Before using your appliance for the first time, be sure to:
1. Read all the instructions included in this manual.
2. Remove all packaging materials from the appliance.
3. Make sure that the oven is unplugged and the Timer Control (F) is in the
“OFF” position.
4. Wash the accessories (M, N, O, P, T, ) in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher.
Also remove the rotisserie skewer (Q), and the skewer clamps (R) from the
packaging and wash these in hot, soapy water.
5. Thoroughly dry all accessories and re-assemble inside the oven. Plug the
oven into a wall outlet and you are ready to use your new Convection Oven with
Rotisserie.
6. After re-assembling your oven, we recommend that you run it at the highest
temperature (450°F) on the Toast Function for approximately 15 minutes to
eliminate any packing residue that may remain after shipping. This will remove
all traces of odor or smoking that is initially present.
PLEASE NOTE:
The initial 15 minutes of use may result in minimal smell and smoke. This is normal
and harmless and comes from the protective substance applied to the heating
elements during manufacturing.
Please familiarize yourself with the following oven functions
and accessories prior to first use:
Temperature Control (I): Choose the desired temperature from Keep Warm
to 450°F for baking or rotisserie.
Function Control (G): This oven is equipped with five settings for a variety
of cooking needs.

Getting Started:
Overview of How It Works
Before Using for the First Time
Convection Oven Use
1•888•557•3848
Wards.com
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,
Broil, Rotisserie, Convection Toast and Convection Bake. The Oven has a
special recessed area to accommodate a 12-inch frozen pizza.
BAKING
•Lowerthetemperatureindicatedinyourrecipesbyabout25°F,
but cook for the indicated time.
•Forcookiesandcakes,useshiny,brightaluminumorsteelpans.
They reflect heat and allow for more delicate browning.
•Forbreadsandpies,usedarkordullaluminumorsteelpans.They
absorb heat and result in darker browning.
ROASTING
•Whenroastingmeats,cookaccordingtotheindicatedtemperaturebut
cut cooking time by about 25 percent.

Otherwise food won't brown as well.
•Don'tusealid.Itpreventsthecirculatingairfromreachingthefood.
•Whencookinginafulloven,payattentiontohowthefoodbrowns,as
you might still have to rotate the pans in the convection oven to ensure
even cooking.
We recommend that you do not cook a roast/chicken larger than 4-5 lbs. on the
skewer (Q). Chicken should be bound in food ties/string to prevent chicken legs or
wings from unraveling during cooking; and to keep the rotisserie assembly rotat-
ing smoothly. For best results, we recommend that you preheat the oven for 15
minutes on 450°F.
OPERATION:
•Setthetemperaturecontrol(I)to450°F.
•TurntheFunctionControl(G)toROTISSERIE.Insertthepointedendofthe

the skewer clamp (R) face in the same direction as the pointed end of the
rotisserie skewer. Slide the skewer clamp (R) towards the square end of the
skewer (Q) and secure with a thumbscrew (S).
•Placefoodtobecookedontotherotisserieskewer(Q)byinsertingtheskewer
directly through the center of the food. Push food all the way to the end until the
skewer clamp (R) pierces the food to secure.

remind you to check the meat temperature periodically.
•Whencomplete,turntheTimerControl(F)tothe“OFF”position.
•RemovetheskewerbyplacingthehooksoftheRotisserieRemovalHandle(T)
under the grooves on either side of the skewer (Q). Lift the left side of the
rotisserie skewer first by lifting it up and out. Then pull the rotisserie skewer
out of the drive socket and carefully remove the roast from the oven. Take the
meat off of the rotisserie skewer (Q) and place on cutting board or platter.

Timer Control (F): When you turn the control to the left (counter-clockwise),
the oven will stay “ON” until it is manually shut “OFF”. To activate the timer segment
of the control, turn to the right (clockwise) to toast or use as a timer. This function
also has a bell that rings at the end of the programmed time.
On-Light Indicator (H): It is illuminated whenever the oven is turned on.
Wire Rack (N): For toasting, baking and general cooking for casserole dishes and
standard pans.
Bake/Roasting Pan (M): For use in broiling and roasting.
Tray/Rack Handle (O): Allows you to pick up the wire rack (N) and bake tray (M)
when they are hot and remove from the oven.
Rotisserie Skewer (Q): Roasts a variety of meats and poultry so they are very
tender and juicy inside, and browned to perfection outside. (Used with Rotisserie
Clamps & Thumbscrews (R & S) to secure food to the Skewer.)
Rotisserie Removal Handle (T): Used for removing the rotisserie skewer from the
oven after your food is done.
WARNING:
TO AVOID RISK OF INJURY OR BURNS,
DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES WHEN THE OVEN
IS IN USE. ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS USE EXTREME CARE WHEN REMOVING ROTISSERIE,
BAKE TRAY, WIRE RACK, CRUMB TRAY OR ANY HOT CONTAINER
FROM THE HOT OVEN. ALWAYS USE THE TRAY/RACK HANDLE,
ROTISSERIE REMOVAL HANDLE OR AN OVEN MITT
WHEN REMOVING THESE ITEMS.
