About Your Jenn-Air
Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air wall oven. Your Jenn-Air
convection oven combines thebest of two cooking methods, convection and
radiant bake (conventional) baking or roasting, in a self-cleaning oven.
The Jenn-Air convection oven is actually a conventional oven that circulates
heatedairwithinthe oven. As bothbake andbroil heatingelementscycle onand
off withthe thermostat, a fan keepsthe heated aircirculating around the food.
The constantly recirculating heated air inthe convection oven strips away the
layer of cooler air that surrounds food. Consequently, many foods cook more
quickly. Distributed heat makes multiple rack cooking possible. Convection
roastedmeats retain their natural flavor and juiciness with lessshrinkage than
radiant bake roasting.
Inaddition to the many exclusive benefits of convection cooking, your oven is
also a fine full featured "bake and broil" oven.
You cancook your "oldfavorite" recipesas you have in the past. The radiant
bake oven also gives you the flexibility of preparing various foods when
convection cookingmay not beasbeneficial,aswhen cooking foods incovered
casseroles orclay pots.
The broilelement isconvenient for top browning and oven broiling offoods.
The time bake feature can be used with eitherthe convection or radiant bake
oven.
Beforeyou begincookingwith yournewoven,pleasetakeafew minutesto read
and become familiar with the instructions in this book. On the following pages
youwillfindawealth ofinformationregardingallaspects ofusingyournewoven.
Byfollowingthe instructionscarefully,you will beabletofully enjoy andproperly
maintain your oven and achieve excellent results with the food you prepare.

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 beworn while using theappliance.
5. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing
should be referred to an authorized Jenn-Air Service Con-
tractor.
6. Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven.
7. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire orflame 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 potholder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth.
9.Use care when opening oven door.Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
10. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure
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 betaken 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 forfan. 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 sur-
faces are: oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven doors,windows of oven doors.
IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE AND WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of
1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the State of California to
cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposures to such substances. Users
ofthis appliance are hereby warned that when the oven isengaged
in the self-clean cycle, there may be some low level exposure to
some of the listed substances, including Carbon Monoxide. Expo-
sure to these substances can be minimized by properly venting the
range to the outdoors during the self-clean cycle.

Baking
General Baking Recommendations
• When cooking foods forthe first time inyour new oven, use recipecooking times
and temperatures as a guide.
• Use tested recipes from reliable sources.
• Preheatthe oven onlywhen necessary. For bakedfoods that riseand for richer
browning, a preheated oven isbetter. Casseroles can bestarted in acold oven.
Preheatingtakesfrom8to12minutes; placefoodinovenafter PREIndicatorWord
cycles off.
• Arrange oven racksbefore turning onoven. Follow suggested rack positionson
page 11 and in various baking charts.
• Allowabout ItoII/2inchesofspace betweenthe ovensidewalls and panstoallow
proper air circulation.
• When bakingfoods in morethan one pan, placethem onopposite corners of the
rack. Stagger pans when baking on two racks so that one pan does not shield
another unless shielding is intended.(See above)
• 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 pans and the size recommended in the recipe.
• Dull, dark, enameled or glass pans will generally produce a brown, crisp crust.
Shiny metal pans produce a light, golden crust.
• Frozen pies in shiny aluminum pans should be baked on a cookie sheet on rack
2 or be removed to a dull or glass pan.
NOTE: Acooling fanwill cycleonduring baking androasting. Thefanmay alsocontinue
to operate after the oven is turned off until the oven has cooled down.

recipe.
15

Convection Baking Recommendations
• As a general rule, when using recipes or prepared mixes developed for a radiant
bake oven, set the oven temperature 25°Flower than thereciperecommended
temperature.Times will be similar to or a few minutes less than recipe recom-
mended times.The chart on page 15 compares times and temperatures of many
baked foods. Use this as a reference.
• Forbetterbrowning, large pans such as cookie sheets or rectangular baking pans
should beplacedlengthwise, 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.
• Cookie sheets shouldbe withoutsides and made ofshiny aluminum. The best size
to usefor cookie sheets is 14"x 12" (overall size includes handles).
Causes of Cake Failure

ConvectionBaking of FrozenConvenience
Foods
•Preheating the oven isnot necessary.
•Followpackage recommendations foroven temperatu re, foilcovering and use of
cookie sheets. Baking times willbe similar. See chart below for some exceptions
andexamples.
•Center foods inthe oven. Ifmore than one food item is being baked or iffoods
are being baked on multiple racks, stagger foods for proper air circulation.
•Most foods are baked on rack position #30.
•For multiple rack baking, use racks #1,30 and 4. However, pizzas should be
placed on cookie sheets and baked on rack position #2o, 3 and 4.

ConvectionCooking on Multiple Racks
Forbest results, bakefoods onone rack atatime asdescribed inthis manual. However,
very good results can be obtained when baking quantities of foods on multiple racks.
Quantity cooking provides both timeand energy savings.
The convection oven issuggested for mostmultiple rack cooking, especially three rack
cooking, because thecirculating heated air results in moreeven browningthan radiant.
Fortworack cooking,theradiantbakeovenprovides verygood baking resultsespecially
when pans can be staggered, such as with layer cakes and fresh pies.
Many foods can be prepared on three racks at the same time.These are just a few
examples: cookies, cupcakes, rolls, biscuits, muffins, pies, frozen convenience foods,
pizzas, appetizers, and snackfoods.
Toobtain the best results in multiple rack cooking, follow these suggestions:
•Use temperature and times in this manual as a guide for best results.
• Fortwo rack baking, rackpositions #20 and 4 are best for mostbaked products but
positions #2 and 4 also provide acceptable results.
• Forthree rackbaking usepositions#1,3o and4. One exceptionispizza.(Seepage
17.)
• Sincefoods onpositions #1and 4 willusually be done beforefoods on position #3o,
additional cooking time will be needed for browning foods on the middle rack. An
additional minute is needed for thin foods such as cookies. For foods such as
biscuits,rolls, or muffins, allow 1to2 more minutes.Frozenpies and pizzas, which
should be baked on a cookie sheet, need about 2 to 4 more minutes.
• Stagger small pans, such as layer cake pans, in the oven.
• Frozen piesin shinyaluminum pans should beplacedoncookie sheets and baked
on rack positions #1,3o and 4.
• Cookiesheets shouldbeplaced lengthwise, fronttoback,infront ofthefanfor more
evenbrowning.
• Ovenmeatsare recommendedforenergy conservation. Use rack positions#1 and
30 or #20 and 4.
18

Convection Roasting Recommendations
•Tender cuts of meatand poultry can be roasted toa rich golden brown in the
convectionoven.Follow general recommendations for roasting.
• Referto convection meatroasting chartfor recommended cookingtemperature 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 ofmeat aswell astheelectrical voltage inyour area. Timesare based
on refrigerator cold meat.
• A large cut of meatwill usually requirefewer minutes per pound to roast thana
smaller cut of meat.
• Do not usea 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,
placea"foil cap"overthebreast area after desiredbrownness isreachedtoprevent
over browning. (See above)
