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 MultiShelf Baking section.

The offset shelf can be placed at any shelf position.

Cookie Sheets

As added convenience for you when using your new convection oven, we have provided three cookie sheets. The two large ones (13” x 17”) are

for use on the flat shelves. The small cookie sheet (10%” x cookie sheets provide uniform baking. They are dishwasher safe. They have an easy grip lip.

Insulated cookie sheets are made of two layers of aluminum with an insulating layer of air. Aluminum is an even baking metal. It is not however, a non-stick surface. Follow your recipe instructions for greasing the pan. Cookies should be removed from the cookie sheet within two or three minutes after they are removed from the oven to keep them from sticking.

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.

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in the grocery

store, to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers can vary by

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

higher 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 BAKE or the CONVECTION ROAST pad instead of the BAKE pad when following the steps under To Adjust Temperature below.

degrees.

We recommend that you use Convection Bake for multi-shelf cooking. For two-shelf baking, place the

offset shelf in the bottom (A) shelf position. Place the straight shelf in the third (C) shelf position. Place the small cookie sheet on the offset rack. Always use a cool cookie sheet.

When baking on three shelves, divide the oven into thirds by placing the offset shelf in the third (C) shelf position and straight shelves in first (A) and fourth (D) shelf position. See the Convection Baking section.

Your insulated cookie sheets can be used for convection baking or regular baking. However,

if you choose not to use Convection Bake for baking cookies and are baking on the insulated cookie sheets, you may find that the recommended baking time needs to be increased 3 to 5 minutes.

To Adjust Temperature: NOTE: The thermostats in the upper and lower

ovens need to be adjusted separately.

What is Convection?

COHCTION

COOmG

In a convection oven. a fan circulates

hot

air

over, under and around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result,

foods are evenly cooked

and browned— often

in less time with convection heat.

Because food is heated faster in a convection oven when using the convection modes, many types of food can be cooked at lower temperatures than those

suggested for regular ovens. Do remember that recipe books often give times and temperatures for cooking in regular ovens. Convection ovens make it possible to reduce the temperature by

25°F.

For more information

on adapting recipes, see the Convection Cookbook.

CAUTION: The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking 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 heating element. The convection fan circulates the roast, here are some general guidelines. heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat

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

tir

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

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

tir

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.

Traditional 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 resistant to temperatures of

400°F.

can also be used.

heat-

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.
