Using Your Electric Convection Oven

Using aluminum foil

•Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners, or

cookware. Permanent damage will occur to the oven bottom finish.

• Do not cover the entire rack with aluminum

foil. Doing so will reduce air circulation and overall oven performance.

•To catch spillovers from pies or casseroles place foil on the oven rack below. Foil should be turned up at edges and be at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) larger than dish.

•Place tent-shaped foil loosely over meat or poultry to slow down surface browning for long term roasting. Remove foil for the last 30 minutes.

•Use narrow strips of foil to shield piecrust edges if browning too quickly.

Although your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven.

If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting results, you can change the offset temperature by following the steps below. The control will “remember” the selected offset even after the power has been interrupted or lost.

NOTE: DO NOT measure oven temperature with a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower the oven temperature and give you an inaccurate reading. Also, the ther- mometer temperature reading will change as your oven cycles.

1. PRESS

BAKE

(Hold for 5 seconds)

Release the pad when a number and CAL appear on the temperature display and you hear a tone.

2. Set new offset temperature.

PRESS

BAKE

OR

BROIL

MAXI

 

 

ECONO

You can set the offset temperature adjustment as low as -35°F (-21°C) or as high as +35°F (21°C). Each time you press BAKE, the displayed temperature will increase by 5°F (3°C). Each time you press BROIL, the displayed temperature will decrease by 5°F (3°C). (To determine the amount of adjustment needed, see the chart later in this section.)

NOTE: If there is no “F” after the temperature, you are in the Celsius mode.

3. PRESS

START

NOTE: If you press LOWER OVEN CANCEL instead of START, the offset temperature will stay the same.
