Oven Door Bracket Adjustment
(Some Side Swing Models)
If the oven door is too loose or too tight to open, it is possible to adjust it. There is an
adjustable bracket located on the front frame under the door on the handle side. (see
figure)
To have an oven door opening loosen, push down the adjustable bracket and to have
it tighten, lift up the bracket.
Convection Cooking
(some models)
The convection oven uses a fan located in the rear wall of the oven to circulate heated air around the food to be cooked. The
controlled air flow pattern quickly seals the food surface retaining the natural juices and flavour. This method of cooking enables
you to obtain the best culinary results when baking, thawing, dehydrating and roasting foods.
Convection notes:
1. Most recipes can be made with temperatures set at 13°C (25°F) lower than temperatures required for normal radiant cooking
methods. Refer to the electronic oven control operating instructions included in the "Electronic Oven Control" section. This can
result in considerable reduction of food shrinkage and more tender meats.
Dual Cavity models, you do not have to make this adjustment, the timer make it automatically.
2. Batch cooking is more convenient with better results.
3. Defrosting is quicker in convection mode when compared to regular radiant cooking.
4. Remember to use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection baking/roasting when using the convection mode. Times
may be reduced by as much as 30% when using the convection feature.
Convection Roasting
(some models)
When convection roasting, use a broiler pan and grid, and the roasting rack. Broiler pan
will catch grease spills and the grid will help prevent spatters. Roasting rack will hold the
meat.
To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent grease
spattering, DO NOT use the roasting rack when broiling.
1. Place oven rack on next-bottom rack position.
2. Place the grid in the broiler pan. The roasting rack fits on the grid allowing the heated
air circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase browning on the
underside. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the grid in the broiler pan.
DO NOT use the broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil.
3. Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack.
4. Place the broiler pan on the oven rack. Note: Always pull rack out to the stop position
before removing food.
NOTE: For best convection roasting result, always use the broiler pan, grid and roasting
rack.
Air Circulation in the Oven
For good air circulation in the oven and best baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow 5.1 to 10.2cm (2” to 4”) around
the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do not touch each other, the door, sides or back of oven. The hot air must
circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven.

Broiler Pan
(some models)
If using multiple pans, stagger as shown.
If using one pan, place in center of oven.
