COWECTION COO~NG What is Convection? In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooke and browned— often in less time with convection heat. Because food is heated faster in a convection oven when using the convection modes, many types of food can be cooked at lower temperatures than those suggested for regular ovens.
CO~CTION BA~G Adapting Recipes For Convection Baking Use the temperature called for in your recipe. You may find that you need to reduce it by 25°F., depending on the type of food you are cooking. Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes. Check foods for doneness at the minimum suggested cooking time. Use pan size recommended in the recipe. For more information on adapting recipes, see the Convection Cookbook.

CO~CTION ROASTmG Meats cooked in a convection oven are dark brown on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. In most cases, cooking time will be less when using the Convection Roast feature. Sometimes cooking time is reduced by 10 minutes per hour. To make sure the meat is cooked the way you want it, we recommend using the temperature probe provided with the oven. The special roasting rack and pan allow heated air to circulate over and under the meat. This allows the meat to brown on all sides.
How to Set Your Oven for Convection Roasting When Using the Temperature Probe The display will flash “Probe” and beep if the probe is inserted into the outlet but the oven is not programmed for the probe. 1. Place the offset shelf in the lowest position (A). Insert the probe into meat. 2. Plug the probe into the outlet on the oven wall. M&e sure it is pushed all the way in. Close the oven door. 3.

BAmG For best baking results, follow these suggestions: Oven Shelves Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the desired locations while the oven is cool. The correct shelf position depends on the kind of food and the Y w browning desired. As a general rule, place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either the second or third shelf from the bottom. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.
BA~G (continued) Baking Guides When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for the best baking results. Cookies When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur. Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven.
ROASTmG Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum. 1. Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating is necessary. 2. Check the weight of the meat. Place it, fat side up, (or for poultry breast-side-up) on a trivet in a shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as possible.
ROAST~G WITH T~ PROBE See the Roasting Guide. Correct Placement of the Temperature Probe For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe takes the guesswork out of roasting by cooking foods to the exact doneness you want. When the internal temperature of the food reaches the temperature you set, the oven automatically shuts off.

ROAST~G WITH THE PROBE (continued) Questions and Answers Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat thermometer? A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the completion of cooking time is recommended if you did not use the probe while cooking. Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the cooking time has passed. Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to carve it? A.
BROmmG Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper broil unit in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum. 1. If meat has fat or gristle near edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart. If desired, fat may be trimmed, leaving layer about 1/8 inch thick. 2. Place meat on broiler grid in broiler pan.
BRO~ING (continued) Use of Aluminum Foil You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid. Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling. Questions and Answers Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a grid in the pan? A. Yes.
BRO~~G GU~E 1. Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan. 2. The oven door should be open to the broil stop position. 3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing juices. 4.
OPEMT~G T~ SELF-CLEANmG OWN (Normal Cleaning Time: 3 hours) Before a Clean Cycle Quick Reminder: 1. Prepare the oven for cleaning. 2. Close the oven door. 3. Press the CLEAN pad. 4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set clean time. 1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven— they cannot withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

Allow additional time for cooling before you try to set the cycle. 1. Follow directions to prepare the oven for cleaning. 12. Press the CLEAN pad.
OPEMT~G T~ SELF-CLEANmG OWN (continued) After Self-Cleaning You may notice some white ash in the oven. Just wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools. If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually a sdt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle. If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, repeat the cycle.
Questions and Answers Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time of day, can I still self-clean my oven? A. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day you will not be able to set a delay clean to end at a specific time. Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part of my self-cleaning oven? A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any part of this oven.
CAm Am CLEAN~G Proper care and cleaning are important so your oven will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for your oven to assure safe and proper maintenance. Broiler Pan and Grid After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the grease in the pan into a proper container. Wash, scour if necessary with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad, in hot, soapy water.
Oven Door The oven door is removable but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door. To remove the door, open it a few inches to the special stop position that will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges. NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers. To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the special stop position.
CAm Am CLEAN~G (continued) Probe The temperature probe may be cleaned with soap and water or a soap-filled scouring pad. Cool the temperature probe before cleaning. Scour stubborn spots with a soap-filled scouring pad, rinse and dry. Do not immerse the temperature probe in water. Do not store the temperature probe in the oven. CLEAN~G GU~E NOTE: Let oven parts cool before touching or handling. PART Bake Unit and Broil Unit MATERIALS TO USE GENERAL DIRECTIONS Do not clean the bake unit or broil unit.
