Convection Cooking; Warming Drawer (On Some Models) - Maytag MGR8800FZ Control Manual

Broiling
When broiling, preheat the oven for 5 minutes before putting food
in, unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on
grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven
rack.
IMPORTANT: Close the door to ensure proper broiling
temperature.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish,
and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 6 or
7 for broiling. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware"
section for more information.
� For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. See the Quick Start Guide for contact information.
NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven
is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.

Convection Cooking

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
IMPORTANT: With convection cooking, most foods can be
cooked at a lower temperature or at a shorter time. This range
automatically reduces the set oven temperature by 25°F (15°C)
for convection cooking.
During convection cooking, the bake and broil burners and
convection element cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the
oven temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air.
NOTE: The convection fan will turn on approximately 5 minutes
into any convection cycle.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan will
turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven door is
closed.
NOTE: The oven door must be closed for convection broiling.

Warming Drawer (on some models)

The Warming Drawer is ideal for keeping hot cooked foods at
serving temperature. It may also be used for warming breads and
pastries.
Different types of food may be placed in the warming drawer at the
same time. For best results, do not hold foods longer than 1 hour.
For smaller quantities, pizza, or heat-sensitive foods, such as
eggs, do not hold longer than 30 minutes.
Food must be at serving temperature before being placed in the
warming drawer. Breads, pastries, and fruit pies may be heated
from room temperature.
Remove food from plastic bags and place in oven-safe container.
Cover foods with a lid or aluminum foil.
Do not cover with plastic wrap.
Empty serving dishes and ovenproof dishes can be heated while
the warming drawer is preheating. Check the dish manufacturer's
recommendations before warming the cookware.
Before using the warming drawer, wash the bottom of the drawer
with soap and water. See "General Cleaning" section in your
Owner's Manual.
To Use:
1. Press WARMING DRAWER.
2. Press START.
3. Allow the warming drawer to preheat for 15 minutes.
4. Place cooked food(s) in warming drawer.
5. Press WARMING DRAWER when finished.
The Warming Drawer operates at a temperature of approximately
160ºF (71ºC).
