Timed Cooking

WARNING

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Timed Cooking allows the oven(s) to be set to turn on at a certain time of day, cook for a set length of time, and/or shut off automatically. Delay start should not be used for food such as breads and cakes because they may not bake properly.

Dehydrating

(on convection models,closed door)

Dehydration is a method used to preserve food. Various factors, such as the quality of the fresh food, pretreatment techniques, the size and thickness of the food, and the climate may affect the finished product.

During dehydration, heat is used to force out moisture and air circulation is used to carry the moisture away.

Refer to a reliable book or source for complete information about dehydrating and preserving foods.

To Dehydrate:

Position the racks according to the following chart. See “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section for diagram.
