About Your

Jenn-Air Oven

Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air wall oven. Your

Jenn-Air convection oven combines the best of two cooking

methods, convection and radiant bake (conventional) baking or
roasting, in a self-cleaning oven.

The Jenn-Air convection oven is actually a conventional oven
that circulates heated air within the oven. As both bake and broil

heating elements cycle on and off with the thermostat, a fan keeps
the heated air circulating around the food.

The constantly recirculating heated air in the convection oven
strips away the layer of cooler air that surrounds food. Conse-

quently, many foods cook more quickly. Distributed heat makes
multiple rack cooking possible. Convection roasted meats retain
their natural flavor and juiciness with less shrinkage than radiant

bake roasting.

In addition to the many exclusive benefits of convection cook-
ing, your oven is also a fine full-featured "bake and broil" oven.

You can cook your "old favorite" recipes as you have in the past.
The radiant bake oven also gives you the flexibility of preparing
various foods when convection cooking may not be as beneficial,

as when cooking foods in covered casseroles or clay pots.
The broil element is convenient for top browning and oven broiling

of foods. _..__

The time bake feature can be used with either the convection

or radiant bake oven.
Before you begin cooking with your new oven, please take a few

minutes to read and become familiar with the instructions in this
book. On the following pages you will find a wealth of information

regarding all aspects of using your new oven. By following the
instructions carefully, you will be able to fully enjoy and properly

maintain your oven and achieve excellent results with the food

you prepare.
Should you have any questions about using your Jenn-Air oven

or need a use and care manual, write to us. Be sure to provide

the model number.

SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

Read before operating your oven

All appliances -- regardless of the manufacturer -- have the
potential through improper or careless use to create safety prob-

lems. Therefore the following safety precautions should be
observed:

1. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician.

2. Never use you r appliance for warming or heating the room.

3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in area
where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to

sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance.

5. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing

should be referred to an authorized Jenn-Air Service
Contractor.

6. Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven.

7. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or
use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

8. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot

-.-- surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel

or other bulky cloth.

9. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.

10. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pres-
sure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

11. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.

12. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let

potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

13. Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a
good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or

move the gasket.

14. Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or
oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in

or around any part of the oven.

15. Clean only parts listed in this manual.

16. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan and other

utensils.

17. Listen for fan. A fan noise should be heard during the broil

and cleaning cycles. If not, call a serviceman before self-
cleaning again.

18. DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR

SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even

though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of any oven

become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns--
among these surfaces are: oven vent openings and sur-

faces near these openings, oven doors, windows of oven
doors.

Baking

General Baking Recommendations

• When cooking foods for the first time in your new oven, use recipe cooking
times and temperatures as a guide.

• Use tested recipes from reliable sources.

• Preheat the oven only when necessary. For baked foods that rise and
for richer browning, a preheated oven is better. Casseroles can be started
in a cold oven. Preheating takes from 5 to 9 minutes; place food in oven

after PRE Indicator Word cycles off.

• Arrange oven racks before turning on oven. Follow suggested rack posi-
tions on page 11 and in the various baking charts, v

• Allow about 1 to 11/2inches of space between the oven side walls and
pans for proper air circulation.

• When baking foods in more than one pan, place them on opposite corners
of the rack. Stagger pans when baking on two racks so that one pan

does not shield another. (See above photo.)

• To conserve energy, avoid frequent or prolonged door openings. At the
end of cooking, turn oven off before removing food.

• Always test for doneness (fingertip, toothpick, sides pulling away from
pan). Do not rely on time or brownness as only indicators.

• Use good quality baking pans and the size recommended in the recipe.

• Dull, dark, enameled or glass pans will generally produce a brown, crisp
crust. Shiny metal pans produce a light, golden crust.

• Frozen pies in shiny aluminum pans should be baked on a cookie sheet
on rack 2 or be removed to a dull or glass pan.

NOTE W276 OWNERS: A cooling fan will cycle on and off intermittently during
baking and roasting. The fan may also continue to operate after the oven is turned

off.

Convection Baking Recommendations

• As a general rule, when using recipes or prepared mixes developed for a radiant
bake oven, set the oven temperature 25 ° F lower than the recipe recommended

temperature. Times will be similar to or a few minutes less than recipe recom-

mended times. The chart on page 15 compares times and temperatures of
many baked foods. Use this as a reference.

• For better browning, large pans such as cookie sheets or rectangular baking

pans should be placed lengthwise, front to back, on the rack. This centers
the food in front of the convection fan for better air circulation which gives
better overall browning. (See above photo.)

• Cookie sheets should be without sides and made of shiny aluminum. The

best size to use for cookie sheets is 14" x 10" (overall size, includes handles).

Convection Baking of Frozen
Convenience Foods

• Preheating the oven is not necessary.

• Follow package recommendations for oven temperature, foil covering and use

of cookie sheets. Baking times will be similar. See chart below for some exceptions
and examples.

• Center foods in the oven. If more than one food item is being baked or if
foods are being baked on multiple racks, stagger foods for proper air circulation.

• Most foods are baked on rack position #3o.

• For multiple rack baking, use racks #1, 30, and 4. However, pizzas should be
placed on cookie sheets and baked on rack positions #20, 3, and 4.

Convection Cooking on Multiple Racks

For best results, bake foods on one rack at a time as described in this manual. However,
very good results can be obtained when baking quantities of foods on multiple racks.
Quantity cooking provides both time and energy savings.

The convection oven is suggested for most multiple rack cooking, especially three
rack cooking, because the circulating heated air results in more even browning than
radiant. For two rack cooking, the radiant bake oven provides good baking results
especially when pans can be staggered, such as with layer cakes.

Many foods can be prepared on three racks at the same time. These are just a few
examples: cookies, cupcakes, rolls, biscuits, muffins, pies, frozen convenience foods,

pizzas, appetizers, and snack foods.
To obtain the best results in multiple rack cooking, follow these suggestions:

• Use temperature and times in this manual as a guide for best results.

• For two rack baking, rack positions #2o and 4 are best for most baked products
but positions #2 and 4 also provide acceptable results.

• For three rack baking use positions #1, 30, and 4. One exception is pizza (see
page 17).

• Since foods on positions #1 and 4 will usually be done before foods on position

#30, additional cooking time will be needed for browning foods on the middle

rack. An additional minute is needed for thin foods such as cookies. For foods

such as biscuits, rolls, or muffins, allow 1 to 2 more minutes. Frozen pies and
pizzas, which should be baked on a cookie sheet, need about 2 to 4 more

minutes.

• Stagger small pans, such as layer cake pans, in the oven.

• Cookie sheets should be placed lengthwise, front to back, in front of the fan

for more even browning.

• Frozen pies in shiny aluminum pans should be placed on cookie sheets and
baked on rack positions #1, 30, and 4.

• Oven meals are recommended for energy conservation. Use rack positions #1
and 30 or #20 and 4.

18

_ Roasting

General Roasting Recommendations

• Preheating is not necessary.

• For open pan roasting, place meat or poultry on the slotted portion of the
two-piece pan included with the oven. Do not add water to the pan. Use open

pan roasting for tender cuts of meat. Less tender cuts of meat need to be
cooked by moist heat in a covered pan.

• For best results, a meat thermometer or probe is the most accurate guide
to degree of doneness. The tip of thermometer or probe should be located

in the thickest part of a roast, not touching fat, bone, or gristle. For turkeys
and large poultry products, insert the tip of the thermometer or probe into

the thickest part of the inner thigh.

• Place roast fat side up to allow self basting of meat during roasting.

• Since meats continue to cook after being removed from the oven, remove
roast from oven when it reaches an internal temperature about 5degrees below

the temperature desired.

• For less loss of juices and easier carving, allow about 15 minutes "standing
time" after removing meat from oven.

• For best results in roasting poultry, thaw completely. Due to the structure of
poultry, partially thawed poultry will cook unevenly.

Radiant Bake Roasting Recommendations

• If preferred, tender cuts of meat can be roasted in the radiant bake oven by
following the general recommendations given above. However, meats will roast
more quickly in the convection oven.

• Radiant bake is best for less tender cuts of meat that require a longer, moist
heat method of cooking. Follow your recipe for times and temperatures for

covered meats.

• Meats cooked in cooking bags, dutch ovens, or covered roasting pans are

best cooked in the radiant bake oven.

• Use meat roasting charts in standard cookbooks for recommended times and
temperatures for roasting in a radiant bake oven.

NOTE W276 OWNERS" A cooling fan will cycle on and off intermittently during baking
and roasting. The fan may also continue to operate after the oven is turned off.

Convection Roasting Recommendations

• Tender cuts of meat and poultry can be quickly roasted to a rich golden brown
in the convection oven. Follow general recommendations for roasting.

• Refer to convection meat roasting chart for recommended cooking tempera-
ture and time. The chart can serve as a guide to help plan meal serving time.

• Minutes per pound will vary according to the size, shape, quality, and initial
temperature of meat as well as the electrical voltage in your area. Times are
based on refrigerator cold meat.

• A large cut of meat will usually require fewer minutes per pound to roast
than a smaller cut of meat.

• Do not use a roasting pan with high sides; use pan provided with oven.

• Do not cover meat. Allow the circulating hot air to surround the meat and

seal in the juices.

• Since the breast meat on a large turkey cooks more quickly than the thigh

area, place a "foil cap" over the breast area after desired brownness is reached
to prevent overbrowning. (See above photo.)

• A stuffed turkey will require an extra 30 - 60 minutes depending on size. Stuffing

should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Convection Roasting: Frozen to Finish

Meats (except poultry) may be roasted frozen to finish. Follow these guidelines

for the most satisfactory results.

• Use temperatures for roasting fresh meats as recommended by most cook-
books. Generally, most meats are roasted at 325°F. For best results do not

use temperatures below 300°F.

• Use times for roasting fresh meats as given in your favorite cookbooks as

approximate guides for roasting frozen meats. Roasting times will vary due
to factors such as coldness of meat, size, quality, or cut. In general, roasting
times for frozen to finish in the convection oven will be approximately the

same as fresh to finish in a radiant bake oven.

• The guidelines given for roasting fresh meats in the convection oven also
apply to roasting frozen meats.

• Insert meat thermometer or probe midway during the cooking process.

Hints on Successful Use of
the Probe Feature

• The probe should be located in the center of the thickest part of a roast. Plan
the placement of the probe tip by laying it on the outside of the meat, marking

with finger where edge of meat comes on the probe. Insert probe into thickest
part of muscle up to the marking held by finger.

• Tip of probe should not touch fat, bone or gristle.

• For turkeys and large poultry products, insert probe into the thickest part of
the inner thigh. Because of variables in cooking poultry, such as size and shape,

use the thermometer as a guide to the degree of doneness but also use conven-
tional methods, squeezing or wiggling drumstick, to test for doneness.

• Because of the excellent insulation of the oven, the retained heat continues
to cook the meat after the signal has sounded and the oven has cycled off.
For this reason, it is important to remove the meat from the oven as soon

as the signal sounds.

...... • Meats continue to cook after being removed from the oven. As a suggestion,

set the internal temperature 5 degrees below the desired final degree of doneness.

Allow the "standing time" before carving (15 to 20 minutes) to finish cooking
the food.

• Use the roasting chart on page 21 as a guide to the length of cooking time

to help plan meal serving time for meats roasted in the convection oven.

• Use the handle of the probe for inserting or removing. Do not pull on the cable.
Use a potholder to remove since probe becomes hot.

• For frozen roast, insert probe after 11/2to 2 hours.

• Probe feature can be used to register internal temperature of other foods, such

as meat loaf.

• To clean cooled probe, wipe with a soapy dishcloth. Do not submerge probe
in water.

Broiling Tips

• Tender cuts of meat or marinated meats are best for broiling. This includes

........ or fish. For best results, steaks should be at least 1" thick. Thinner steaks should

.... SausagePatties 40 4 3

rib and loin cuts of steak, ground beef, ham steaks, lamb chops, poultry pieces

be pan-broiled.

• Do not cover broiler grid with foil since this prevents fat drippings from draining
into bottom of pan.

• Before broiling, remove excess fat from meat and score edges of fat (do not
cut into meat) to prevent meat from curling. Salt after cooking.

• To prevent dry surface on fish or lean meats, brush melted butter on top.

• Foods that require turning should be turned only once during broiling. Turn
meat with tongs to avoid piercing and loss of juices.

Oven Cleaning

How the Self-Cleaning Process Works

When the oven controls are set to CLEAN, the oven heats to temperatures that are

higher than those used for cooking. The high temperatures cause food soil to burn
off and substantially disappear. While this occurs, a device in the oven vent helps

to consume smoke.

NOTE W256 OWNERS: Both ovens cannot be self-cleaned at the same time.

How to Prepare Oven Before
Operating the Self-Cleanlng Process

• Be sure metal cover plate is covering the receptacle for the probe.

• Remove the roasting pan and any other utensils from the oven. These utensils
cannot withstand the high temperatures of the cleaning process.

• Clean spatters and spills from those areas
which will not be cleaned during the self-
cleaning process:

--center front of oven and door near open-
ing in door gasket.

--porcelain oven door liner (area outside

the door gasket). (See photo at right.)

--stainless steel oven front frame.

NOTE: DO NOT CLEAN the serial plate

located on the oven front.

To clean these areas, use hot water and
detergent, nonabrasive cleansers or soap

filled steel wool pads (rub with the brushed
grain on the oven front frame to prevent
scratching). Rinse thoroughly, being care-

ful not to use an excessive amount of water
that would dampen the door gasket. Soil

left in these areas will be more difficult to
remove after the self-cleaning process since

the high heat will bake on any soil that is

present. DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL

OVEN CLEANERS TO CLEAN THESE
AREAS.

• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN, RUB, OR APPLY WATER TO GASKET ON
OVEN DOOR. The gasket is essential for a good door seal. Rubbing or cleaning

will damage the gasket and may affect the seal.

• Wipe up excess grease and food spillovers which have not baked on the bottom
of the oven. Large accumulations of soil can cause heavy smoke or fire in
the oven during the cleaning process.

• Although smoke or fire in the oven is a normal occurrence and there is no
safety problem, there will be excessive venting of smoke and odor.

28

• The oven racks can be cleaned in the oven. However, the oven racks will
discolor, lose shininess, and become difficult to slide in and out if left in the
oven during the cleaning process. REMOVE RACKS FROM OVEN IF THIS

DISCOLORATION WILL BE OBJECTIONABLE. As a suggestion, do not leave

........ the racks in the oven during each self-cleaning process if they do not need

to be cleaned since they will discolor to a dull silver after many cleanings.
Moderately soiled racks can be cleaned with a soapy S.O.S. pad or Scotch-
Brite scour-pad. Stubborn stains need to be removed in the self-cleaning
process. Be sure to read special tips on page 32 if oven racks are cleaned
during the self-cleaning process.

More Information on the
Self-Cleaning Process

• A slight odor may be detected, and if an oven is heavily soiled, some smoke ......

may be visible. Some smoke and odor during the cleaning process is a normal

occurrence. Since the oven is vented in the front, vapors, moisture, etc. may
be seen coming from this area.

• During the cleaning process, do not be alarmed if an occasional flame is visible

through the oven window. This is caused by excessive food soil that was not
removed before the oven was set to clean.

• SINCE THE DOOR AND WINDOW OF THE OVEN WILL GET WARM DURING
THE SELF-CLEANING PROCESS, AVOID CONTACT.

• Some types of soil may disintegrate but leave a light film or heavier deposit
of ash. The amount of ash depends on the amount of soil which was in the

oven. After oven has cooled, this ash may be removed with a damp sponge.
If other dark deposits remain after wiping with a sponge, the time set for the
length of cleaning was not enough. Increase the cleaning time for future
cleanings or clean more frequently. The normal cleaning time is 21/2hours.
A maximum of 4 hours may be selected if necessary.

• If racks have been left in oven during the cleaning process, they should be

treated as follows. After the cleaning process is completed and the oven has
cooled, buff the underside of rack edges with Scotch-Brite scour-pad or rub
lightly the underside of rack edges with a coating of vegetable oil. Use a light

application of oil so it does not soil the oven. As a suggestion, use fingertips
to apply oil. This will make the cleaned racks slide more easily.

• To remove occasional spillovers between cleanings, use a soap-filled scouring
pad or mild cleanser; rinse well.

• It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than wait until there is a heavy
build-up of soil in the oven.

• During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help

eliminate normal odors associated with cleaning.

• DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS.

• DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL OR OTHER LINERS IN THE OVEN.

..... Caring for Your Oven

Other Hints on

Cleaning Other Surfaces of Your Oven

Door and control panel trim: The metal trim around the door and the control panel

can be cleaned with any nonabrasive cleansers such as Bon Ami or soapy water; rinse well.
Be careful not to use an excessive amount of water.

Glass on the oven door front: To clean, use any suitable glass cleaner or soapy water.
To prevent moisture from getting behind the glass control panel, spray a cloth with glass cleaner
then wipe the panel.

Control Knob: Control knob can be removed for cleaning. Wash in warm soapy water.

Match the "D" shaped hole in the knob to the "D" shaft when replacing.

Control Panel: Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use cleaning sprays, large
amounts of soap and water, abrasives, or sharp objects on the panel--they can damage it.

Oven Racks

To remove, pull forward to the "Stop" position;
lift up on the front of the rack and pull out.

.... Oven Light Bulb

Before replacing bulb, disconnect power to oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be
sure that the entire oven cavity including the light bulb is cool before attempting to remove.

To replace light bulb:

1. Carefully remove the glass light lens and lens retainer
by removing the two screws in the light lens retainer

using a phillips screwdriver. Note: The light lens is
separate from the light lens retainer. The two pieces will

drop down into your hands at the same time. Do NOT

remove the remaining two screws.

2. To obtain firm grasp on bulb, wear protective rubber
gloves. Remove by turning bulb to the left. Do not touch

a hot oven fight bulb with a damp cloth as bulb will
break. Note: If the bulb does break and you wish to

remove it, be certain power supply is disconnected and
wear protective gloves. You may contact your authorized

Jenn-Air Service Contractor for service.

3. Replace bulb with a 40 watt oven-rated appliance bulb.

Bulb with brass base is recommended to prevent fusing

of bulb into socket.

4. Place light lens inside of light lens retainer. Holding the

light lens and lens retainer in place, insert the two screws
into the light lens retainer and tighten.

33

Before You Call

for Service ....

Check the following list to be sure a service call is really necessary. A quick reference
of this manual as well as reviewing additional information on items to check, may

prevent an unneeded service call.

If nothing on the oven operates:

• check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker.

• check if oven is properly connected to electric circuit in house.

If clock, indicator words, and/or lighCs operate but oven does
not heat:

• the controls may have been set incorrectly.

• clock controls may be set for delayed start of oven.

If the oven light does not work:

• the light bulb is loose or defective.

• oven light does not work during self-cleaning process.

If oven will not go through self-cleaning process:
