INTRODUCTION
The Waring®Commercial Convection Oven takes countertop
cooking to a whole new level. Convection baking uses a rear
heating element with fan to circulate heated air, maintaining the
selected temperature throughout the oven cavity. This constant ow
of air eliminates the hot and cold spots often found in conventional
ovens. Because the temperature remains consistent when using
convection bake, you can set oven approximately 25°F lower than
a conventional oven, thus saving energy. Cooking time is also
reduced by approximately 25 to 30 percent. Use your convection
oven to roast meat or whole chickens, bake cakes, cookies and
more. Safe and easy to use. Exceptionally quick to clean. It’s a
better way to cook!

BEFORE USING YOUR OVEN
Before using your oven for the rst time, be sure to:
• Wash the wire racks and baking tray with soapy water, rinse
with clear water and dry. These parts should be cleaned and
thoroughly dried by hand only.
• Use a damp cloth to lightly wipe the inner walls of the oven. Use
a small amount of detergent, but don’t use a spray or abrasive
polishing agent. Do not touch the electric heating tubes and do
not soak the inside of the oven with water.
• Place the wire racks and baking tray inside the oven.
• Preheat the oven. First close the oven door and then preheat
the oven at the highest temperature for a minimum of
5 minutes. The oven may emit an odor. This is normal and
should dissipate. Note: This odor is not harmful.
• Turn off the oven and allow to cool. Remove any smoke residue
inside the oven with a damp cloth.
• Do not block the exhaust vents.
FUNCTION GUIDELINES
IMPORTANT: When using smaller baking trays, use only the wire
racks for support.
Bake
Your convection oven is equipped with three wire racks and has

10
four rack positions (see diagram, page 12). The racks can be easily
removed and arranged at various levels. For best results when using
the oven for conventional baking, do not use more than one rack at
a time.
• Set wire rack to desired position.
• Set the Function knob to Bake.
• Set the Temperature knob as specied in your recipe.
• Set the Timer, if desired, for up to 120 minutes. If the
baking time is less than 20 minutes, rst turn the timer past
the 20-minute mark and turn it back to the desired time. If a
longer baking time is required, turn the timer directly to the
desired time.
• If not using the timer, set timer to OVEN ON position.
• Always use a potholder or oven mitt when removing hot food
from the oven.
Convection Bake
The general rule for using most regular baking recipes with a
convection oven is to reduce the suggested temperature given
in the recipe by 25˚F. For roasting larger items such as meats or
roasts, use the same temperature as indicated, but the cooking
time may be reduced.
In any case, always check your baked items 10 minutes before
cooking time indicates. For larger roasted items such as meats,
start checking 20 to 40 minutes before the set cooking time
is reached.
With convection baking, the key is the airow. Avoid using baking
dishes with high sides. For example, even when baking cookies, try
to use a cookie sheet with no sides. For roasting meats use shallow
baking trays as opposed to large, high-sided roasting pans. For the
same reason, you'll want to avoid cooking anything with a lid when
you use the convection feature, as the lid blocks the airow.
• Set wire rack to desired position.
• Set the Function knob to Convection Bake.
• Set the Temperature knob to the desired level.
• Set the Timer, if desired. If the baking time is less than 20
minutes, rst turn the timer clockwise past the 20-minute mark
and turn it back to the desired time.

11
If a longer baking time is required, turn the timer directly to
the desired time. If not using the timer, set timer to OVEN ON
position.
• If required to catch drips, place the baking tray one level below
the wire rack. The tray and the rack should be set at different
levels for satisfactory air convection.
• When you are using the baking tray, in particular in position 1
(bottom rack position), make sure the tray is centered so that
you have an air passageway in the back as well as the front of
the oven.
• Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing hot food
from the oven.
Roast
• Set wire rack to desired position.
• Set the Function knob to Roast.
• Set the temperature to the desired level.
• Set the time, if desired.
• Set the Timer, if desired. If the roasting time is less than 20
minutes, rst turn the timer clockwise past the 20-minute mark
and turn it back to the desired time.
If a longer baking time is required, turn the timer directly to
the desired time. If not using the timer, set timer to OVEN ON
position.
• If required to catch drips, place the baking tray one level below
the wire rack. The tray and the rack should be set at different
levels for satisfactory air convection.
• Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing hot food
from the oven.
Broil
• Set rack to position #4 or desired position (see page 12).
• Set the Function knob to Broil.
• Set the timer, if desired. If the broiling time is less than
20 minutes, rst turn the timer clockwise past the 20-minute
mark and turn it back to the desired time. If a longer broiling
time is required, turn the timer directly to the desired time.
• Keep door ajar.

TIPS AND HINTS
• It is important to rotate any item you are baking in the oven to
ensure even cooking.
• It is recommended to bake using one rack at a time. If you do
bake with more than one rack, be sure to rotate both the baking
trays and their rack positions halfway through bake time.
• To ensure even ow of air when using baking tray or other
utensils, do not slide tray to the back of oven. Leave about 1 to
2 inches of air space around all sides of each pan for even air
circulation.
• Make sure the wire racks are in the desired position before you
turn on the oven.
• Bake on the shortest time suggested and check for doneness
before adding more time.
USE AND CARE
Always allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.
1. Always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet before
cleaning.
2. After the oven cools, use a damp cloth or sponge to clean
interior and exterior surfaces.
3. Do not soak the inside of the oven or wash it in running water,
as this will cause serious damage to the appliance.
4. Do not use any sharp or hard kitchen utensils on the oven, as
this could damage the surface of the appliance.
5. The wire racks and baking tray should be hand washed only.
6. To clean the glass door, use a glass cleaner or a damp cloth.

9. Should the oven light located in upper back right-hand side
of the oven become loose during shipping, please follow the
steps to afx or replace light bulb:

14
INSTALLING & REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT
In the top right hand corner of your oven is a halogen light bulb,
which offers a longer lifespan than standard light bulbs and is able
to withstand high temperatures. Purchase a new 120V 25 watt G9
halogen light bulb at your local hardware store and insert it as follows:
1. Be sure that the oven is unplugged and completely cooled.
2. Remove the screw from the cover with a Phillips head screw driver.
3. Remove the cover.
4. Remove the old light bulb by pulling it out of the socket base
(toward the front of the oven).
5. Follow the guidelines on the light bulb instructions, without
touching the light bulb with your bare hand (as this will reduce
the lifespan). You can use a clean tissue or cloth glove to hold the
bulb. Install the new bulb in the socket base by gently pushing
it into place.
6. Replace the cover and secure it tight with a Phillips head screw driver.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.

El horno de convección Waring®Commercial toma la cocción
sobre la encimera a un nivel completamente nuevo. La cocción
por convección utiliza un elemento calefactor trasero junto con un
ventilador que hace circular el aire caliente adentro del horno para
mantener la temperatura constante. Este flujo de aire constante
elimina las subidas/bajadas de temperatura comunes con los
hornos tradicionales. La cocción por convección permite usar
temperaturas de cocción 25°F (10°C) más bajas que los hornos
tradicionales y reduce el tiempo de cocción en un 25–30%,
ahorrando energía. Utilice su nuevo horno de convección para asar
carne o pollos enteros y hacer pasteles, galletas y mucho más de
manera rápida, segura y fácil. Es muy fácil de limpiar. ¡Es una mejor
forma de cocinar!
