COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry
to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne illness.
OpeagIructions
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
■Do not clean the door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket.
■Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
■Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
■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. Residue from
oven cleaners will damage the inside of the
oven when the self-clean cycle is used.
■If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the oven off and disconnect the power
supply. Have it serviced by a qualified
technician.

Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Never entirely cover a shelf with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the food.
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a

Using the convection oven.
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of
time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.
To help you understand the difference
between convection bake and roast and
Roasting rack
traditional bake and roast, here are some
general guidelines.
Post
Convection Bake
Grid
OpeagIructions
■Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked
on multiple shelves.
In a convection oven, a fan
circulates hot air over, under and
around the food.
■Good for large quantities of baked foods.
Broiler pan
■Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins,
brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls,
angel food cake and bread.
This circulating hot air is evenly
distributed throughout the oven
cavity. As a result, foods are evenly
cooked and browned—often in less
time with convection heat.
Heat comes from the heating element in
the rear of the oven. The convection fan
circulates the heated air evenly over and
around the food. Preheating is not
necessary with foods having a bake time
of over 15 minutes.
Offset shelf (27″ models only)
(appearance may vary)
Place the meat on the special roasting
rack. The rack holds the meat. The rack
allows the heated air to circulate under
the meat and increase browning on the
underside of the meat or poultry.
Convection Roast
■Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
rdCleaing
Heat comes from the top heating
element. The convection fan circulates
the heated air evenly over and around the
food. Meat and poultry are browned on
all sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. Using the roasting rack
provided, heated air will be circulated
over, under and around the food being
roasted. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.
■Place the shelf (on 27″ models use
the offset shelf) in the lowest shelf
position (A).
■Place the grid on the broiler pan and
put the roasting rack over them making
sure the posts on the roasting rack fit
into the holes in the broiler pan.
T
rubleshotingT
CAUTION: When you are using the offset shelf
(on 27” models) in the lowest position (A), you
will need to use caution when pulling the shelf
out. We recommend that you pull the shelf out
several inches and then, using two pot holders,
pull the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The
offset shelf is low and you could be burned if you
place your hand in the middle of the shelf and pull
all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your
hand on the door when using a shelf in the lowest
position (A).
Roasts or poultry should be cooked on a shelf (on
27” models use the offset shelf) in the lowest
shelf position (A).
When you are convection roasting it is
important that you use the broiler pan
and grid and the special roasting rack for
best convection roasting results. The pan
is used to catch grease spills and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters.

Using the convection oven.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking
with several pans, leave space between
them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch
each other or the walls of the oven.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended for
convection baking.
SafeyIructions
■Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended for use
in regular ovens can be used in
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is
heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F.
can also be used.
■Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies, you will get the
best results if you use a flat cookie sheet
instead of a pan with low sides.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.

Multi-Shelf Baking
When convection baking with only 1 shelf, follow 27” Ovens

When baking on 3 shelves, divide the
oven into thirds by placing the offset shelf
in the third (C) shelf position and the
straight shelves in first (A) and fourth (D)
shelf positions.
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple shelves.

For two-shelf baking, place the offset shelf
in the bottom (A) shelf position. Place

Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times
slightly for some foods but the overall
result is time saved. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits, and other quickbreads give very
good results with multi-shelf baking.
CAUTION: When you are using the offset shelf
(on 27” models) in the lowest position (A), you

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
rdCleaing
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor of
baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable for easier
access to the light bulb.
To clean the outside of the door:
■ Use soap and water to thoroughly clean
the top, sides and front of the oven
door. Rinse well. You may also use a
glass cleaner to clean the glass on the
outside of the door. Do not let water
drip into the vent openings.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
To remove the door, open it to the broil
stop position. Grasp firmly on each side
and lift the door straight up and off the
hinges.
■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices,
tomato sauces and basting materials
containing acids may cause
discoloration and should be wiped up
immediately. When surface is cool,
clean and rinse.
Do not place hands between the hinge and the
oven door frame.
rdCleaing
Lift the door straight up and off
the hinges.
To replace the door, make sure the hinges
are in the broil stop position. Position the
slots in the bottom of the door squarely
over the hinges and slowly lower it over
both hinges.
■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning
powders or harsh abrasives on the
outside of the door.
To clean the inside of the door:
■ Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you
do not need to clean this by hand.
The gasket is designed with a gap at
the bottom to allow for proper air
circulation.

■ The area outside the gasket and the
front frame can be cleaned with a soap-
filled steel wool or plastic pad, hot
water and detergent. Rinse well with a
vinegar and water solution.
Do not rub or clean the door
gasket—it has an extremely low
resistance to abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming
worn, frayed or damaged in any way
or if it has become displaced on the
door, you should have it replaced.
