• Make sure racks are level.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a guide.

BAKEWARE
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2″ (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Use the following chart as a guide.

Bakeware
The bakeware material affects cooking results. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations and use the bakeware size recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.

Meat Thermometer
A meat thermometer is not supplied with this appliance. Follow manufacturer’s directions for using a meat thermometer. On models without a temperature probe, use a meat thermometer to determine whether meat, poultry and fish are cooked to the desired degree of doneness. The internal temperature, not appearance, should be used to determine doneness.

• A. Control panel
• B. Oven vent
• C. Oven door

The oven vent should not be blocked or covered since it allows the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Blocking or covering vents will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

Conventional

Grilling

Grilling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the temperature when grilling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower grilling temperatures.

• Use only the drip tray provided with the oven. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
• Use the high grilling function to cook larger quantities of meat.
• When grilling meat, add a little water to the drip tray to help avoid spatter and smoke.
• Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to avoid curling.
• For proper draining, do not cover the oven rack with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
• Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
• After grilling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.

Before grilling, position rack according to the “Cooking Chart” section. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless recommended in the recipe. Position food in the drip tray, then place it in the center of the oven rack.
During cooking, the oven door must remain closed.

Convection Cooking
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads.

• It is important not to cover foods with lids or aluminum foil so that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.
• Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only when necessary.
• Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
• Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the minimum cooking time with an alternative method such as using a toothpick.
• Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 places

Convection Bake

Convection baking and roasting can be used for roasting meats and poultry, or for baking yeast breads and loaf cakes using a single rack.
During Convection Bake, the bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
Reduce recipe temperature by turning the temperature control knob down 1 temperature setting. The cook time may need to be reduced also.

RECOMMENDED USE AND TIPS

Cooking different foods at the same time
Using the Forced Air function, you can cook different foods that require the same cooking temperature at the same time (for example: fish and vegetables), using different shelves. Remove the food that requires less cooking time and leave food that requires longer cooking time in the oven.
Desserts

• Cook delicate desserts with the conventional function on one shelf only. Use dark colored metal cake tins and always position them on the oven rack supplied. To cook on more than one shelf, select the forced air function and stagger the position of the cake tins on the shelves, aiding optimum circulation of the hot air.
• To check whether a raising cake is cooked, insert a wooden toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
• If using nonstick cake tins, do not butter the edges as the cake may not rise evenly around the edges.
• If the cake “sinks” during cooking, set a lower temperature the next time, perhaps reducing the amount of liquid in the mixture and mixing more gently.
• For sweets with moist fillings (cheesecake or fruit pies), use the Convection Bake function. If the base of the cake is soggy, lower the shelf and sprinkle the bottom of the cake with bread crumbs or biscuit crumbs before adding the filling.

Meat

• Use any kind of oven tray or glass dish suited to the size of the piece of meat being cooked. For pieces of roast, it is best to add some stock to the bottom of the dish, basting the meat during cooking for added flavor. When the roast is ready, let it rest in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or wrap it in aluminum foil.
• When you want to grill meat, choose cuts with an even thickness all over in order to achieve uniform cooking results. Very thick pieces of meat require longer cooking times. To keep the meat from burning on the outside, lower the position of the oven rack, keeping the food farther away from the grill.
• Turn the meat two-thirds of the way through cooking.
• To collect the cooking juices it is advisable to place a drip tray with ½ qt (½ L) of water directly under the grill on which the meat is placed. Add more water if necessary.

Pizza
Lightly grease the trays to ensure the pizza has a crispy base. Scatter the mozzarella over the pizza two-thirds of the way through cooking.
Rising
It is always best to cover the dough with a damp cloth before placing it in the oven. Dough proving time with this function is reduced by approximately one-third compared to proving at room temperature 68-77°F (20-25°C). Proving time for a 2.2 lb (1 kg) batch of pizza dough is around one hour.

Cooking Chart
How to Read the Cooking Chart
The following table indicates the best function to use for any given food, to be cooked on one or more shelves at the same time. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are purely for guidance and will depend on the amount of food and type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended values to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then move on to higher values. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark colored metal cake tins and oven trays. You can also use pans and accessories in glass or stoneware, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer. To obtain best results, follow the advice given in the cooking table for the choice of accessories (supplied) to be placed on the various shelves.

• Cooking times are evaluated at reference voltage 230 V. Values may change slightly when oven is powered at different voltages.
• Cooking time is approximate. Food can be removed from the oven at different times depending on personal preference.
