Convection Cooking - Monogram 30" Owner's Manual

Convection Baking or Roasting
Professional Dual Fuel Range
introduction
to
con vect/on
cooking
The Monogram reverse-air convection system
consists of two dedicated heating elements
wrapped around the convection fan. After
preheating to the set temperature, all heat
in CONV BAKE mode comes from these two
dedicated elements. The convection fan
periodically pauses, then changes direction
to best distribute hot air throughout the oven.
As a result, foods are evenly cooked and
browned-often in less time with convection heat.
NOTE: The convection fan shuts off when the
oven door is opened.
Cookware
for
con vection
cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking with
several pans, leave space between them.
Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other
or the walls of the oven.
Cookware used in standard BAKE will also
work in CONV BAKE. See Baking Tips section.
It is recommended that when baking cookies, the
best results are attained with a flat cookie sheet
instead of a pan with sides. For recipes like oven-
baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot air
cannot circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.
You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oveR.
When convection baking, it may be necessary
to reduce the baking temperature by 25°F or
to adjust the cooking time. No temperature
adjustment is necessary when using CONV
ROAST.
Some package instructions for frozen casseroles
or main dishes have been developed using
commercial convection ovens. For best results
in this oven, preheat the oven and use the
temperature on the package.

tips
Use the broiler pan, grid and the roasting rack for
best results. Use of the rack will result in improved
browning on the underside of meat or poultry.
1. Place the oven rack on a low rack position (A).
2. Place the grid on the broiler pan and put the
roasting rack over them.
3.Place meat on the roasting rack.
