Convection Baking Rotisserie Cooking
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.
We recommend that you do not cook a roast larger than 4-5 lbs. on the
Rotisserie Skewer. Chicken should be bound in string to prevent the chicken
legs or wings from unraveling during roasting and so that rotisserie assembly
will rotate smoothly. For best results we recommend that you preheat the oven
for 15 minutes on 450°.
Operation
• Set temperature control to 450°F.
• Turn Function Control Knob to Convection Baking.
• Turn Convection Control Knob to desired fan speed (LO - MED – HI – MAX).
• Insert the meat or poultry that you are going to cook onto the rotisserie skewer
making sure that the meat or poultry is secured tightly onto the skewer with
the skewer clamps and thumbscrews. Make sure that the meat or poultry is
centered onto the skewer.
• Insert the pointed end of the Rotisserie Skewer into the drive socket located
on the right hand side of the oven wall. Make sure that the square end of the
Rotisserie Skewer rests on the Rotisserie Skewer Support located on the left
hand side of the oven wall.
• Slide the Broil/Drip Pan onto the lowest position to catch the food drippings.
• Turn the Time Control Knob to the “Stay On” position.
• Push the Rotisserie On/Off Switch to the “On” position.
• When the cooking is completed, turn the Time Control Knob to the “Off”
position.
• Remove the Rotisserie Skewer from the oven by placing the hooks of the
Rotisserie Handle under the grooves on either side of the Rotisserie Skewer.
Remove the left side of the Rotisserie Skewer first by lifting up and out. Then
pull the Rotisserie Skewer out of the drive socket and carefully remove the
roast from the oven.
• Take the meat or poultry off the Rotisserie Skewer and place on a cutting
board or platter.
