PLEASE NOTE: Hinge Locks may become jostled into the unlocked position by rough handling of the carton during shipping, causing the door to be unhinged from the oven when the carton is opened.

If this occurs, follow the directions for attaching the door.

IMPORTANT NOTES

1. Carefully remove the protective film from the external stainless steel

walls before using oven for the first time. If any glue residue should

remain, remove it with a suitable solvent recommended for stainless.

2. Your unit is equipped with a grounded, current-carrying plug. This plug will fit into any 3 pronged outlet. This is a SAFETY feature.

3. Electrical connection must be a proper outlet for the 3 pronged cord.

Before connecting power, make sure the voltage and frequency

correspond to the data plate on the oven (120 volts/60hz.) , and that your electrical circuit can handle the 12.5 Amps used by the oven in addition to any other appliances operating on the same circuit.

4. A short power cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from accidents such as tripping, entanglement, etc.

Reset button

CAP

5. This oven is equipped with a manually resettable thermal breaker for protection against overheating. It completely deactivates the oven if there is an intervention.

To reset this device, remove the black cap positioned to the bottom of the back of the oven, push the reset button, and replace the black cap. This oven uses 12.5 amps.

If the thermal breaker shuts your oven off, before

turning your oven back on, be sure to check your

entire circuit to verify that the total amps being drawn by all the appliances, lights, etc. on that circuit do not exceed the amps available on that circuit.

Cut biscuits to the desired size, dip each one into melted butter and arrange on parchment paper covered shelf. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until lightly brown on the bottom.

Baked Potatoes

Tuna Noodle Casserole

2 Cups Cooked Noodles

1 Drained Can of Tuna Fish

1 Cup of Condensed Mushroom Soup

(Season soup with dry sherry or curry

powder and 1/4 cup chopped parsley)

1/2 Cup Buttered Corn Flake Crumbs

or Buttered Bread Crumbs

1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

2 Eggs

2/3 Cups Milk

1/4 Tsp Salt

1 Tablespoon Grated Onion

1/4 Tsp Paprika

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place scrubbed potatoes on shelves. Bake about 45 minutes at 375 degrees F. (Time will depend on size and quantity of potatoes.)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine first three ingredients in casserole dish. Top casserole with buttered crumbs. Bake at 325 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until top is browned.

8

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Layer cooked macaroni in a baking dish alternately with shredded cheddar cheese.

Combine next five ingredients, pour over layered macaroni. Bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

6. This model is equipped with a powerful fan to move large quantities of air, giving you optimum convection heat. When oven is in operation, you will hear the noise of the fan’s motor. This is normal.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Plug unit into a grounded, 3-prong,120 volts/60hz outlet. Be sure you have at least 12.5 amps available for this oven on your circuit.

2. When positioning oven on counter, be sure the oven has a minimum of 4” of air space on the top and 2” all sides. See Important Safeguards on Page

2 for additional guidelines.

OPERATING GUIDELINES

These convection ovens can be automatically controlled by the use of the temperature knob and the timer/on knob. (See Figure 2.)

2 position control knob l Continuous on – turn knob hard to LEFT to “On” position (the l symbol.) Unit will remain on until knob is turned back to “Off” (0).

Timer – Turn knob to select cooking times up to 120 minutes.

Timer will automatically turn oven off at completion of time.

Figure 2

Light indicates the elements are heating up.

Light goes out when set temperature is attained.

Temperature knob can be set for temperatures between 175 0 and 500 0 F.

1. ALWAYS PREHEAT OVEN FOR A MINIMUM OF 7 MINUTES.

2. Shelf positions - This model has 3 shelves. When cooking larger volume foods, it may not be appropriate to use all the shelves. Use the shelf positions that best center the food in the oven. You may use a sheet pan as a drip tray on the bottom of the oven.

3. Warming - Set temperatures around 175 0 F.

2. Reheating - If food is frozen, cook longer at lower temperatures. This will ensure that food is heated evenly and prevent food fillings from being served too hot. For proper food safety, be sure that internal temperature of reheated food reaches at least 165 0 F.

3. For even cooking - Always space food evenly on your cooking pans, space pans evenly in the oven, and leave space between shelves for proper air circulation. This oven can handle up to three standard 1/4 size commercial sheet pans at once. They also handle up to two 1/2 size, 2-1/2” deep commercial steam table pans.

4. When preparing meat - Always put a sheet pan on the bottom of the oven cavity to catch any drips.

5. DO NOT cover any part of the oven or a sheet pan used as a drip tray with aluminum foil, which may cause oven to overheat, or may get caught in fan.

CONVECTION OVEN RECIPE CONVERSION GUIDELINES

Cooking is not an exact science, due to many variables such as size and quantity of food, temperature of food when first put in the oven, etc. Here are general guidelines for converting conventional recipes for use in a convection oven.

Option one: Bake at the same temperature that the conventional recipe recommends, but for less time.

Option two: Bake for the amount of time that the conventional recipe calls for, but reduce the temperature of the oven by about 25 degrees F. This is the best option for batter -type items such as muffins and cakes,

Option three: (Best) Bake for a little less time than the conventional recipe calls for, and also reduce the temperature of the oven.

CONVECTION COOKING TIPS

1. If your original conventional recipe baking time is less than 15 minutes, keep the original baking time but reduce the temperature by 25-30 degrees F.

2. As with any recipe, check the food about 5-10 minutes before the expected finish time, due to variables such as the temperature of the food when first placed in the oven, quantity of food in the oven, your preferred level of

“doneness”, etc.

3. The more food in the oven at one time, the longer the cooking time.

4. Some folks recommend preheating any oven at 50 degrees F above the desired temperature, then turning the temperature control down to the desired temperature once you put the food in and close the door. This is because an oven can lose one degree per second that the door is open. The average loss is about 50 seconds.

5. For best results, leave about an inch around the perimeter of the oven interior for air to circulate.

6. The choice of when to use a convection oven and when to use a conventional oven with radiant heat usually depends on the cooking container rather than the food. The whole point of convection cooking is to have the heat circulating around the food. Casserole lids and high-sided cooking pans block the heat from circulating around the food and prevent the oven from cooking efficiently.

A few rules of thumb for best results: l l l l

Cookie sheets – use convection oven

Shallow pans (inch sides or so) – use convection oven

Anything covered (including roasting bags) – use conventional oven

Deep roasting pans – use conventional oven (Exception : In a convection

oven, you can roast meats like turkey, beef or lamb in roasting pans

that have inch-and-a-half-high sides if you elevate the meat on a rack,

which you should probably do anyway. )

7. If items such as cakes with runny batter, muffins, or cookies are baking unevenly, it is generally because the baking temperature is too high or the oven was not preheated long enough before baking.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

1. ALWAYS UNPLUG UNIT AND ALLOW TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING.

2. The interior and exterior of the oven are stainless steel and can be cleaned easily with any cleaner recommended for stainless steel. DO NOT USE ANY

ABRASIVE PRODUCTS.

3. The door can be removed for cleaning. (Page 3 has disassembly instructions.)

4. The shelves and sheet pan may be washed in hot sudsy water or in your dishwasher.
