To cook, do the following:
1. Turn the oven ON using the Power Switch at the bottom of the control panel.
2. Select the desired fan speed using the Fan Speed switch. The appropriate fan speed (HI or
LOW) depends on the type of food being cooked.
3. Switch the Fan Mode switch to COOK. The fan will run continuously when the oven doors are
closed (the fan does not cycle on and off with the burners). (If this switch is set to COOL the only
difference is that the fan will continue to run when the oven doors are open.)
4. Set the cooking temperature by turning the Cook Temperature Control until the indicator mark
on the knob is pointed to the desired cooking temperature. The Heat On indicator will light when
the burners are on, and will remain on while the oven preheats.
5. Wait until the Heat On indicator has come on and gone out three times. At that time the oven
will have reached the set cooking temperature.
6. Open the oven doors, load the product into the oven, and close the doors.
7. You can use the Cook Timer as a reminder of when the remove the load from the oven. If so
desired, turn the Cook Timer knob until the indicator mark points to the desired cooking time (up to
55 minutes). The timer knob will rotate counterclockwise as the timer runs down, indicating how
much time remains. You can turn the knob while cooking to increase or decrease the remaining
time. When the timer runs out, a buzzer will sound for a short time, then turn itself off. (To
immediately silence the buzzer, turn the Cook Timer knob to the OFF position.) The timer is a
reminder to you; the timer does not control the oven.
If you open the oven doors, the burners and fan will shut off until the doors are closed. However,
the timer will continue running even if the doors are open.
To turn on the interior oven lights, use the switch located at the bottom of the control panel.
8. When the load has finished cooking, you can rapidly cool the load by opening the oven doors
(which will shut off the burners) and switching the Fan Mode to COOL (which will cause the fan to
run even though the doors are open). For the most rapid cooling, also switch the Fan Speed
switch to HI.
9. When you are done cooking, turn the Cook Temperature control to the lowest setting (fully
counterclockwise) and switch the Power Switch to OFF.
COOKING HINTS
In a convection oven, the fan-blown circulating air strips away this insulating layer allowing the
heat to penetrate faster for quicker baking and roasting. Hence, in a convection oven cooking
procedures and techniques may require some modification for successful results. As a general
rule, the cooking time will be shorter and the cooking temperature will be 25°F to 75°F lower than
those called for in recipes for a standard oven.
