Using Your Convection & Rotisserie Oven with Electronic
Control
Please familiarize yourself with the following oven functions and accessories prior to first use:
•Function Key - This oven is equipped with five positions for a variety of cooking needs:
Keep Warm - To keep cooked food warm for up to 2 hours (120 minutes).
Rotisserie Cooking
We recommend that you do not cook a roast larger than 4 lbs. on the rotisserie skewer. Chicken should be bound in string to prevent the chicken legs or wings from unraveling during roasting and so that rotisserie assembly will rotate smoothly. For best results we recommend that you preheat the oven for 15 minutes on 450°. Please note that the “Convection” feature turns on automatically with the “Rotisserie” function. When using the “Rotisserie” function, the oven has been preset to start at 400° and with 70 minutes set on the timer. The temperature cannot be adjusted but the time can be adjusted anywhere between
Broil - For broiling fish, steak, poultry, pork chops, etc.
Rotisserie - Can cook up to a 4 lb. roast or chicken
Toast - Bread, muffins, frozen waffles, etc.
Bake - Cakes, pies, cookies, poultry, beef, pork, etc.
•Timer Key - To set the time, press on the “Timer” key and the “Time/Temp. Adjust” key up or down to set the desired time.

•Crumb Tray – Place at the bottom of the oven.
•Broiler Pan - For use in broiling and roasting meat, poultry, fish and various other foods. The broiler pan should also be used when using the “Rotisserie” function.
•Rotisserie Spit - Roasts a variety of meats and poultry that are very tender and juicy inside, and browned to perfection outside.
•Rotisserie Handle - Used for removing the rotisserie spit from the oven after your roast is done.
Convection Cooking
Convection cooking combines hot air movement by means of a fan with the regular features (Broil, Bake and Rotisserie). Convection cooking provides faster cooking in many cases than regular radiant types toaster ovens. The fan gently sends air to every area of the food, quickly browning, crisping and sealing in moisture and flavor. It produces more even temperature all around the food by air movement, so that food cooks/bakes/broils evenly versus the normal ovens hot and cold spots. The convection feature allows cooking/baking at lower temperatures, which saves energy and helps keep the kitchen cooler. With the Convection & Rotisserie Oven with Electronic Control, you will see about a 20% to 25% decrease in cooking time when compared to a conventional oven.
