Convection Cooking
Convection cooking combines hot air movement by means of a fan with the
Convection/Baking feature. Convection cooking provides faster cooking in many
cases than regular radiant type toaster ovens. The fan gently sends air to every
area of the food, quickly browning, crisping and sealing in moisture and flavor. It
produces more even temperature all around the food by air movement, so that
food cooks/bakes evenly versus the normal ovens hot and cold spots. The
convection feature allows cooking/baking at lower temperatures, which saves
energy and helps keep the kitchen cooler. With the Jet Convection Oven you
will see about a 25 to 30% decrease in cooking temperature and a 20 to 25%
decrease in cooking time when compared to a conventional oven. Convection
cooking is very consistent and even. The oven heats quickly, so pre-heating is
not necessary or desirable. The fan circulates the hot air around the food
making baked goods rise quickly and evenly.
Read all the sections of this booklet and follow all the instructions carefully.
Before Using Your Jet Convection Oven
1. Read all of the instructions included in this manual.
2. Make sure that the oven is unplugged and the Time Control is in the
“OFF” position.
3. Wash all the accessories in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher.
4. Thoroughly dry all accessories and re-assemble in oven. Plug oven into
outlet and you are ready to use your new Toaster Oven with Jet
Convection.
5. After re-assembling your oven, we recommend that you run it at the
highest temperature (450° F.) on the Toast Function for approximately 15
minutes to eliminate any packing residue that may remain after shipping.
This will also remove all traces of odor initially present.
Please Note:
Initial start-up operation may result in minimal smell and
smoke (about 15 minutes). This is normal and harmless.
It is due to burning of the protective substance applied to
the heating elements in the factory.
