While cooking, if the door is opened on a convection oven, the fan and heat will temporarily stop until the door is closed.
HEAVY DUTY SERIES SECTIONAL RANGE OPERATION SUGGESTIONS FOR COOKING USING A CONVECTION OVEN As a guide, set oven temperatures 25 to 50 degrees lower than called for in recipes using conventional (nonconvection) ovens. FROZEN ENTREE PRODUCTS: Punch holes in lid before heating. Tent lid if product has a tendency to stick, i.e., lasagna or macaroni and cheese. Use manufacturer’s convection oven directions for time and temperature or reduce conventional oven temperature 50 degrees for a 6-1/2 size pan load.
OPERATION HEAVY DUTY SERIES SECTIONAL RANGE CORRECTING PROBLEMS WHEN COOKING WITH A CONVECTION OVEN If… then… Cakes are dark on the sides and not done in the center… lower oven temperature. Cake edges are too brown… reduce number of pans or lower oven temperature. Cakes have light outer color… raise temperature. Cake settles slightly in the center… bake longer or raise oven temperature slightly. Do not open doors too often for long periods.
HEAVY DUTY SERIES SECTIONAL RANGE CLEANING & MAINTENANCE CLEANING & MAINTENANCE WARNING Shut off the gas supply to the appliance before cleaning or performing maintenance on any gas appliance. The appliance may be equipped with a restraint device to limit its movement in order to prevent damage to the gas connection.
