General Oven Tips - Thermador SCD302 Care And Use Manual

S Oven Care and Use Manual
Preheating the Oven
For best results, preheat the oven when using the
BAKE, CONVECTION or CONVECTION ROAST
modes.
• Place racks in the oven before preheating.
• The oven is preheated when the oven chimes and
the selected temperature is displayed.
• Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven
as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat.
For Best Results
• Use Baking, Roasting and Broiling Charts found
on Pages 14 to 16, 18 to 19, and 22 for suggested
rack position and cooking time.
• Minimize opening the door.
• Use TIMER 1 or TIMER 2.
• Use the interior oven light to view the food.
• Store the broiler pan or other utensils outside
the oven. An extra pan, without food, affects the
browning and cooking.
• Use pans that give you the desired browning:
- For tender, golden brown crusts, use light
nonstick/anodized or shiny metal utensils.
- For brown, crisp crusts, use dark nonstick/
anodized or dark, dull metal utensils or glass
bakeware.
CAUTION:
Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven
racks or to line the oven. It can damage the oven
if it touches the heating element or damage the
oven liner if heat is trapped under it.

General Oven Tips

High Altitude Baking
When baking at high altitude, in either BAKE, CON-
VECTION or CONVECTION ROAST mode, reci-
pes and baking times vary. For information to adjust
recipes, write the Extension Service, Colorado State
University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. There
may be a cost for the bulletins. Specify the type of
information you want (example: cakes, cookies,
breads, etc.).
Condensation
It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to
evaporate from the food during any cooking process.
The amount depends on the moisture content of the
food. The moisture may condense on any surface
cooler than the inside of the oven.
Electronic Temperature Sensor
Your new Thermador
perature sensor which accurately maintains the tem-
perature selected. Your previous oven may have had
a mechanical thermostat that drifted to a higher
temperature with age. You may experience an
adjustment period when cooking your favorite reci-
pes with your new Thermador
