Broiling
The top heating elements cycle on and off to maintain maximum temperature in the oven. For best results, the oven should be preheated for 20 minutes at 450° before adding the food to be broiled.
Operation
•Set Temperature Control to 450°.
•Turn Function Control to Broil.
•Preheat the oven.
•Place the food on the Broil Rack which is on top of the Broil/Drip Pan.
•Place the Broil/Drip Pan on the Top Rack Support Guide or Middle Rack Support Guide depending on the thickness of the food that you are cooking.
•Food should be placed as close as possible to the Top Heating Element without touching it.
•Set temperature control to the appropriate temperature.
•Brush food with sauces or oil, as desired.
•Turn Time Control to position “Stay On”.
•It is advisable to leave the door slightly ajar.
•When broiling is complete, turn the Time Control to “OFF”.
Broiling Guide
Cooking results may vary, adjust these times to your individual requirements. Also, check often during broiling to avoid overcooking.
MEAT | OVEN TEMP | COOKING TIME |
RIB STEAK | 400 | |
400 | ||
HAMBURGER | 400 | |
PORK CHOPS | 400 | |
LAMB CHOPS | 400 | |
CHICKEN LEGS | 400 | |
FISH FILETS | 350 | |
SALMON STEAKS | 350 |
Note: All broiling times are based on meats at refrigerator temperature. Frozen meats may take considerably longer. Therefore, use of a meat thermometer is highly recommended.
Convection Baking
Convection baking is very consistent and even. The oven heats quickly, so preheating is not necessary or desirable. The fan circulates the hot air around the food making baked goods rise quickly and evenly. With this oven, you have the option of four (4) convection settings. We recommend using the “LO” to MED” settings for small roasts or baking cookies/cakes and the “HI” to “MAX” settings for larger roasts or for rotisserie cooking.
Bake your favorite cookies, cakes, pies, brownies, etc. The bakeware that will fit in your oven are up to 10 inches in width. We do not recommend the use of oven roasting bags or glass containers in the oven. Never use plastic, cardboard, paper or anything similar in the oven.
Operation
•Place the wire rack in the lowest or middle Rack Support Guide depending on the height of the pan or according to the recipe.
•Place pan with item(s) to be baked on the wire rack.
•Turn the Function Control to Convection Baking.
•Turn the Time Control to position “Stay On”.
•You have the option of using the convection with this function. If you want to use the convection fan, turn the Convection Control Knob to “LO”, “MED”, “HI” or “MAX” setting. If you do not want the convection fan to work, set the Convection Control Knob to the “Off” position.
•When baking is complete, turn the Time Control to “OFF” as well as the Convention Control Knob to the “Off” position if it was being used.
Positioning of the Wire Racks
Cookies - Use bottom and middle Support Guides.
Layer Cakes - Use bottom Support Guide only (bake one at a time). Pies - Use bottom Support Guide.
Baking on 2 Racks
Two racks of cookies can be baked at the same time, however it is necessary to rotate them (i.e. move the top to the bottom and the bottom to the top) halfway to through the baking time if you are NOT using the convection fan. If you are using the convection fan feature, then you do NOT need to rotate.
Baking Cookies
For baking cookies, we suggest adjusting baking temperature and using a cookie sheet placed on the wire rack. Also, using parchment paper on a cookie sheet might prove helpful when baking certain types of cookies.
1.Use parchment paper on cookie sheet so cookies will not stick.
2.Cookie sheets, baking times and temperatures may differ from those necessary when using other baking materials.
Note: Convection air is superheated and it circulates around the food, so it cooks food up to 25% faster. When baking your favorite recipes or packaged goods, follow recipe instructions remembering not to preheat. Check the baked goods a few minutes before the shortest recommended baking time.
Baking Guide
Follow the package or recipe instructions for baking times and temperature.
