Congratulationson yourchoiceofaJenn-Airelectricrange. YourJenn-
Air self-cleaningrange combinesthe best of four cookingmethods,
convectionbaking,convectionroasting,conventionalbakingor roast-
ing,and broiling.
The Jenn-Air convectionoven is actuallya conventionaloven that
circulatesheated airwithintheoven. As both bakeand broilheating
elementscycleon and offwiththe thermostat,a fan keepstheheated
air circulatingaroundthefood. The constantlyrecirculatingheatedair
intheconvectionovenstripsawaythe layerofcoolerairthatsurrounds
thefood. Consequently,many foodscook morequickly. Distributed
heat makesmultiplerackcooking possible. Convection roasted meats

tional roasting.
In addition to themany exclusive benefits of convectioncooking, your
