SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
Read before operating your oven
All appliances--regardless of the manufacturer--have the
potential through improper or careless use to create safety
problems. Therefore the following safety precautions should
be observed:
1, Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician.
2, Never use your appliance for warming or heating the
room.
3, Children should not be left alone or unattended in area
where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using theappliance.
5, Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other servic-
ing should bereferred to an authorized Jenn-Air Service
Contractor.
6, Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven.
7. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or
use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

8. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot-
holder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth.
9. Use care when opening door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.
10. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pres-
sure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
11. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
12. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
13. Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for
a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or
move the gasket.
14. Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner
or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used
in or around any part of the oven.
15. Clean only parts listed in this manual.
16. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan and
other utensils.
17. Listen for fan. A fan noise should be heard during the
broil and cleaning cycles. If not, call a serviceman before
self-cleaning again.
18. DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of any
oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces
of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns--among these surfaces are: oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors,
windows of oven doors.

About YourJennoAir Oven
Your Jenn-Air oven combines the best of two cooking methods,
convection and radiant bake (conventional) baking or roasting,
in a self-cleaning oven.
The benefits of convection cooking, used by major restaurants
and chefs all over the world for years, are yours with a simple
turn of a dial.
The Jenn-Air convection oven is actually a conventional oven
that circulates heated air within the oven. As both bake and broil
heating elements cycle on and off with the thermostat,a fan
keeps the heated air circulating around the food.
The constantly recirculating heated air in the convection oven
strips away the layer of cooler air that surrounds food.Conse-
quently, many foods cook more quickly.Distributed heat makes
multiple rack cooking possible. Convection roasted meats retain
their natural flavor and juiciness with less shrinkage than radiant
heat roasting.
In addition to the many exclusive benefits of convection cook-
ing, your Jenn-Air oven is also a fine full-featured "bake and
broil" oven. 4

You can cook your "old favorite" recipes as you have in the
past. The radiant bake oven also gives you the flexibility of
preparing various foods when convection cooking may not be as
beneficial, as when cooking foods in covered casseroles or clay
pots.
The broil element is convenient for top browning and oven
broiling of foods.
The time bake feature can be used with either the convection
or radiant bake oven.
Since this manual explains how you can obtain the best use of
your oven, it is essential that you follow the instructions care-
fully. This will enable you to fully enjoy and properly maintain
your Jenn-Air oven and will also assure you of achieving the
finest cooking results with the foods you prepare.., year after
year.
Should you have any questions about using your Jenn-Air
appliance, write to us.Be sure to provide the model number of
your appliance.

Baking
General Baking Recommendations
• When cooking foods for the first time in your new oven, use recipe
cooking times and temperatures as a guide.
• Use tested recipes from reliable sources.
•Preheat the oven only when necessary. For baked foods that rise and
for richer browning, a preheated oven is better. Casseroles can be
started in a cold oven. Preheating takes from 6 to 8 minutes; place food
in oven after BAKE INDICATOR LIGHT cycles off.
• Arrange oven racks before turning on oven. Follow suggested rack
positions on page 9 and in the various baking charts.
• Allow about 1 to 1-1/2 inches of space between the oven side walls and
utensils to allow proper air circulation.
• When baking foods in more than one utensil, place them on opposite
corners of the rack. Stagger utensils when baking on two racks so that
one utensil does not shield another. (See above photo.)
•To conserve energy, avoid frequent or prolonged door openings. At the
end of cooking, turn oven off before removing food.
• Always test for doneness (fingertip, toothpick, sides pulling away from
pan). Do not rely on time or brownness as only indicators.
• Use good quality baking utensils and the size recommended inthe recipe.
• Dull, dark, enameled or glass utensils will generally produce a brown,
crisp crust. Shiny metal utensils produce a light, golden crust.
• Frozen pies in shiny aluminum pans should be baked on a cookie sheet
on rack 1or be removed to a dull or glass pan. For multiple rack cooking
use cookie sheets and bake on rack positions #1, 3 and 5.
10

Convection Baking Recommendations
• As a general rule, when using recipes or prepared mixes developed for
a radiant bake oven, set the oven temperature 25° F lower than the recipe
recommended temperature. Times will be similar to or a few minutes less
than recipe recommended times. The chart on page 12 compares times
and temperatures of many baked foods.Use this as a reference.
• For better browning, large utensils such as cookie sheets, jelly roll pans,
or rectangular baking pans should be placed lengthwise, front to back,
on the rack. This centers the food in front of the convection fan for better
air circulation which gives better overall browning. (See above photo.)
• Cookie sheets should be without sides and made of shiny aluminum. The
best size to use for cookie sheets and jelly roll pans is 15 1/2 x 12-inches
(overall size, including handles).

Convection Baking of
Frozen Convenience Foods
•Preheating the oven is not necessary.
• Follow package recommendations for oven temperature, foil covering and
use of cookie sheets. Baking times will be similar.See chart below for
some exceptions and examples.
•Center foods in the oven. If more than one food item is being baked, or if
foods are being baked on multiple racks, stagger foods for proper air
circulation.
• Most foods are baked on rack position #3.
• For multiple rack baking, use racks #1, 3, 5. However, pizzas should be
placed on cookie sheets and baked on rack positions #2, 3, and 4.

ConvectionCooking onMultiple Racks
For best results, bake foods on one rack at a time as described in this manual.
However, very good results can be obtained when baking quantities of foods on
multiple racks. Quantity cooking provides both time and energy savings.
The convection oven is suggested for most multiple rack cooking,expecially three
rack cooking, because the circulating heated air results in more even browning than
radiant. For two rack cooking, the radiant bake oven provides very good baking results
especially when pans can be staggered, such as with layer cakes.
Many foods can be prepared on three racks at the same time.These are just a few
examples: cookies, cakes (layer or sheet cakes), cupcakes, rolls, biscuits, muffins,
pies, frozen convenience foods, pizzas, appetizers, and snack foods.
To obtain the best results in multiple rack cooking, follow these suggestions:
•Use temperature and times in this manual as a guide for best results.
• For two rack baking, rack positions #1 and 3 are best for most baked products
but positions #2 and 4 also provide acceptable results.
• For three rack baking use position #1, 3 and 5.One exception is pizza (see
page 13).
• Since foods on positions #1 and 5 will usually be done before foods on position
#3, additional cooking time will be needed for browning foods on the middle
rack.An additional 30 to 60 seconds are needed for thin foods such as cookies.
For foods such as biscuits, rolls, or muffins, allow 1 to 2 more minutes. Frozen
pies and pizzas, which should be baked on a cookie sheet, need about 2 to 4
more minutes.
• Stagger small utensils, such as layer cake pans, in the oven.
• Jelly roll pans and cookie sheets should be placed lengthwise, front to back,
in front of the fan for more even browning.
• Oven meals are recommended for energy conservation.Use rack positions
#1 and 3 or #1 and 4.
NOTE: Three racks provided with models W141 & W225 only.

Roasting
General Roasting Recommendations
•Preheating is not necessary.
•For open pan roasting, place meat or poultry on the slotted portion of the two-
piece pan included with the oven.Do not add water to the pan. Use open pan
roasting for tender cuts of meat. Less tender cuts of meat need to be cooked
by moist heat in a covered utensil.
•For best results, a meat thermometer is the most accurate guide to degree of
doneness. See page 19 for directions on use of the MEAL TEMP feature as well
as suggestions for placing a thermometer probe in meat and poultry. The sug-
gestions for probe placement are also applicable to meat thermometers used
with ovens without the MEAL TEMP feature.
• Place roast fat side up to allow self basting of meat during roasting.
•Since meats continue to cook after being removed from the oven, remove roast
from oven when it reaches an internal temperature about 5 degrees below the
temperature desired.
•For less loss of juices and easier carving, allow about 15 minutes "standing
time" after removing meat from oven.
•For best results in roasting poultry, thaw completely. Due to the structure of
poultry, partially thawed poultry will cook unevenly.
Radiant Bake Roasting Recommendations
• If preferred, tender cuts of meat can be roasted in the radiant bake oven by
following the general recommendations given above. However, meats will
roast more quickly in the convection oven.
• Radiant bake is best for less tender cuts of meat that require a longer, moist
heat method of cooking.Follow your recipe for times and temperatures for
covered meats.
•Cooking bags, Dutch ovens, covered roasting pans and utensils are best
cooked in the radiant bake oven.
• Use meat roasting charts in standard cookbooks for recommended times and
temperatures for roasting on radiant bake.
15

Convection Roasting Recommendations
• Tender cuts of meat and poultry can be quickly roasted to a rich golden brown
in the convection oven. Follow general recommendations for roasting.
• Refer to convection meat roasting chart for recommended cooking temperature
and time. The chart can serve as a guide to help plan meal serving time.
• Minutes per pound will vary according to the size, shape, quality, and initial
temperature of meat as well as the electrical voltage in your area. Times are
based on refrigerator cold meat.
• A large cut of meat will usually require fewer minutes per pound to roast than
a smaller cut of meat.
• Do not use a roasting pan with high sides; use pan provided with oven.
• Do not cover meat. Allow the circulating hot air to surround the meat and seal
in the juices.
• Since the breast meat on a large turkey cooks more quickly than the thigh area,
place a "foil cap" over the breast area after desired brownness is reached to
prevent overbrowning.(See above photo.)
•A stuffed turkey will require an extra 30-60 minutes depending on size. Dressing
should reach an internal temperature of 165 °.
Convection Roasting: Frozen to Finish
Meats may be roasted frozen to finish. Follow these guidelines for the most satis-
factory results.
• Use temperatures for roasting fresh meats as recommended by most cook-
books. Generally, most meats and turkey are roasted at 325 ° F. For best results
do not use temperatures below 300° F.
• Use times for roasting fresh meats as given in your favorite cookbooks as ap-
proximate guides for roasting frozen meats.Roasting times will vary due to
factors such as coldness of meat, size, quality, or cut.In general, roasting times
for frozen to finish in the convection oven will be approximately the same as
fresh to finish in a radiant bake oven.
• The guidelines given for roasting fresh meats in the convection oven also apply
to roasting frozen meats.
• Insert meat thermometer mid-way during the cooking process.

Meal Temp -Modew141
The MEALTEMP feature enables you
to cookmeats and other foods with-
out the chore of watching a thermom-
eter. Upon reaching selected internal
temperature, a signal will sound to
tell you the food is done and is ready
tobe removed from oven.
To Use Meal Temp Feature
1.Insert the skewer-like probe intothe food
item.For meats, the probe tip should be
located in the center of the thickest part of
the meat and not in fat or touching a bone.
2. Place the food in the oven using the rack
position suggested on page 9.
3. Insert the probe plug into the receptacle
located behind the metal cover plate on the
right inside oven wall.Be certain to insert
plug !nto the receptacle all the way.
4. Set the MEAL TEMP knob to the desired internal temperature of food.
5. Turn TEMPERATURE knob to desired oven temperature.
6.Turn SELECTOR knob to BAKE or CONVECT.To use MEAL TEMP feature
with TIME BAKE or TIME CONVECT, follow directions below.
7. When the selected internal temperature of the meat has been reached, the
MEAL TEMP light on the control panel will glow, the signal will sound, and the
oven will cycle off.To stop buzzer, turn pointer to a higher internal temperature
setting or unplug cable. Internal temperature of food can be determined at any
time during cooking by turning dial down until the buzzer sounds.
8. Once the selected internal temperature is reached, REMOVE FOOD IMMEDI-
ATELY TO PREVENT OVERCOOKING. First, unplug the probe from the oven
before removing food. Hold plug with potholder.
9. Turn TEMPERATURE and SELECTOR knobs to OFF position.
10. IMPORTANT: MEAL TEMP probe must be unplugged and removed from oven
when it is not being used in a cooking procedure. Be sure metal cover is over
receptable when MEAL TEMP feature is not being used.
To Use Meal Temp Feature with Time Bake or
Time Convect
1. Turn SELECTOR knob to TIME BAKE or TIME CONVECT.
2. Set desired "Start" time. Push in and turn START knob to time you wish food
to start cooking.
3. Set "Stop" time well in advance of projected time food should be done since
the MEAL TEMP feature will automatically cycle the oven off once the
desired internal temperature has been reached.
NOTE: Since food continues to cook if left in the oven, it is suggested that the clock
controls be used primarily to start the oven when no one is in the kitchen to
manually turn on the oven. However, provisions should be made to have the
food removed as soon as the MEAL TEMP signal has sounded.

Hints on Sucessful Use of
the Meal Temp Feature
• The probe should be located in the center of the thickest part of a roast. Plan
the placement of the probe tip by laying it on the outside of the meat, marking
with finger where edge of meat comes on the probe.Insert probe into thickest
part of muscle up to the marking held by finger.
•Tip of probe should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
• For turkeys and large poultry products, insert probe into the thickest part
of the inner thigh. Because of variables in cooking poultry, such as size and
shape, use the thermometer as a guide to the degree of doneness but also use
conventional methods, squeezing or wiggling drumstick, to test for doneness.
• Because of the excellent insulation of the oven, the retained heat continues
to cook the meat after the signal has sounded and the oven has cycled off. For
this reason, it is important to remove the meat from the oven as soon as the
signal sounds.
• Meats continue to cook after being removed from the oven. As a suggestion,
set the internal temperature 5 degrees below the desired final degree of
doneness. Allow the "standing time" before carving (15 to 20 minutes) to
finish cooking the food.
• Use the roasting chart on page 17 as a guide to the length of cooking time to
help plan meal serving time for meats roasted in the convection oven.
• Use the handle of the probe for inserting or removing. Do not pull on the cable.
Use a potholder to remove since probe becomes hot.
• For frozen roasts, insert probe after 11/2to 2 hours.
• MEAL TEMP feature can be used to register internal temperature of other
foods, such as meat loaf.
• To clean cooled probe, wipe with a soapy dishcloth. Do not submerge probe
in water.

Broiling
The broil element provides flexibility for ,_:-._-.-
broiling foods. If you have a Jenn-Air
grill, we recommend you use the grill for
most of your broiling. There are some
types of foods that do require use of the
oven broil element. These include foods
such as stuffed lobsters, meringue pies,
or other foods which require top brown-
ing.
To Broil
1. Place oven rack on the rack position
suggested in the chart. Distance from
broiling element depends on foods
being prepared.Rack position #4
(second from the top) is usually rec-
ommended unless otherwise stated.
2. Turn SELECTQR knob to BRQIL
setting.
3. Turn TEMPERATURE knob to 550 °F.
4. Place food in oven on roasting pan
provided with oven after top broil ele-
ment is red. Preheating takes a few
minutes, or until element glows a
bright cherry red.
5. Leave oven door open at broilstop
position when broiling.
Broiling Tips
•Tender Cuts of meat or marinated meats are best for broiling. This includes rib
and loin cuts of steak, ground beef, ham steaks, lamb chops, poultry pieces or
fish. For best results, steaks should be at least 1" thick. Thinner steaks should
be pan broiled.
• Do not cover broiler grid with foil since this prevents fat drippings from draining
into bottom of pan.
• Before broiling, remove excess fat from meat and score edges of fat (do not cut
into meat) to prevent meat from curling. Salt after cooking.
