About YourOven Jenn-Air Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air wall oven. Your Jenn-Air convection oven combines the best of two cooking methods, convection and radiant bake (conventional) baking or roasting. (Note: Only Models W136, W206, WM227, WM236 have the convection option.) The Jenn-Air convection oven is actually a conventional oven that circulates heated air within the oven.

Balulng General Baking Recommendations • When cooking foods for the first time in your new oven, use recipe cooking times and temperatures as a guide. • Use tested recipes from reliable sources. • Preheat the oven only when necessary. For baked foods that rise and for richer browning, a preheated oven is better. Casseroles can be started in a cold oven. Preheating takes from 5 to 9 minutes; place food in oven after BAKE INDICATOR LIGHT cycles off. • Arrange oven racks before turning on oven.

Convection Baking Recommendations (Selected Models Only) • As a general rule, when using recipes or prepared mixes developed for a radiant bake oven, set the oven temperature 25 ° F lower than the recipe recommended temperature. Times will be similar to or a few minutes less than recipe recommended times. The chart on page 14 compares times and temperatures of many baked foods. Use this as a reference.
Convection Cooking on Multiple Racks (Selected Models Only) For best results, bake foods on one rack at a time as described in this manual. However, very good results can be obtained when baking quantities of foods on multiple racks. Quantity cooking provides both time and energy savings. The convection oven is suggested for most multiple rack cooking, especially three rack cooking, because the circulating heated air results in more even browning than radiant.
Roasting General Roasting Recommendations • Preheating is not necessary. • For open pan roasting, place meat or poultry on the slotted portion of the two-piece pan included with the oven. Do not add water to the pan. Use open pan roasting for tender cuts of meat. Less tender cuts of meat need to be cooked by moist heat in a covered pan. • For best results, a meat thermometer is the most accurate guide to degree of doneness.
Convection Roasting Recommendations (Selected Models Only) • Tender cuts of meat and poultry can be roasted to a rich golden brown in the convection oven. Follow general recommendations for roasting. • Refer to convection meat roasting chart for recommended cooking temperature and time. The chart can serve as a guide to help plan meal serving time. • Minutes per pound will vary according to the size, shape, quality, and initial temperature of meat as well as the electrical voltage in your area.

Broiling The broil element provides flexibility for broiling foods. If you have a Jenn-Air grill, we recommend you use the grill for most of your broiling.

Turn are to be used only as a guide. • The oven has a variable broil feature which means that the broiling temperature can be varied by selecting a lower temperature setting on the TEMPERATURE knob.
Oven Cleaning How the Self-Cleaning Process Works When the oven knobs are set to CLEAN, the oven heats to temperatures that are higher than those used for cooking. The high temperatures cause food soil to burn off and substantially disappear. While this occurs, a device in the oven vent helps to consume smoke. The oven is vented through an opening on top of the control panel.
• The oven racks can be cleaned in the oven. However, the oven racks will discolor, lose shininess, and become more difficult to slide in and out if left in the oven during the cleaning process. REMOVE RACKS FROM OVEN IF THIS DISCOLORATION WILL BE OBJECTIONABLE. As a suggestion, do not leave the racks in the oven during each self-cleaning process if they do not need to be cleaned since they will discolor to a dull silver after many cleanings.

More Information on the Self-Cleaning Process • A slight odor may be detected, and if an oven is heavily soiled, some smoke may be visible. Some smoke and odor during the cleaning process is a normal occurrence. Since the oven is vented on top of the control panel, vapors, moisture, etc. may be seen coming from this area. • During the cleaning process, do not be alarmed if an occasional flame is visible through the oven window.
Other on Caring Hints for Your Cleaning Other Surfaces of Your Oven Oven Door and control panel trim: The metal trim around the door and the control panel can be cleaned with any nonabrasive cleansers such as Bon-Ami or soapy water; rinse well. Be careful not to use an excessive amount of water. Glass on the control panel front and oven door front: To clean, use any suitable glass cleaner or soapy water.
Cleaning (Model W206 the Lower Oven only) Since the upper oven is self-cleaning, its use is suggested for foods that have a tendency to spatter or spill over. The lower oven porcelain walls and door, which are of the same high quality porcelain as the upper oven, can be wiped clean with soap and water if food is not allowed to bake on a second time. Heavy spattering of spillovers will require cleaning with mild abrasive cleansers such as Bar Keepers Friend, S.O.S. or Bon Ami.
Before You Call for Service Check the following list to be sure a service call is really necessary. A quick reference of this manual, as well as reviewing additional information on items to check, may prevent an unneeded service call. If no/Jldng on the oven operates: • check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. • check if oven is properly connected to electric circuit in house.
if foods • • • • bake unevenly: the oven may be installed improperly. check the oven rack with a level. stagger pans; do not allow pans to touch each other or oven wall. check instructions for suggested placement of pans on oven rack. If cooking results are less than expected: • the pans being used may not be of the size or material recommended for best results. • there may not be sufficient room around sides of the pans for proper air circulation in the oven.
