Bring 2 quarts of water to boil in 4 quart pot. 2. Drop the fruit in the water for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the skin begins to crack. 3.

Some examples are: pizza, frozen pastries, croissants, cookies, etc. Before baking frozen food, allow the oven to finish preheating.

See page 5 for the location of the connector. • Close the oven door. • The oven will automatically cook the meat until it is done.
Cooking Tips Food Placement High Altitude Cooking NOTE: The rack positions mentioned are counting from the bottom up. Due to the lower atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes, foods tend to take longer to cook. Therefore, recipe adjustments should be made in some cases. In general, no recipe adjustment is necessary for yeast-risen baked goods, although allowing the dough or batter to rise twice before the final pan rising develops a better flavor.
Care and Cleaning Self-Cleaning warning • Do not leave the racks, the meat probe, pots, pans, utensils or any other items in the oven in during self-cleaning. The convection filter must also be removed. Items left in the oven during self-cleaning may be damaged. • You may notice a powder ash residue in the bottom of the oven after self-cleaning. This is normal. Sponge the residue up after the oven completely cools.

Do not use ANY cleaners that are not specified to clean the inside or outside of the oven. Use of other cleaners could produce hazardous fumes, cause corrosion of the metal parts, and could permanently damage the finishes.
Care and Cleaning Installing your oven’s filter(s): • Cleaning the Accessories The metal clips on the back of the filter hook over the metal bar across the fan hole. Place the filter flat against the back of oven above the hole with the clips on the back of the filter pointing down. Be careful not to push the filter too hard against the back wall because the clips can scratch the surface. Gently push the filter straight down over the hole until the clips catch on the metal bar.
Care and Cleaning Optional Baking Stone Optional Cookie Sheets • Wash the optional baking stone with hot water and scrub it clean before you use it for the first time. Do not use any soap or detergents to wash the stone. The stone is porous and soap will get trapped inside. The trapped soap will affect the flavor of the food cooked on it. Don’t be alarmed if the stone gets stains on it after it is used for a while. Stains do not affect the stone’s ability to bake properly.
