YOUR OVEN
Before Using Your Oven
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand
how to set them properly. Read over the directions
for the Oven Controls so you understand how to
use them.
2. Check the inside of the oven. Look at the shelves.
Take a practice run at removing and replacing them
properly, to give sure, sturdy support.
3. Read over information and tips that follow.
4. Keep this book handy so you can refer to it,
especially during the first weeks of using your
new oven.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that when
placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop
before coming completely from the oven, and will not
tilt when removing food from or placing food on
*
them.
To remove the shelf from the oven, pull it forward to
the stop-locks and lift the front of the shelf. Be certain
that the shelf is cool before touching it.
To replace the shelf in the oven, tilt the shelf up at
the front and slide the curved extension of the shelf
under stop-lock on shelf support. Then slide the shelf
all the way into the oven.
II
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the “stop” position. Place the cookware on the
shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will
eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
Offset Shelf
The offset shelf provides more
cooking space between itself
and the shelf above it. This
allows more flexibility when
placing foods in the oven. See the
Multi-Shelf Baking section.
The offset shelf can be placed at
any shelf position.
To remove the shelf, pull it
forward to the stop-locks and lift
the front of the shelf.
To replace the shelf, tilt the shelf
up at the front and slide the curved
extension of the shelf under
stop-
locks on shelf supports. Then slide
the shelf all the way into the oven.
Shelf Positions
The oven has four shelf supports identified in this
illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).
See the Multi-Shelf baking section for shelf
placement suggestions.
Oven Light
The light comes on automatically when the door
is opened.

Use the pad on the control panel to turn the light on

Adjusting Oven Thermostat
When cooking food for the first time in your new
oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven
thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from
the factory setting and the differences in timing
between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are
not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at the
factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven
which it replaced.
If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you
can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to change
the temperature, set the oven temperature
25°F.

or lower than the temperature in your recipe, then

is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long
periods of time while using Convection Bake 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
food. Preheating is not necessary with foods having
a bake time of over 15 minutes.
In regular or traditional baking, the bottom
heating 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
food cake and bread.
Traditional 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
heating element. The convection fan circulates the
heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat
and poultry are browned an 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.
fiaditional
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
recommended for convection baking.
● Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster
than shiny pans.
● Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are
recommended for use in regular ovens can be used in
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is
heat-
resistant to temperatures of
400°F.
can also be used.
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.
