Helpful hints
Using the Racks
• The top rack is usually used as a
hold down rack when cooking small
or lightweight foods.
• Unless otherwise specified, when two
racks are shown, food should be
contained or sandwiched between the
top and bottom racks.
• When baking small items, use a
foil-wrapped rack that is pierced with
a few holes.
• Always place food directly on bottom
rack unless otherwise specified.
• Use the bottom rack upper position,
as a rule, when following your own
recipe.
• When cooking individual items i.e.
baked potatoes or chicken fillets,
arrange around outside of rack.
Group lightweight foods together.
• Spraying rack with non stick spray
will make cleanup even easier.
(Do not spray the lid.)
• When preheating, remove bottom
rack. Place food on rack while oven is
heating, then replace quickly to
prevent heat loss.
Caring for Your Fan Blade
• Check fan blade periodically for
flatness by spinning it on a flat
surface. Bent or warped blades will
cause vibrating and/or unusual noise.
Gentle adjusting by pushing down on
the blade (while on a hard, flat
surface) should correct any problems.
If a blade is severely bent and cannot
be realigned, call our toll free number
for assistance.
Preheating
• If a recipe calls for preheating, always
preheat at 400˚HIGH for 2 minutes.
Cooking Semi-Liquids
• Start at LOW speed until surface is
firm enough to prevent movement.
Cooking Bacon
• Cook on LOW speed and use caution
when preparing bacon to avoid steam
burns when lifting the lid.
• When cooking bacon and eggs, put
bacon on bottom rack and cover with
top rack (upside down and flat) and
place eggs on top rack.
Using Cookware
• Use caution when using cookware i.e.
pizza pans with lightweight objects.
Use the top/hold down rack to add
extra weight and eliminate danger of
pans levitating and causing damage to
fan.
Determining Cooking Times
• Use the cooking times in both the
charts and recipes as a guide.
Variables in food size and thickness,
humidity, altitude and your personal
preference for doneness all have
bearing on actual cooking times.
Cooking Baked Products
• Do not preheat when cooking baked
products.
