CONVECT BAKING
( SELECT MODELS )
❚ As a general rule, when convection
baking, set the oven temperature
25
°
F lower than the conventional
recipe or prepared mix directions.
Baking time will be the same to a few
minutes less than directions.
❚ When roasting meat using the con-
vection setting, roasting times may
be up to 30% less. (Maintain conven-
tional roasting temperatures.)
❚ See roasting chart in “Cooking Made
Simple” booklet for recommended roast-
ing temperature and times, and addi-
tional baking and convection cooking
tips.
BROILING
❚ If the TOASTING function is operating
in the upper oven when lower oven
BROIL pad is pressed, a double beep
will sound and display will read
TOASTING WAIT X MIN.
❚ HI broil is used for most broiling. Use LO
broil when broiling longer cooking foods
to allow them to cook to well done stage
without excessive browning.
❚ Never cover broiler pan insert with alumi-
num foil. This prevents fat from draining
to the pan below.
❚ Expect broil times to be longer and brown-
ing to be slightly lighter if appliance is
installed on a 208 volt circuit.
BAKING
❚ If the TOASTING function is operating
in the upper oven when lower oven
BAKE pad and temperature are en-
tered, the control will display HEAT-
ING DELAYED X MIN followed by WAIT.
At the end of the delay the lower oven
will start automatically.
❚ To recall the set temperature during pre-
heat press the BAKE pad.
❚ To change oven temperature during cook-
ing, press the BAKE pad and the appro-
priate number pads.
❚ Allow 4-8 minutes for the upper oven to
preheat. Allow 10-16 minutes for the lower
oven to preheat.
❚ Allow at least 1 /
2
-inch between the bak-
ing pan or casserole and the top ele-
ment in the upper oven. Loaf, angel
food or bundt pans are not recommended
in the upper oven.
❚ Do not use temperatures below 140
°
F
to keep food warm or below 200
°
F for
cooking. For food safety reasons, lower
temperatures are not recommended.
❚ The back part of the lower oven bake
element will NOT glow red during baking.
This is normal.
❚ When baking frozen, self-rise pizzas in
the upper oven, place the pizza on a
cookie sheet to avoid overbrowning.
❚ For additional baking and roasting tips,
refer to the “Cooking Made Simple”
booklet.
