Baking Elements
The Kleenmaid oven uses two elements for
baking: one located at the top of the oven and the
second located below the floor of the oven cavity
to provide ease in cleaning the oven cavity.
Grilling Element
The grilling element of the oven is located at the
top of the oven cavity.
Do not touch the heating element or let oven
gloves touch the grilling element.
Never use a towel or bulky cloth for an oven
glove; they could catch on fire.
Convection Element
The convection element (not visible) and fan are
located at the back of the oven cavity.
This element and fan combination performs the
cooking when in the convection bake mode.
When in any of the convection modes the fan is
on, see Table 1. The fan will only operate with
the door closed.
About Convection Ovens
Both the single oven and double oven are
convection ovens.
Although most people are familiar with the
operation of a conventional oven many are
unclear as to how a convection oven works or in
what ways it is superior to a conventional oven.
Below you will find a brief explanation of how a
convection oven works and its advantages. In
Kleenmaid Ovens, the European Convection
system (the 3 elements, fan and venting panel)
circulates even, heated air throughout the oven.
This process:
• Seals in juices and flavour
• Provides even baking and browning
• Saves time and energy
• Baking on multiple levels at the same time
• Bakes whole meals at once with no flavour
transfer
• Defrosts evenly
Many of your own recipes have time and
temperature instruction for the regular bake cycle.
As a rule, most of these recipes can be cooked
with better results in one of the convection cycles.
In general, to convert standard recipes for use in
convection, you reduce the temperature by about
10 °C and check if cooked at the minimum
suggested cooking time.
When baking on more than 1 rack it may be
necessary to increase the cooking time a few
minutes for each additional rack. As individual
tastes vary, you may find you need to adjust the
time and temperature to achieve desired results.
You may feel your new oven cooks differently
than your old oven. We recommend you use the
various cooking cycles for a few months to
become more familiar with it.
We do not recommend you use oven
thermometers found at many grocery stores to
check oven temperature. They may be inaccurate
and are slow to respond to temperature changes.
