US~G

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

YOUR OVEN

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.

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

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 locks on shelf supports. Then slide the shelf all the way into the oven.

stop-

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.

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 and off when the door is closed.

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 or lower than the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results of this “test” should give you an idea of how much the temperature should be changed.

The thermostat adjustment for Bake does not affect Convection Bake or Convection Roast. To adjust these, press the CONVECTION the CONVECTION ROAST pad instead of the

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

● 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 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.
