About YourJenn-Air Oven
Congratulations on your choice of a Jenn-Air wall oven.
Your Jenn-Air convection oven combines the best of two cooking methods,
convection and radiant bake (conventional) baking or roasting. (Note: Only Models
W136,W206,WM227, WM236 havethe convection option.)
The Jenn-Air convection oven isactually aconventional oventhat circulates heated
air within the oven. As both bake and broil heating elements cycle on and off
with the thermostat, a fan keepsthe heated air circulating around the food.
The constantly recirculating heated air in the convection oven strips away the
layerof cooler airthat surrounds food. Consequently, many foods cook more quickly.
Evenly distributed heat makes multiple rack cooking possible. Convection roasted
meats retain their natural flavor and juiciness with less shrinkage than radiant bake
roasting.
In addition to the many exclusive benefits of convection cooking,your Jenn-
Air oven is also a fine full-featured "bake and broil" oven.
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 isconvenient 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 carefully. This will enable you to fully
enjoy and properly maintain your denn-Air oven and will also assure you of achieving
the finest cooking results with the foods you prepare.
"Complete Cooking with Jenn-Air"cookbook features outstanding recipes and
cooking tips you'll enjoy using with your new Jenn-Air wall oven. A big section
on oven baking contains instructions for both convection and conventional baking
of each recipe. The cookbook also contains information on using a Jenn-Air grill
and the various cooktop accessories. Our deluxe hardcover edition is composed
of over 400 recipes with hundreds of food and "How to do it" photos (Model A905).
NOTE: Use the information in this use and care as guidelines for rack positions,
times, and settings when using the recipes in the cookbook.
