Frequently Asked Questions

My convection oven is not heating; what am I doing wrong? Be sure the power cord is plugged into a suitable out- let. See page 5 for electrical requirements. If you are trying to Toast, make sure that the Toast control knob is set to the desired setting and that you have pressed the “Toast” button. If you are trying to Warm, Bake, or Broil, make sure that the temperature control knob is set to the desired temperature, and that the timer control knob is set to the desired cooking time or to the “Always On” position.

Can I bake a cake in my convection oven? Yes. Standard cake mixes can be baked in a 9x13-inch baking pan, so they fit perfectly into the convection oven.

Should I place bread slices on a baking pan to toast them? No. Actually, it is best to place slices of bread directly on the wire rack for toasting. This allows the heat to more effec- tively reach the bread and toast it on both sides.

Does the convection oven have a self-cleaning cycle? No. The premium nonstick surfaces in your convection oven make clean up a breeze. Simply allow the oven to cool com- pletely and wipe the interior with a clean, damp cloth. Even baked on foods will release from the surface. Use a nylon or polyester mesh cleansing pad to remove heavier food soils. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads, as they may scratch the surfaces of the oven.

Is it okay to place garlic cheese bread directly on the oven rack? It is better to place cheese bread (or any foods that have an ingredient that will melt) on a baking pan. That way, if the cheese oozes over, the pan will catch the cheese in- stead of allowing it to fall on the heating elements in the bottom of the oven.
