Operation, Before First USE, Operating Suggestions

OPERATION

WARNING: THE APPLIANCE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Griddle Tops: Before using your griddle, the protective coating that was applied at the factory must be completely removed with a commercial degreaser. After a thorough cleaning, apply a high temperature, salt-free frying oil and you are ready to use the griddle.

The griddle requires no “breaking-in” or “seasoning”.

OPERATING SUGGESTIONS

Standard Oven: If you have a standard oven, use your normal recipe times and temperatures.

Convection Oven: The convection oven does everything a regular oven can do, but with less energy consumption. The oven pre-heats faster, and baking time, temperature settings, and shrinkage are reduced.

In general, reduce temperature 25°F (10°C) from conventional recipes.

•Bakery Products: Reduce temperature 25°F (10°C). Reduce time by 25%.

•Casserole Cookery: Reduce temperature about 25°F, and time by 25%.

•Meat Roasting: Reduce temperature to 275-300°F (135-149°C). Use meat thermometer. Cooking time may be reduced up to 25%.

Use fan for preheating and baking.

Place open-face pies with thin lling mixture in preheated oven 2 to 3 minutes before turning on fan switch.

Check product at half the time of the regular recipe.

Level pans bake more evenly; warped pans will give uneven baking results.
