OPERATING SUGGESTIONS

l Convection oven cooking often allows for many standard recipes to be adjusted to shorten times and lower temperatures. The end result is more even cooking with more flavorful results.

l Warming – Set temperatures around 1750F.

l Reheating– If food is frozen, cook longer at lower temperatures. This will ensure that food is heated evenly and prevent food fillings from being served too hot.

l Time – The greater the quantity of food in the oven, the longer the cooking time required.

l Even cooking – Always space product evenly on your cooking pans, and leave space between shelves for proper convection. This oven can handle up to three standard 1/2 size sheet pans at once without rotation. It also handles 1/2 size steam table pans.

l Baking – Always preheat oven for a minimum of 7 minutes.
