IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

CORD AND PLUG SAFETY

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If an extension cord is used:
  a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance; and
  b. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

ELECTRICAL POLARIZED PLUG
This unit has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, the plug is intended to be used by inserting it into the electrical outlet  only one way. If the plug does not fit securely into the outlet, reverse the plug and re-insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician for assistance. Do not modify the plug in any way.

CONVECTION TIPS

TIPS ON USING THE CONVECTION SETTING
Because convection cooks foods faster and is hotter, you can reduce the cooking temperature by 25°, and check for doneness three quarters of the way through the cook  time.
Foods that are covered benefit from the convection’s even heat and will cook faster without any moisture loss.
The high temperature air circulation produces roasted foods that are golden brown on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside.
Even cooking means that you can use more than one rack and you do not have to turn foods or rotate baking trays.
Below are foods that benefit from the convection setting and when to use it:

Convection roast:
Meat, vegetables, whole fish
Convection Bake:
Pies, pastries, cookies, biscuits
Convection Broil:
Meat, fish, for melting cheese, for browning the top of casseroles
Pizza:

• Use the lower rack position and check often so the cheese does not burn.
• Start with no convection and then turn on convection for the last few minutes to brown cheese.

Not recommended for:
Custards and flans, souffles, cakes, quickbreads, breads

Additional tips:

• Make sure air can circulate around food and pans.
• Use trays, roasting pans, and baking pans with lower sides.
• Do not cover the oven shelves with foil.
