Oven Tips
Oven Rack Placement
Oven racks should be positioned before the
oven is turned on.
1. Pull rack forward to the stop position.
2. Raise the front edge and pull it out of the
oven.
:3. Place rack in desired location.
Note: The curved edge of the rack must be
facing up and toward the rear of the oven.
Oven Rack
Convection Pan Placement
Baking pans and cookie sheets should not touch
the side or rear walls of the oven. If pans are
placed on different racks, they can be placed
directly over each other. Convection cooking
circulates air around the oven providing even
browning on all rack positions. When using
convection, the oven can be loaded on all racks
with excellent cooking results.
Convection Pan Placement
Conventional Pan Placement
Baking pans and cookie sheets should not touch
the side or rear walls of the oven. If baking pans
are placed on different racks, they should be
staggered so that one is not located directly
underanother. Thiswill prevent uneven browning
of foods.
Conventional Pan Placement
Smoking and odor is normal when usin
the oven the first few times. To eliminate
subsequent smoking and odor, setthe oven
to bake at 350 ° for approximately 2 hours.
Any discoloration or residue collected
around the vent area can be cleaned with a
nonabrasive cleaner such as Soft Scrul_
and a dampened cloth.

Oven and Broiling Racks
Convection Oven Racks
The convection oven has five rack positions.
The oven is provided with 2 flat racks and
one elevated rack. This design allows the
racks to be placed in the oven an equal
distance apart.
Lower Oven Racks
The lower oven has four rack positions and
two racks. The lower oven racks are slightly
larger than the upper oven racks (see right).
Do not use the lower oven racks in the
convection oven. The lower oven racks will
extend beyond the oven door opening.
Do not use the convection oven racks in the
lower oven. The convection oven racks may
tip forward during use.
Convection Broiling Rack
The convection oven is provided with a
special broiling rack. This rack should be
placed on top of the broiler pan and grid (see
right). The convection broiling rack allows
air to circulate around the food and cook
evenly without turning.

Convection Dehydration
Convection dehydration is an excellent way to
preserve fresh foods. The best way to become
familiar with dehydration is using fruits,
vegetables, herbs and spices.
Dehydrating
1. Place food on dehydration rack or cookie
sheet in middle of oven.
2. Open door to first stop position.
3. Touch CONV BAKE.
4. Touch _, until the 170°F appears in the
display.
The oven is equipped with a 12 hour automatic
cancel feature. If dehydration time is longer
than 12 hours the control will need to be reset.
When Finished
Touch CANCEL.
Dehydration Tips
Fruits
1. Always start with fresh fruit.
2. Cut fruit in equal pieces approximately
1/8" thick. Thinner pieces will dry quicker.
3. Fruits need to be dipped into an antioxidant,
a color keeping preservative, or two parts
water and one part lemon juice.
4. Treating the fruit with an antioxidant will help
it retain vitamins, color and flavor.
Vegetables
Most vegetables require blanching to inactivate
the enzymes.
Herbs and Spices
1. Herbs and spices dry quickly.
2. Check every 30 minutes to avoid over- drying.
3. When drying herbs, the leaf clusters should
be separated from the stems.
