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<

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.

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 stand on the oven door.

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 window and metal trim parts above the door.

Remember: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.

is Convection?

In a convection oven,

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.

Convection Bake

● Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked

on all 3 shelves.

●

Good for large quantities of baked foods.

●

Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins,

brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel

bread.

Regular Bake

● Foods such as layer cakes have a more level top

In convection roast,

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

remended for convection baking.

than shiny pans.

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 around food in a pan with high sides.
