CONVECTION TIPS

TIPS ON USING THE CONVECTION SETTING

Because convection cooks foods faster and is hotter, you can reduce the cooking temperature by 25°, and check for doneness three quarters of the way through the cook time.
Foods that are covered benefit from the convection's even heat and will cook faster without any moisture loss.
The high temperature air circulation produces roasted foods that are golden brown on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside.
Even cooking means that you can use more than one rack and you do not have to turn foods or rotate baking trays.

Below are foods that benefit from the convection setting and when to use it:

Convection roast:
Meat, vegetables, whole fish

Convection Bake:
Pies, pastries, cookies, biscuits

Convection Broil:
Meat, fish, for melting cheese, for browning the top of casseroles

Pizza:

• Use the lower rack position and check often so the cheese does not burn.
• Start with no convection and then turn on convection for the last few minutes to brown cheese.

Not recommended for:
Custards and flans, souffles, cakes, quickbreads, breads

Additional tips:

• Make sure air can circulate around food and pans.
• Use trays, roasting pans, and baking pans with lower sides.
• Do not cover the oven shelves with foil.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed:

1. Read all instructions.
2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children younger than 8) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have supervision.
3. Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local main voltage before you connect the appliance.
4. Do not use the appliance if the plug, the main cord or the appliance itself is damaged. Always make sure that the plug is inserted properly into a wall outlet.
5. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
6. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised.
7. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
8. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid. Do not plug in the appliance or operate the control panel with wet hands.
9. Never connect this appliance to an external timer switch or separate remote-control system in order to avoid a hazardous situation. To disconnect, turn off the appliance, then remove plug from wall outlet.
10. Do not place the appliance on or near combustible materials such as a tablecloth or curtain. The accessible surfaces may become hot during use. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Do not place the appliance against a wall or against other appliances. Leave at least 4 inches of free space on the back and sides and 4 inches of free space above the appliance. Do not place anything on top of the appliance.
12. Do not use the appliance for any other purpose than described in this manual. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
13. Do not let the appliance operate unattended. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
14. Do not use outdoors.
15. Do not touch the hot surfaces; use handle. During air frying, hot steam is released through the air outlet openings. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the steam and from the air outlet openings. Also be careful of hot steam and air when you remove the pan from the appliance.
16. After using the appliance, avoid contact with the hot metal inside. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning the appliance.

18. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
19. Use extreme caution when removing tray or disposing of hot grease.
20. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
21. Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in a toaster-oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
22. A fire may occur if the toasteroven is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.

CORD SAFETY

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If an extension cord is used:
  1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance; and
  2. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

ELECTRICAL POLARIZED PLUG

This unit has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, the plug is intended to be used by inserting it into the electrical outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit securely into the outlet, reverse the plug and re-insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician for assistance. Do not modify the plug in any way.
