PROPER UTENSILS

The use of proper utensils can enhance oven operation. Medium and light weight pans allow the product to warm faster. Roast meats in shallow pans deep enough to hold all juices yet allow free air circulation.

CONSERVING ENERGY

•Turn off unused equipment.

•Adjust menu patterns and cooking/baking schedules for optimum equipment use.

•Reduce thermostat settings in slack periods since gas equipment heats up and recovers quickly.

•Preheat only to required cooking temperature for specific food — not higher.

•Do not open the oven door unless absolutely necessary.

•Keep area around the oven door clean and free of food particles.

•Any obstruction that prevents the door from closing completely will adversely affect oven efficiency.

OPERATING HINTS

When using the convection oven for the first time with a particular food, check the degree of doneness periodically before the suggested time has elapsed, to make sure the desired doneness is achieved.

Record your temperature and time settings for various products. The convection oven can provide consistent, repeatable results.

The convection oven is faster than conventional deck-type ovens; temperature settings are lower and cook times are shorter. Since recipes and foods are subject to many variations and tastes, the guidelines regarding Times and Temperatures in this manual are SUGGESTIONS ONLY. Experiment with your food products to determine the cooking temperatures and times that give you the best results.

CLEANING

WARNING: TURN OVEN OFF AND UNPLUG ELECTRICAL CORD BEFORE CLEANING.

Clean outside of the oven daily by wiping with a clean damp cloth.

Clean porcelain oven interior daily with soap or detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.

Optional Stainless Steel Oven Interior

Soap or detergent and water usually handle routine cleaning. Rinse thoroughly, dry with a soft clean cloth.

For burned-on foods and grease which resist simple soap and water cleaning, an abrasive cleanser (scouring powder) mixed into a paste may be used. Apply with stainless steel wool or sponge, always rubbing with the "grain."

This treatment is equally effective for "heat tint" (slightly darkened areas caused by oxidation). Again, remember to rub in the direction of the polish lines. Rinse with clear water and dry with a soft cloth.
