How to use Convection

When baking:

1.For optimum cooking results it is recommended to preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.

2.Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended cooktime.

3.When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in positions 2 & 5 for best results.

Layer cakes will have better results using the “BAKE” pad.

When roasting

1.Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using Convection.

2.Since Convection cooks food faster, reduce the cooktime by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe. Check the food at this time. If necessary, increase cooktime until the desired doneness is obtained.

3.Do not cover foods when roasting - this will prevent the meat from browning properly.

4.Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.

Note:

When using Convection, cook time reductions may vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

3.As soon as the“+” or “-”pad is released, the oven will begin heating to the selected temperature. When the displayed temperature reaches the desired baking temperature, the preheat indicator light will turn OFF and the control will beep 3 times.

4.To cancel Convection, press “Clear/Off”.

To change the oven temperature after Convection has started:

1.Press “Convection”. Visually check the bake temperature and see if it needs to be changed.

2.Press the “+” or “-”pad to increase or decrease the set temperature to the desired new oven temperature.

Operating the Gas Cooktop

Cookware material types

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:

Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting).

Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.

Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast Iron - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will vary depending on base material.

Glass - Slow heat conductor.

Setting Convection

The oven can be programmed to Convection at any temperature from 300°F to 550°F (149°C to 287°C). The factory preset automatic bake temperature is 350°F
