INTRODUCTION The Waring Pro Convection Oven takes countertop ™ cooking to a whole new level. Convection baking uses a hot air fan to circulate heated air, maintaining the select- ed temperature throughout the oven cavity. This constant flow of air eliminates the hot and cold spots often found in conventional ovens.

6. Wire Racks The wire racks are made of chrome-plated steel. The racks support food during broiling, roasting and bak- ing. 7. Handgrip To be used for removing rotisserie items from rotisserie sockets. 8. Rotisserie Spit Food item for rotisserie should be skewered onto rotisserie spit.
15. Tempered-Glass Door Be sure the safety door is closed tightly while preheat- ing, baking or roasting.To avoid getting burned, don’t touch the door when the oven is in use. Wait until the oven cools before cleaning the door with a damp cloth.
FUNCTION GUIDELINES Bake Your convection oven is equipped with two wire racks and has four rack positions (see diagram, page 17). The racks can be easily removed and arranged at various levels. For best results when using the oven for conven- tional baking, do not use more than one rack at a time.
With convection baking, the key is the airflow. Avoid using baking dishes with high sides. For example, even when baking cookies, try to use a cookie sheet with no sides. For roasting meats use shallow baking trays as opposed to large, high-sided roasting pans. For the same reason you'll want to avoid cooking anything with a lid when you use the convection feature as the lid blocks the airflow.
to catch any drips. When using the rotisserie function, always begin with a cold oven. Tying meats ensures even cooking. It is important to use butcher’s twine to tie items that are to be prepared for the rotisserie function before securing them to rotisserie spit.

Position 4 Position 3 Position 2 Position 1 TIPS AND HINTS • It is important to rotate any item you are baking in the oven to ensure even cooking. • It is recommended to bake one rack at a time. If you do bake with more than one rack, be sure to rotate both the baking tray and the rack positions halfway through bake time.
• When baking pastry, browning is most successful when you use metallic bakeware as opposed to glass or ceramic. • Both the convection bake, roast and the rotisserie functions create the finest tastes in meats and poultry with minimal ingredients and simple preparation.
The rule to follow is to use a cup of table salt or 1 ⁄ cups kosher salt for every gallon of water. Or, for smaller cuts of meat, ⁄ cup kosher salt for every quart of water. Simply mix salt and water together. Place item to be brined in a non-reactive container or sealable plastic bag large enough to completely immerse the meat.
Beef/Lamb The USDA recommends cooking all ground beef to at least Medium (160°F) doneness, or until centers are no longer pink. Pork Always cook until the internal temperature reaches 160°F when tested with an instant-read thermometer. Poultry Poultry should be cooked to an internal temperature of 170°F for white meat and 180˚F for dark meat.
