Convection Cooking
Convection cooking combines hot air movement by means of a fan with the regular
features (broil, bake and toast). Convection cooking provides faster cooking in many
cases than regular radiant types toaster ovens. The fan gently circulates 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/broils 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 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.
Read all the sections of this booklet and follow all the instructions carefully.
Before Using Your Convection Oven with Burners
1. Read all of the instructions included in this manual.
2. Make sure that the oven is unplugged and the Operation Control Knob 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 Convection Oven with Burners.
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.
6. We recommend that you also turn the burners on for about 10 minutes to
eliminate any packing residue that may remain after shipping.
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.
