Convection Baking and Roasting

All Platinum™ Series PowR Oven™ are equipped with a Convection Fan. For even more efficient baking and roasting,

you can use your PowR Oven™ with the Convection Fan. If you choose to use the Convection Fan, standard

adjustments in temperature and time are recommended. The Convection Fan will always run at a low speed when the

power burner is on. The fan will run at a high speed when the burner is not lit and if the convection switch on the front

control panel is ON.

Convection Fan Switch

In general, Convection Baking and Roasting takes less time and at lower temperatures than traditional baking or roasting.

TIP

For best results when Convection Baking and Roasting

 Reduce the recommended temperature by 25°F to 50°F.

 Reduce the recommended cooking time.

 Closely monitor the first batch of each new recipe.

 Keep a record of temperature, time and weight for each recipe. Adjust accordingly for the next batch.

 Place baking dishes at the center of racks for maximum air flow, allowing at least 1” between pans.

 Select a baking dish that has no or low sides like a broiler pan so that the air can circulate freely around the food.

 Covered dishes do not benefit from Convection Baking or Roasting.

Operating the Convection Fan in the PowR Oven™

Do not use the Convection Fan to broil.

 Push in and turn the oven control knob counter clockwise to any temperature setting between 150º and 500°F. The

blue oven indicator light will illuminate indicating the oven is on and preheating.

 Although the oven is on, it may take up to one minute for the power burner to ignite. This is normal.

 Do not use the Convection Fan during the initial preheat cycle. Wait until the blue indicator light turns

off, signaling the oven has reached the desired set temperature before turning the convection fan on.

 In about 8 minutes, the blue oven indicator light will turn off, indicating the PowR Oven™ sensor has reached the

desired temperature. However, it will take up to 20 minutes for the PowR Oven™ cavity to be fully preheated at that

temperature.

 The blue indicator light will turn on and off as the oven cycles to maintain the set temperature.

 Turn the Convection Fan switch on the front control panel to ON after the oven has pre-heated and the blue oven

indicator light has turned off. The convection fan can be turned on or off as desired from this point.

You may observe the following during the pre-heating process. All are normal.

 Condensation on the front of the range including the oven door, oven window, control panel and side

panel. It will disappear as the oven heats.

 Popping sounds as the metal in the oven expands

Operating the Infrared Broiler (All Models)

 Keep the oven door closed at all times when lighting and broiling. Open only to insert

or remove food.

 Leaving the oven door open throughout the cooking process could damage range
