the temperature by
on adapting recipes, see the Convection Cookbook.
CAUTION:
The convection oven fan shuts off when
the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door
open for long periods of time while using convection
cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection
heating element.
When Should You Use Convection Bake or Convection Roast?
To help you understand the difference between
convection bake and roast and traditional bake and
roast, here are some general guidelines.
In convection bake,
heat comes from the heating
element in the rear of the oven. The convection fan
circulates the heated air evenly, over and around the
fed. Preheating is not necessary with foods having

time of over 15 minutes.
In regular baking, the bottom oven element heats
the air in the oven which then cooks the food.
element. The convection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry
are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. Using the roasting rack provided, heated air
will be circulated over, under and around the food
being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly
for a moist and tender product while, at the same
time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.
Convection Roast
● Large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
● Roasting pans with low sides to allow air movement
around food.
Regular Roast
● Less tender cuts of meat because these need to cook
a long time in liquid to become tender.
● Cooking bag
● Foil tent
● Covered dish

Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check to see
if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in
the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave
space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not
touch each other or the walls of the oven.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your convection
oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are
r
remended for convection baking.

than shiny pans.

Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

When baking cookies, you will get the best results
if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with
low sides.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, you should
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well
