GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For your protection, the Waring Pro™Professional
Convection oven is supplied with a molded 3-prong
grounding-type plug and should be used in combination
with a properly connected grounding-type outlet as shown
in figure A. If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an
adapter, shown in Figure B, may be obtained so that a
2-slot wall outlet can be used with a 3-prong plug. As
shown in Figure C, the adapter must be grounded by
attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the outlet
cover plate. CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be
determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly
grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never
use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.
Note: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada.
INTRODUCTION
The Waring Pro™Convection Oven takes countertop
cooking to a whole new level. Convection baking uses a
hot air fan to circulate heated air, maintaining the selected
temperature throughout the oven cavity. This constant flow
of air eliminates the hot and cold spots often found in
conventional ovens. Because the temperature remains
consistent, you can set this oven approximately 25° lower
than a conventional oven when using convection bake,
thus saving energy. Cooking time is also reduced by
approximately 25–30%. Use your convection oven to roast
meat or whole chickens, bake cakes, cookies and more.
Safe and easy to use. Exceptionally quick to clean. It’s a
better way to cook!

BEFORE USING YOUR OVEN
Before using your oven for the first time, be sure to:
• Wash the handle, wire racks, baking tray, rotisserie
10
spit and skewers with soapy water, rinse with clear
water and dry.
• Use a damp cloth to lightly wipe the inner walls of
the oven. Use a small amount of detergent, but
don’t use a spray or abrasive polishing agent. Do
not touch the electric heating tubes and do not soak
the inside of the oven with water.
• Place the wire racks, baking tray and rotisserie spit
and skewers inside the oven.
• Preheat the oven. First close the oven door and then
preheat the oven at the highest temperature for a
mimimum of 5 minutes. The oven may emit an odor.
This is normal and should dissipate. Note: This odor
is not harmful.
• Turn off the heating elements. Remove any smoke
residue inside the oven with a damp cloth.
• Do not block the exhaust vents.
FUNCTION GUIDELINES
Bake
Your convection oven is equipped with two wire racks
and has three rack positions. The racks can be easily
removed and arranged at various levels. For best results
when using the oven for conventional baking, do not use
more than one rack at a time.
• Set the Function knob to Bake.
• Set the Temperature knob as specified in reference
chart or according to your recipe.
• Set the Timer, if desired, for up to 1 hour and 20
minutes. If the baking time is less than 20 minutes,
first turn the timer clockwise past the 20-minute mark
and turn it back to the desired time. If a longer baking
time is required, turn the timer directly to the desired
time.
11
• If not using the timer, set timer to OVEN ON position.
• Always use a potholder or oven mitt when removing
hot food from the oven.
NOTE: Layer cake mixes can be baked one layer at a time
in an 8- or 9-inch round pan or all of the mix in a 3-inch
deep, 9-inch round bundt or springform pan.
Convection Bake
The general rule for using most regular baking recipes with
a convection oven is to reduce the temperature given in the
recipe by 25˚. For roasting larger items such as meats or
roasts, use the same temperature as indicated, but reduce
the cooking time.
In any case, always check your baked items 10 minutes
before cooking time indicates. For larger roasted items
such as a meats, start checking 20–40 minutes before
stated cooking time is reached.
With convection baking, the key is the airflow. Avoid using
baking dishes with high sides. For example, even when
baking cookies, try to use a cookie sheet with no sides.
For roasting meats use shallow baking trays as opposed to
large, high-sided roasting pans. For the same reason you'll
want to avoid cooking anything with a lid when you use the
convection feature as the lid blocks the airflow.
• Set the Function knob to Convection Bake.
• Set the Temperature knob to the desired level.
• Set the Timer, if desired. If the baking time is less
than 20 minutes, first turn the timer clockwise past
the 20-minute mark and turn it back to the desired
time.
If a longer baking time is required, turn the timer
directly to the desired time. If not using the timer
set timer to OVEN ON position.
12
• If required to catch drips, place the baking tray one
level below the wire rack. The tray and the rack
should be set at different levels for satisfactory air
convection.
• When you are using the baking tray, in particular in
position 1 (bottom rack position), make sure the tray
is centered so that you have an air passageway in the
back as well as the front of the oven.
• Always use a potholder or oven mitt when removing
hot food from the oven.
• See Cooking Reference Chart 5 on pages 22–23 for
recommended times and oven temperatures.
• Please note that the heating elements work in
conjunction with the convection fan. They will
cycle on and off simultaneously.
Rotisserie
When using the rotisserie function always use the baking
tray lined with foil in position 1 (bottom rack position) to
catch any drips. When using the rotisserie function, always
begin with a cold oven.
Tying meats ensures even cooking. It is important to use
butcher’s twine to tie items that are to be prepared for the
rotisserie function before securing them to rotisserie spit.
First tie the items and then secure the rotisserie spit and
skewers.
It is especially crucial to truss all poultry
with butcher’s twine before securing to
rotisserie spit.
Trussing a chicken
There are different methods of trussing
but all are basically designed to achieve
the same results.
Tuck the wings underneath the chicken to secure them.
For trussing, use a length of butcher's twine that is
13
approximately 4 or 5 times the length of
the chicken. Place the middle of the twine
under the tail, bring both sides up and
cross over the top of the tail. Wrap ends
of the twine around the end of each
drumstick and pull to draw the legs
together, crossing ends over each
other again.
Turn the bird over. Pull ends of twine up over the thighs
and wrap around the upper wings, catching the tips of the
wings in the loop. The twine is wrapped around the wing
close to the body, and then both ends are brought to the
upper side. If there is a flap of skin at the neck, it is folded
up and the two ends of twine are tied over it.
To ensure a crispy skin, leave door
ajar for last 15 minutes of cooking
time.
Please follow diagrams below when
using the rotisserie function.
1. First insert the rotisserie spit into
the food for rotisserie (Fig 1).
2. Insert the skewers at different
angles to hold the food
more firmly.
3. Next, install the fixing screws
to secure the meat or poultry
to the rotisserie spit (Fig. 2).
4. Place rotisserie spit with food
affixed into cold oven. Note:
The ends of the rotisserie spit
are marked with L for left side and R for right side of
oven. Use this as a guide for inserting into rotisserie
sockets (Fig. 3).

TIPS AND HINTS
• It is important to rotate any item you are baking in
the oven to ensure even cooking.
• It is recommended to bake one rack at a time. If you
do bake with more than one rack, be sure to rotate
both the baking tray and the rack positions halfway
through bake time.
• To ensure even flow of air when using baking tray or
other utensils, do not slide tray to the back of oven.
Leave about 1 to 2 inches of air space around all
sides of each pan for even air circulation.
17
• Make sure the wire racks are in the desired position
before you turn on the oven.
• Bake on the shortest time suggested and check for
doneness before adding more time. Baked goods
are done when a stainless steel knife inserted into
the center of the baked item comes out clean.
• See Baking Reference Chart on pages 22–23 for
recommended baking times and temperatures.
• When baking pastry, browning is most successful
when you use metallic bakeware as opposed to
glass or ceramic.
• Both the convection bake, roast and the rotisserie
functions create the finest tastes in meats and poultry with minimal ingredients and simple preparation.
One easy rule of thumb to create a quick and easy
meal is to match a type of meat, poultry or fish with
complementary fresh herbs, a touch of olive oil, and
some salt and pepper. Simply chop some garlic and
a handful or two of a fresh herb, and mix with some
olive oil. Rub on the meat or fish and allow to
marinate if time allows (for at least a half hour).
Either way, right before placing item in the oven,
sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Some examples of potential flavor
combinations are:
Poultry: rosemary, thyme, basil, garlic, lemon
Beef: oregano, rosemary, thyme, mustard, garlic
Lamb: rosemary, garlic
Pork: sage, garlic
Fish: cilantro, basil, citrus
