smoke (about 15 minutes). This is normal and harmless.
It is due to burning of the protective substance applied to
the heating elements in the factory.
TOUCH HOT SURFACES
WHEN OVEN IS IN USE.
ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS.
Convection Cooking
Convection cooking combines hot air movement by means of a fan with the
regular features (broil, bake and toast). Convection cooking provides faster
cooking in many cases than regular radiant types toaster ovens. The fan gently
sends air to every area of the food, quickly browning, crisping and sealing in
moisture and flavor. It produces more even temperature all around the food by
air movement, so that food cooks/bakes/broils evenly versus the normal ovens
hot and cold spots. The convection feature allows cooking/baking at lower
temperatures, which saves energy and helps keep the kitchen cooler.
Convection air is superheated and it circulates around the food so it cooks food
significantly faster than conventional ovens.
Caution: Always use extreme care when
removing broiler tray, bake tray
cookie sheet or any hot
container from a hot oven.
Always use the tray handle, or
an oven mitt when removing hot
items from the oven.

Broiling with Convection
Baking with Convection
The top heating elements cycle on and off to maintain maximum
temperature in the oven. For best results, the oven should be
preheated for 20 minutes at 450°F before adding the food to be broiled.
In the convection oven, it is not necessary to turn the food because the
fan circulates the hot air around the food. The food must be placed on
the broiling rack fitted into the drip pan to allow the circulation of air.
Convection baking is very consistent and even. The oven heats quickly, so
preheating is not necessary or desirable. The fan circulates the hot air around
the food making baked goods rise quickly and evenly.
Bake your favorite cookies, cakes, pies, brownies, etc. The bakeware that will
fit in your oven are up to 9 inches in length. We do not recommend the use of
oven roasting bags or glass containers in the oven. Never use plastic,
cardboard, paper or anything similar in the oven.

1. Use parchment paper on cookie sheets so cookies will not stick.
2. Cookie sheets, baking times and temperatures may differ from
those necessary when using other baking materials.
Note: Convection air is superheated and it circulates around the food, so it cooks food
faster. When baking your favorite recipes or packaged goods, follow recipe
instructions. Check the baked goods a few minutes before the shortest recommended
baking time.
SALMON STEAKS
Note: All broiling times are based on meats at refrigerator
temperature. Frozen meats may take considerably longer.
Therefore, use of a meat thermometer is highly
recommended.
