How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove adhesive left from
packaging tape on new appliances is an application of
a household liquid
or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to
soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to
thoroughly clean and protect the surface.
NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from the
chrome trim on oven parts. It cannot be removed if it
is baked on.

Regular Bake
● Foods such as layer cakes have a more level top
crust when not baked with convection heat.
In convection roast, heat comes from the top oven
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

Regular Roast
● Less tender cuts of meat because these need to cook

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
recommended for convection baking.

● Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster
than

Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

Adapting Recipes for Convection Baking
As a general rule, reduce the temperature by
Convection Baking. For more specific instructions,
follow the guidelines in the Convection Cookbook.
Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake
time of over 15 minutes.
Multi-Shelf Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout
the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results
on two or three shelves at a time. Multi-shelf baking
may
increase cook times slightly for some foods
but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, biscuits,
and
quickbreads give very good results with
shelf baking.

Baking Pans
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.
● Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat, resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
●
Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of pan.
● Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking
in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to
be reduced by
25°F.
18
Pan Placement
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking
results will be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible rather than being placed to the front
or to the back of the oven.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. Allow 1- to 1 X-inch space between pans as
as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides.

A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe

overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size
used is the one recommended.

REGULAR ROASTING WITH THE PROBE
See the Regular Roasting Guide.
Correct Placement of the Temperature Probe
A
temperature probe has been provided for use in your
new oven. This probe is designed to withstand high
temperatures. Temperature
products, such as those used for microwave ovens,
may not be designed to withstand high temperatures.
Use of probes other than the one provided with this
product may result in damage to the probe.
Never leave your probe inside the oven during a
cleaning cycle.
For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal
food temperature is the best test for doneness. The
temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting
by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want.
When the internal temperature of the food reaches the
temperature you set, the oven automatically shuts off.
The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at
one end and a plug at the other end that goes into the
outlet
on the oven wall.
After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or2. Insert the probe into
on the broiler pan grid, follow these directions for
proper probe place-merit.

is cooking food by intense radiant heat
from the upper broil element in the oven. Most
fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow
these directions to keep spattering and smoking to
a minimum.
1.
If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge,
vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart.
If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer

2. Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.
Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler
pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough
to catch on fire.

● Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with
your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower
part of the pan.
● The oven door should be open to the broil
stop position.
●
For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the
outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise
through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the
meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent
piercing the meat and losing juices.
● If desired, marinate meats or chicken before
broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to

The oven door is

removing and replacing
the door. Do not lift the
door by the handle. This
can cause the glass to
break or can cause
damage to the door.
To
remove the door,
open it a few inches to the special stop position that
will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side
and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.
NOTE:
● Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and
the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back
and pinch fingers.
● While working in the oven area, cover the hinges
with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent
pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel
on the frame.
To
replace the
special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom
of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the
door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If hinges snap back against the oven frame. pull

TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
Inside of the door:
●
Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during
the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by
hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional
stains when the oven is heated.
● The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a
soap-filled scouring pad.
● Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the
fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely
low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting
oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient
oven operation and good baking results. If you
notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged
in any way or if it has become displaced on the door.
you should have it replaced.
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to
clean the glass on the outside of the door.
● Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces
and basting materials containing acids
may
cause
discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.
When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
● Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Oven Light Replacement
CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb,
disconnect the electrical power for your oven at
the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely
before removing or replacing them. When in use, light
bulbs can become warm enough to break if touched
with a moist cloth or towel. When cleaning, avoid
touching warm lights with cleaning cloths if the light
cover is removed.
