Baking, Roasting and Oven Operation

Baking, Roasting and

Convection Cooking

Every oven has its own characteristics. You may find that the cooking times and temperatures vary slightly from your old oven. This is normal.

Oven Fans

A cooling fan will automatically turn on during cleaning, broiling and some baking operations. It is used to help keep internal parts on the control panel cool. The fan will automati- cally turn off when parts have cooled. The fan may continue to operate after the oven has been turned off. This is normal.

A convection fan (select models) is used to circulate hot air in the oven when the convection feature is selected. It automati- cally turns on whenever the CONVECT pad is pressed and will turn off when CONVECT is canceled.

NOTE: The convection fan will automatically stop whenever the oven door is opened.

Notes . . .

If more than 30 seconds elapse between pressing

a function pad and pressing a Manual background or Manual background pad, the display will return to the previous display.

To recall the set temperature during preheat, press the appropriate BAKE or CONVECT (select models) pad. The set temperature will be dis- played briefly and then return to the on-going program.

To change the oven temperature during cooking,

press the appropriate BAKE or CONVECT

(select models) and the appropriate Manual background or Manual background pads for the desired oven temperature.

As a general rule when convection baking, set the oven temperature 25° F lower than the con- ventional recipe or prepared mix directions. Times will be similar to a few minutes less than directions.

When convection is used to roast meats, roasting times are generally 25-30% less. (Maintain con- ventional roasting temperatures.)

For additional baking, roasting and convection cooking tips plus a roasting chart with recom- mended roasting temperatures and times, see “Cooking Made Simple” booklet.
