Jenn-Air Oven
Your Jenn-Air oven combines the best of two cooking methods:
convection and radiant bake (conventional) baking or roasting, in a self- cleaning oven.

Convection Cooking
The Jenn-Air convection oven is actually a conventional oven that circulates heated air within the oven. As both bake and broil heating elements cycle on and off with the thermostat, a fan keeps the heated air circulating around the food. The constantly recirculating heated air in the convection oven strips away the layer of cooler air that surrounds food, resulting in faster cooking times. Convection cooking also allows for multiple rack cooking as the distributed heat ensures even cooking throughout the oven. Additionally, convection roasted meats retain their natural flavor and juiciness with less shrinkage compared to radiant heat roasting.

Radiant Bake Oven
In addition to the benefits of convection cooking, your Jenn-Air oven also functions as a full-featured bake and broil oven. You can still cook your old favorite recipes using the radiant bake oven. This feature provides flexibility when convection cooking may not be as beneficial, such as when cooking foods in covered casseroles or clay pots.

18. DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of any oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns–among these surfaces are: oven ventopenings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, windows of oven doors.

ABOUT YOUR Jenn-Air Oven

Your Jenn-Air oven combines the best of two cooking methods, convection and radiant bake (conventional) baking or roasting, in a self-cleaning oven. The benefits of convection cooking, used by major restaurants and chefs all over the world for years, are yours with a simple turn of a dial. The Jenn-Air convection oven is actually a conventional oven that circulates heated air within the oven. As both bake and broil heating elements cycle on and off with the thermostat, a fan keeps the heated air circulating around the food. The constantly recirculating heated air in the convection oven strips away the layer of cooler air that surrounds food. Consequently, many foods cook more quickly. Distributed heat makes multiple rack cooking possible. Convection roasted meats retain their natural flavor and juiciness with less shrinkage than radiant heat 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 is convenient 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 Jenn-Air oven and will also assure you of achieving the finest cooking results with the foods you prepare.., year after year.

Baking

General Baking Recommendations

When cooking foods for the first time in your new oven, use recipe cooking times and temperatures as a guide.

• Use tested recipes from reliable sources.
• Preheat the oven only when necessary. For baked foods that rise and for richer browning, a preheated oven is better. Casseroles can be started in a cold oven. Preheating takes from 6 to 8 minutes; place food in oven after BAKE INDICATOR LIGHT cycles off.
• Arrange oven racks before turning on oven. Follow suggested rack positions on page 9 and in the various baking charts.
• Allow about 1 to 1-1/2 inches of space between the oven side walls and utensils to allow proper air circulation.
• When baking foods in more than one utensil, place them on opposite corners of the rack. Stagger utensils when baking on two racks so that one utensil does not shield another. (See above photo.)
• To conserve energy, avoid frequent or prolonged door openings. At the end of cooking, turn oven off before removing food.
• Always test for doneness (fingertip, toothpick, sides pulling away from pan). Do not rely on time or brownness as only indicators.
• Use good quality baking utensils and the size recommended in the recipe.
• Dull, dark, enameled or glass utensils will generally produce a brown, crisp crust. Shiny metal utensils produce a light, golden crust.
• Frozen pies in shiny aluminum pans should be baked on a cookie sheet on rack 1or be removed to a dull or glass pan. For multiple rack cooking use cookie sheets and bake on rack positions #1, 3 and 5.

Convection Baking Recommendations

As a general rule, when using recipes or prepared mixes developed for a radiant bake oven, set the oven temperature 25° F lower than the recipe recommended temperature. Times will be similar to or a few minutes less than recipe recommended times. The chart on page 12 compares times and temperatures of many baked foods. Use this as a reference.

• For better browning, large utensils such as cookie sheets, jelly roll pans, or rectangular baking pans should be placed lengthwise, front to back, on the rack. This centers the food in front of the convection fan for better air circulation which gives better overall browning. (See above photo.)
• Cookie sheets should be without sides and made of shiny aluminum. The best size to use for cookie sheets and jelly roll pans is 15 1/2 x 12-inches (overall size, including handles).

Baking chart

For Multiple Rack Baking, see page 14.

• The times given are based on specific brands of mixes or recipes tested.
  Actual times will depend on the ones you bake.

• The CONVECT temperature is 25°F lower than recommended on package mix or recipe.

Convection Baking of Frozen Convenience Foods

• Preheating the oven is not necessary.
• Follow package recommendations for oven temperature, foil covering and use of cookie sheets. Baking times will be similar. See chart below for some exceptions and examples.
• Center foods in the oven. If more than one food item is being baked, or if foods are being baked on multiple racks, stagger foods for proper air circulation.
• Most foods are baked on rack position #3.
• For multiple rack baking, use racks #1, 3, 5. However, pizzas should be placed on cookie sheets and baked on rack positions #2, 3, and 4.

Here are a few examples of times and temperatures:

Convection Cooking on Multiple Racks

For best results, bake foods on one rack at a time as described in this manual. However, very good results can be obtained when baking quantities of foods on multiple racks. Quantity cooking provides both time and energy savings. The convection oven is suggested for most multiple rack cooking, expecially three rack cooking, because the circulating heated air results in more even browning than radiant. For two rack cooking, the radiant bake oven provides very good baking results especially when pans can be staggered, such as with layer cakes. Many foods can be prepared on three racks at the same time. These are just a few examples: cookies, cakes (layer or sheet cakes), cupcakes, rolls, biscuits, muffins, pies, frozen convenience foods, pizzas, appetizers, and snack foods.

To obtain the best results in multiple rack cooking, follow these suggestions:

• Use temperature and times in this manual as a guide for best results.
• For two rack baking, rack positions #1 and 3 are best for most baked products but positions #2 and 4 also provide acceptable results.
• For three rack baking use position #1, 3 and 5. One exception is pizza (see page 13).
• Since foods on positions #1 and 5 will usually be done before foods on position #3, additional cooking time will be needed for browning foods on the middle rack. An additional 30 to 60 seconds are needed for thin foods such as cookies.
• For foods such as biscuits, rolls, or muffins, allow 1 to 2 more minutes. Frozen pies and pizzas, which should be baked on a cookie sheet, need about 2 to 4 more minutes.
• Stagger small utensils, such as layer cake pans, in the oven.
• Jelly roll pans and cookie sheets should be placed lengthwise, front to back, in front of the fan for more even browning.
• Oven meals are recommended for energy conservation. Use rack positions #1 and 3 or #1 and 4.

NOTE: Three racks provided with models W141 & W225 only.

Roasting

General Roasting Recommendations

• Preheating is not necessary.
• For open pan roasting, place meat or poultry on the slotted portion of the two piece pan included with the oven. Do not add water to the pan. Use open pan roasting for tender cuts of meat. Less tender cuts of meat need to be cooked by moist heat in a covered utensil.
• For best results, a meat thermometer is the most accurate guide to degree of doneness. See page 19 for directions on use of the MEAL TEMP feature as well as suggestions for placing a thermometer probe in meat and poultry. The suggestions for probe placement are also applicable to meat thermometers used with ovens without the MEAL TEMP feature.
• Place roast fat side up to allow self basting of meat during roasting.
• Since meats continue to cook after being removed from the oven, remove roast from oven when it reaches an internal temperature about 5 degrees below the temperature desired.
• For less loss of juices and easier carving, allow about 15 minutes “standing time” after removing meat from oven.
• For best results in roasting poultry, thaw completely. Due to the structure of poultry, partially thawed poultry will cook unevenly.

Radiant Bake Roasting Recommendations

• If preferred, tender cuts of meat can be roasted in the radiant bake oven by following the general recommendations given above. However, meats will roast more quickly in the convection oven.
• Radiant bake is best for less tender cuts of meat that require a longer, moist heat method of cooking. Follow your recipe for times and temperatures for covered meats.
• Cooking bags, Dutch ovens, covered roasting pans and utensils are best cooked in the radiant bake oven.
• Use meat roasting charts in standard cookbooks for recommended times and temperatures for roasting on radiant bake.

Convection Roasting Recommendations

• Tender cuts of meat and poultry can be quickly roasted to a rich golden brown in the convection oven. Follow general recommendations for roasting.
• Refer to convection meat roasting chart for recommended cooking temperature and time. The chart can serve as a guide to help plan meal serving time.
• Minutes per pound will vary according to the size, shape, quality, and initial temperature of meat as well as the electrical voltage in your area. Times are based on refrigerator cold meat.
• A large cut of meat will usually require fewer minutes per pound to roast than a smaller cut of meat.
• Do not use a roasting pan with high sides; use pan provided with oven.
• Do not cover meat. Allow the circulating hot air to surround the meat and seal in the juices.
• Since the breast meat on a large turkey cooks more quickly than the thigh area, place a “foil cap” over the breast area after desired brownness is reached to prevent overbrowning. (See above photo.)
• A stuffed turkey will require an extra 30-60 minutes depending on size. Dressing should reach an internal temperature of 165 ° .

Convection Roasting: Frozen to Finish

• Meats may be roasted frozen to finish. Follow these guidelines for the most satisfactory results.
• Use temperatures for roasting fresh meats as recommended by most cookbooks.
• Generally, most meats and turkey are roasted at 325 ° F. For best results do not use temperatures below 300 ° F.
• Use times for roasting fresh meats as given in your favorite cookbooks as approximate guides for roasting frozen meats. Roasting times will vary due to factors such as coldness of meat, size, quality, or cut. In general, roasting times for frozen to finish in the convection oven will be approximately the same as fresh to finish in a radiant bake oven.
• The guidelines given for roasting fresh meats in the convection oven also apply to roasting frozen meats.
• Insert meat thermometer mid-way during the cooking process.

Convection Roasting (Thawed Meats Only)

Meal Temp -Modew141

The MEAL TEMP feature enables you to cook meats and other foods without the chore of watching a thermometer. Upon reaching selected internal temperature, a signal will sound to
tell you the food is done and is ready to be removed from oven.

To Use Meal Temp Feature

1. Insert the skewer-like probe into the food item. For meats, the probe tip should be located in the center of the thickest part of the meat and not in fat or touching a bone.
2. Place the food in the oven using the rack position suggested on page 9.
3. Insert the probe plug into the receptacle located behind the metal cover plate on the right inside oven wall. Be certain to insert plug !nto the receptacle all the way.
4. Set the MEAL TEMP knob to the desired internal temperature of food.
5. Turn TEMPERATURE knob to desired oven temperature.
6. Turn SELECTOR knob to BAKE or CONVECT. To use MEAL TEMP feature with TIME BAKE or TIME CONVECT, follow directions below.
7. When the selected internal temperature of the meat has been reached, the MEAL TEMP light on the control panel will glow, the signal will sound, and the oven will cycle off. To stop buzzer, turn pointer to a higher internal temperature setting or unplug cable. Internal temperature of food can be determined at any time during cooking by turning dial down until the buzzer sounds.
8. Once the selected internal temperature is reached, REMOVE FOOD IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT OVERCOOKING. First, unplug the probe from the oven before removing food. Hold plug with potholder.
9. Turn TEMPERATURE and SELECTOR knobs to OFF position.
10. IMPORTANT: MEAL TEMP probe must be unplugged and removed from oven when it is not being used in a cooking procedure. Be sure metal cover is over receptable when MEAL TEMP feature is not being used.

To Use Meal Temp Feature with Time Bake or Time Convect

1. Turn SELECTOR knob to TIME BAKE or TIME CONVECT.
2. Set desired “Start” time. Push in and turn START knob to time you wish food to start cooking.
3. Set “Stop” time well in advance of projected time food should be done since the MEAL TEMP feature will automatically cycle the oven off once the desired internal temperature has been reached.

NOTE: Since food continues to cook if left in the oven, it is suggested that the clock controls be used primarily to start the oven when no one is in the kitchen to manually turn on the oven. However, provisions should be made to have the food removed as soon as the MEAL TEMP signal has sounded.

Hints on Successful Use of the Meal Temp Feature

• The probe should be located in the center of the thickest part of a roast. Plan the placement of the probe tip by laying it on the outside of the meat, marking with finger where edge of meat comes on the probe. Insert probe into thickest part of muscle up to the marking held by finger.
• Tip of probe should not touch fat, bone or gristle.
• For turkeys and large poultry products, insert probe into the thickest part of the inner thigh. Because of variables in cooking poultry, such as size and shape, use the thermometer as a guide to the degree of doneness but also use conventional methods, squeezing or wiggling drumstick, to test for doneness.
• Because of the excellent insulation of the oven, the retained heat continues to cook the meat after the signal has sounded and the oven has cycled off. For this reason, it is important to remove the meat from the oven as soon as the signal sounds.
• Meats continue to cook after being removed from the oven. As a suggestion, set the internal temperature 5 degrees below the desired final degree of doneness. Allow the “standing time” before carving (15 to 20 minutes) to finish cooking the food.
• Use the roasting chart on page 17 as a guide to the length of cooking time to help plan meal serving time for meats roasted in the convection oven.
• Use the handle of the probe for inserting or removing. Do not pull on the cable.
• Use a potholder to remove since probe becomes hot.
• For frozen roasts, insert probe after 11/2to 2 hours.
• MEAL TEMP feature can be used to register internal temperature of other foods, such as meat loaf.
• To clean cooled probe, wipe with a soapy dishcloth. Do not submerge probe in water.

Broiling

The broil element provides flexibility for , broiling foods. If you have a Jenn-Air grill, we recommend you use the grill for most of your broiling. There are some types of foods that do require use of the oven broil element. These include foods such as stuffed lobsters, meringue pies, or other foods which require top browning

To Broil

1. Place oven rack on the rack position suggested in the chart. Distance from broiling element depends on foods being prepared. Rack position #4 (second from the top) is usually recommended unless otherwise stated.
2. Turn SELECTQR knob to BRQIL setting.
3. Turn TEMPERATURE knob to 550 ° F.
4. Place food in oven on roasting pan provided with oven after top broil element is red. Preheating takes a few minutes, or until element glows a bright cherry red.
5. Leave oven door open at broil stop position when broiling

Broiling Tips

• Tender Cuts of meat or marinated meats are best for broiling. This includes rib and loin cuts of steak, ground beef, ham steaks, lamb chops, poultry pieces or fish. For best results, steaks should be at least 1″ thick. Thinner steaks should be pan broiled.
• Do not cover broiler grid with foil since this prevents fat drippings from draining into bottom of pan.
• Before broiling, remove excess fat from meat and score edges of fat (do not cut into meat) to prevent meat from curling. Salt after cooking
• To prevent tough surface on fish, brush melted butter on top.
• Foods that require turning should be turned only once during broiling. Turn meat with tongs to avoid piercing and loss of juices.
• Cooking times given in the chart are to be used only as a guide.
• The oven has a variable broil feature which means that the broiling temperature can be varied by selecting a lower temperature setting on the TEMPERATURE knob. Using a lower temperature setting will cause the broil element to cycle on and off. This feature can be used for foods that need to cook more slowly or need less radiant heat. If foods are broiling too fast, the control can be set at a lower temperature to reduce the cooking speed rather than moving the broiler pan to a lower rack.

NOTE: A fan should come on during the BROIL cycle. If it does not, the oven broil element will cycle on and off. If the fan does not operate, contact your authorized Jenn-Air Service Contractor for repair.

Oven Cleaning

How the Self-Cleaning Process Works
When the oven knobs are set to CLEAN, the oven heats to temperatures that are higher than those used for cooking. The high temperatures cause food soil to burn off and substantially disappear. While this occurs, a device in the oven vent helps t(_consume smoke. The oven is vented through an opening on top of the control panel.

How to Prepare Oven Before Operating the Self-Cleaning Process

• Remove the roasting pan and any other utensils from the oven. These utensils cannot withstand the high temperatures of the cleaning process.

• Clean spatters and spills from those areas which will not be cleaned during the self cleaning process:

  • center front of oven and door near opening in door gasket.
  • porcelain oven door liner (area outside the door gasket). (See photo at right.)
  • chrome finished oven front.
    NOTE: DO NOT CLEAN the serial plate located on the oven front.
    To clean, use hot water and detergent, non-abrasive cleansers or soap-filled steel wool pads (rub with the brushed grain on the oven front frame to prevent scratching). Rinse thoroughly, being careful not to use an excessive amount of water that would dampen the door gasket. Soil left in these areas will be more difficult to remove after the self-cleaning process since the high heat will bake on any soil that is present. DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS TO CLEAN THESE AREAS.

• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN, RUB, OR APPLY WATER TO GASKET ON OVEN DOOR. The gasket is essential for a good door seal. Rubbing or cleaning will damage the gasket and may affect the seal.

• Wipe up excess grease and food spillovers which have not baked on the bottom of the oven. Large accumulations of soil can cause heavy smoke or fire in the oven during the cleaning process.

• Although smoke or fire in the oven is a normal occurrence and there is no safety problem, there will be excessive venting of smoke and odor.
  The oven racks and rack supports can be cleaned in the oven. However, the oven racks and rack supports will discolor, lose shininess, and become more difficult to slide in and out if left in the oven during the cleaning process. REMOVE RACKS AND RACK SUPPORTS FROM OVEN IF THIS DISCOLORATION WILL BE OBJECTIONABLE. As a suggestion, do not leave the racks in the oven during each self-cleaning process if they do not need to be cleaned since they will discolor to a dull silver after many cleanings. Be sure to read special tips on page 25 if oven racks are cleaned during the self-cleaning process.

• Be sure metal cover plate is covering the receptacle tor the MEAL TEMP probe.

Steps to Follow for Self-Cleaning Process

1. Turn SELECTOR knob to CLEAN.

2. Turn TEMPERATURE knob fully clockwise to CLEAN until it comes to a full stop. The door cannot be locked if TEMPERATURE knob is not in the CLEAN position.

3. To set timer for desired cleaning time, use one of the following procedures:
   To set oven to start cleaning immediately:

   • Check START dial to be certain pointer is at the same time of day as the oven clock. If not, turn until knob pops out and cannot be turned.

   • Push in and turn STOP time dial 2 to 21/2hours beyond time indicated on the clock to clean an average soiled oven. If heavily soiled, set ahead 3 hours.
     To set oven to start cleaning at a later time:

   • Push in and turn START dial to the time desired for the self-cleaning process to begin.

   • Push in and turn STOP dial to 2 to 21/2hours beyond time set for start. If oven is heavily soiled, set ahead 3 hours.

4. Close oven door.

5. Depress DOOR LOCK SWITCH on control panel. Simultaneously, move DOOR LOCK LEVER to the full right position; then release DOOR LOCK SWITCH.

6. The oven CLEAN INDICATOR LIGHT will glow when all steps are completed properly when set for a delayed start.

7. The cleaning process begins immediately unless the self-cleaning process has been set for a delayed start. When the oven temperature reaches 550°, the LOCK INDICATOR LIGHT will glow and the door cannot be opened until the temperature drops below 550° . DO NOT TRY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR WHILE LOCK INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON. The normal cleaning process takes the time selected on the clock plus about 45 minutes for the oven to cool down before the LOCK INDICATOR LIGHT goes out and the door can be opened.

8. After the LOCK INDICATOR LIGHT goes out, depress the DOOR LOCK SWITCH while simultaneously moving the DOOR LOCK LEVER to the left. The oven door can now be opened.

9. Turn the SELECTOR and TEMPERATURE knobs from CLEAN to OFF after the door is unlocked.

IMPORTANT: IF THE TEMPERATURE KNOB IS TURNED TO OFF BEFORE THE DOOR IS UNLOCKED, THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. Forcing the lock will damage the lock mechanism. Return TEMPERATURE knob to CLEAN, unlock the door, then turn TEMPERATURE knob OFF.
NOTE: A fan comes on whenever the SELECTOR knob is set to CLEAN. Therefore, I the fan will continue to operate at the end of the cleaning process until the SELECTOR  knob is turned OFF. The fan will also start as soon as the controls are set for a delayed start of the self-cleaning process.

To stop cleaning process before lock light comes on

1. Depress DOOR LOCK SWITCH while simultaneously moving DOOR LOCK LEVER to the left.
2. Turn SELECTOR and TEMPERATURE knobs from CLEAN to OFF.
3. Turn STOP time dial until it pops out. Pointer should be at the same time of day as the oven clock.

To stop cleaning process after lock light comes on

1. Turn the STOP time dial until the knob pops out and the CLEAN INDICATOR LIGHT goes out.
2. Leave the TEMPERATURE and SELECTOR knobs in the CLEAN position.
3. Allow oven to cool until the LOCK INDICATOR LIGHT goes out. This may take up to 45 minutes, depending on how long the oven has been on.
4. After LOCK INDICATOR LIGHT goes off, depress the DOOR LOCK SWITCH while simultaneously moving the DOOR LOCK LEVER to the left.
5. Turn SELECTOR and TEMPERATURE knobs from CLEAN to O

NOTE: When SELECTOR knob is turned to CLEAN, a fan comes on. If this fan is not operating, the oven will go through the self-cleaning process at a reduced oven temperature and the oven will not clean effectively. If the fan does not operate, contact your Jenn-Air Authorized Service Contractor for service

More Information on the Self-Cleaning Process
A slight odor may be detected, and if an oven is heavily soiled, some smoke may be visible. Some smoke and odor during the cleaning process is a normal occurrence. Since the oven is vented in the front, vapors, moisture, etc. may be seen coming from this area.

• During the cleaning process, do not be alarmed if an occasional flame is visible through the oven window. This is caused by excessive food soil that was not removed before the oven was set to clean.
• SINCE THE DOOR AND WINDOW OF THE OVEN WILL GET WARM DURING THE SELF-CLEANING PROCESS, AVOID CONTACT.
• Some types of soil may disintegrate but leave a light film or heavier deposit of ash. The amount of ash depends on the amount of soil which was in the oven. After oven has cooled, this ash may be removed with a damp sponge. If other dark deposits remain after wiping with a sponge, the time set for the length of cleaning was not enough. Increase the cleaning time for future cleanings. The normal cleaning time is 2 to 21/2hours. More than 3 hours may be selected if necessary.

If racks have been left in oven during the cleaning process, they should be treated as follows. After the cleaning process is completed and the oven has cooled, rub lightly the underside of rack edges and the front edges of the rack supports with a coating of vegetable shortening, peanut oil or corn oil. Use a light application of oil so it does not soil the oven. As a suggestion, use fingertips to apply oil. This will make the cleaned racks slide more easily.

• To remove occasional spillovers between cleanings, use a soap-filled scouring pad or mild cleanser; rinse well.
• It is better to clean the oven regularly rather than waiting until there is a heavy buildup of soil in the oven.
• During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to help eliminate normal odors associated with cleaning.
• Any attempt to force the self-clean DOOR LOCK LEVER to lock or unlock without electric power applied to the door or with the TEMPERA TURE knob in any position other than CLEAN may result in damage to the door locking mechanism.
• DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS IN OR AROUND THE SELFCLEANING OVEN AREA.
• DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL OR OTHER OVEN LINERS IN THE OVEN.
