becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable power cord or extension cord is used:

Getting Started:
Overview of How It Works
In standard ovens, there is radiant heating of the interior, and air move-
ment is relatively slow. A convection oven circulates heated air continuously
through the oven to maintain uniform temperature. As a result, convection
ovens heat more quickly and cook faster. The constant, gentle air flow is
what seals in juices, promotes browning and may shorten cooking time with-
out turning and basting. Note that some convection ranges run the fan more
slowly for baking and faster for roasting.
The best way to become a confident convection cooker is to try out your
favorite recipes using the features. Your Convection Oven can Keep Warm,
Bake, Broil, Rotisserie, Convection Toast and Convection Bake. The Oven
has a special recessed area to accommodate a 12” frozen pizza.
Please familiarize yourself with the following oven functions and accessories
prior to the first use:
•Function Knob: This oven has 4 cooking modes (BROIL, BAKE, TOAST,
CONVECTION)
•Temperature Knob: Choose desired temperature from LOW (150°F) to HIGH
(465°F)
•Timer Knob: Turn control to the left (counter-clockwise) and the oven will STAY
ON until manually shut off. To activate timer, turn to right (clockwise) for other
use. A bell will sound at the end of the programmed time.
•Indicator Light: It is illuminated whenever oven is turned on.
•Grill Rack: For toasting, baking and general cooking in casserole dishes and
standard pans.
•Food Tray: For use in broiling and roasting meat, poultry, fish and various
other foods.
BAKING AND TOASTING
You can use bakeware up to 9 inches in length. We do not recommend the use of
oven roasting bags or glass containers inside the oven that are not heat resistant.
NEVER use plastic, cardboard, paper or anything flammable in the oven.
NOTE: Position the rack in the lowest support guide.
POSITIONING OF THE RACK WHEN BAKING
Cookies and Pies– Use bottom or middle support guides.
Layer Cakes – Use bottom support guide only (bake one at a time).
Nuts, fruits and meats – Use bottom or middle support guides.
Pizza – Use the middle support guides.
This function is ideal for baking cake, in general.

Baked Goods
Butter releases steam almost immediately, making the dough rise higher. That
means your baked goods will all be flakier, lighter, and loftier. For cookies, take
advantage of all available shelf space by baking with several trays at once. Be-
cause the fan disperses heat throughout, you won't have to rotate them as often.
Toasting/Drying Nuts and Grains
Use the convection setting to achieve an even, golden hue with far less tossing
and turning.
