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
around food.
Regular Roast
● Less tender cuts of meat because these need to cook
a long time in liquid to become tender.

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
shiny pans.
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

“When baking cookies, you will get the best results

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.
