OVEN
• Oven may make banging noises as it
heats and cools. This is a normal condi-
tion.
• Pre-heat the oven thoroughly before use
(20-30 minutes).
• Never use foil to line the oven bottom
or oven racks. This will block the heat
flow and can create a hazard.
• Never place anything directly on the
bottom of the oven cavity. This ob-
structs the airflow and will cause un-
even results.
• Place items on oven racks evenly and
centered for even baking.
• When loading the oven, work as
quickly as possible to prevent loss of
heat.
• When practical, start cooking the lowest
temperature product first and gradually
work up to the higher temperatures.
• Leave a minimum of one inch between
pans on the same rack for even baking.
• Roast meat with the fat side facing up
for self-basting and minimal shrinkage.
CONVECTION OVEN
• As a general rule, the temperature
should be reduced 25ºF to 50ºF from
that used in a standard/conventional
oven. Cooking time may also be
shorter. We suggest closely monitoring
the first batch of each product prepared.
• Cooking times and temperatures will
vary depending upon such factors as
size of the load, temperature, mixture of
products (particularly moisture) and
density of products.
• Keep a record of the times, temperature
and load sizes you establish for various
products. Once you have determined
these, they will be similar for succeed-
ing loads.
• Center pans on racks and load each
shelf evenly to allow for proper air cir-
culation within the cavity.
• When baking, weigh or measure the
product in each pan to assure even
cooking.
• Muffin pans should be placed in the
oven back to front or with the short side
of the pans facing the front. This re-
sults in the most evenly baked product.
• When re-thermalizing frozen casseroles,
preheat the oven 100º over the sug-
gested temperature. Return the cooking
temperature to the normal setting once
the oven is loaded. This will help com-
pensate for the introduction of a large
frozen mass into the cavity.
