TIPS ON USING THE CONVECTION OVEN
General Guidelines
The American Range Convection Oven is a high performance commercial cooking appliance. You may need to adjust cook time and
temperature to achieve best results for your product.
TEMPERATURES and COOK TIMES
Preheating The Oven -
Always preheat the oven before baking or roasting. to the desired temperature. When “Oven Indicator Light” is
off the unit is at temperature.
Cook Temperatures
- Generally should be 25ºF (10ºC) lower than the deck or range oven recipes. If the edges of the product are done
but the center is raw, or if there is color variation, consider reducing the thermostat setting another 15 - 25ºF (10-15ºC). Continue to
reduce the cook temperature on successive loads until the desired results are achieved.
NOTE:
Cooking at excessive temperatures will not reduce the cook time, and more likely, will produce unsatisfactory baking and roasting results.
Cook Time -
Check the product in about half the time recommended for deck and range oven recipes. Record cook times and
temperatures that provide the best results for future reference.
NOTE:
Cook time will vary with the amount of product loaded, the type of pan and the temperature.
OPERATING TIPS
Pans and Racks -
Product or pan height determines how many racks are used. The oven holds up to ten - 18” x 26” (45.7 x 66.0 cm)
pans.
Load the oven from the bottom, centering the pans on the rack. Never place a pan or aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven as this
will obstruct the convection air flow and result in uneven baking and roasting.
Roasting -
To reduce shrinkage when roasting, place meat directly on the racks. Place a sheet pan one-half full of water in the bottom
rack position. The water will evaporate, increasing humidity in the oven chamber. The pan catches grease from the meat, making oven
cleaning easier.
Baking -
Weigh the product to ensure equal distribution in each pan. Varying amounts of product will cause uneven baking results.
Fan -
The fan must be operating for the oven to heat.
Lights -
The oven light switch is momentary contact. Press the switch to see what’s cooking – this feature will lengthen the lifetime of
the bulb.
