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°F
lower than a conventional oven when using convection
bake, thus saving energy. Cooking time is also reduced
by approximately 25 to 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 handgrip, wire racks, baking tray,
rotisserie spit and skewers with soapy water, rinse
with clear water and dry. These parts should be
cleaned and thoroughly dried by hand only.
• 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 minimum of 5 minutes. The oven may emit an
odor. This is normal and should dissipate. NOTE:
This odor is not harmful.
• Turn off the oven and allow it to cool. 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 (see diagram, page 17).
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.
11
• Set the temperature knob as specified in reference
chart, pages 21–22, or according to your recipe.
• Set the timer, if desired, for up to 120 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.
• 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.
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˚F. 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 meats, start checking 20 to 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 rack to desired position.
• Set the function knob to Convection Bake.
• Set the temperature knob to the desired level.
12
• 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.
• 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 Reference Charts on pages 21–23 for
recommended times and oven temperatures.
• Please note that the heating elements work in con-
junction 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.
13
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
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 oven
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 (Fig. 2).
14

Fig. 2
3. Next, install the fixing screws to secure the meat
or poultry to the rotisserie spit.
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.
5. Set the function knob to ROTISSERIE.
6. Place baking tray (drip pan) on lower shelf to catch
the drippings.
7. Set the temperature to 400°F or as specified in
recipe.
8. 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.
9. Use handgrip to remove
rotisserie item from oven
(see Fig. 3).
10. Always use a potholder or
oven mitt when removing
hot food from the oven.
11. NOTE: It is recommended
