SAFETY FEATURES The Waring Commercial Convection Oven is equipped with the following feature to ensure safety: Thermostat Overload Protection If the unit heats up beyond the recommended temperature level, the oven will automatically turn off. To reset, unplug the unit from the wall outlet and allow it to cool down. You can now reset the oven by locating the reset button on the right side of the bottom panel (see figure). Using a toothpick or another long, thin object, push the reset button in. Plug the unit back in, turn on and continue use. If the unit still does not operate, repeat steps above or call a Waring Certified Customer Service Center for assistance. BEFORE USING YOUR FIGURE 1 OVEN Before using your oven for the first time, be sure to: • Wash wire racks and baking tray with soapy water, rinse with clear water and dry. These parts should be cleaned and thoroughly dried by hand only. • Use a damp cloth to lightly wipe the inner walls of the oven with a small amount of detergent. Do not use a spray or abrasive polishing agent. Do not touch the electric heating tubes and do not soak the inside of the oven with water. • Place the wire racks and baking tray inside the oven. • Preheat the oven. First close the oven door and then preheat the oven at the highest temperature for a minimum of 5 minutes. The oven may emit an odor. This is normal and should dissipate. NOTE: This odor is not harmful. • Turn off the oven and allow it to cool. Remove any smoke residue inside the oven with a damp cloth. • Do not block the exhaust vent. 10 FUNCTION GUIDELINES Bake Your convection oven is equipped with two wire racks and has three rack positions (see diagram, page 14). The racks can be easily removed and arranged at various levels. For best results when using the oven for conventional baking, do not use more than one rack at a time. • Set the function knob to BAKE. • Set the temperature knob as specified in the Reference Chart, pages 19-20, or according to your recipe. • Set the timer, if desired, for up to 120 minutes. If the baking time is less than 20 minutes, first turn the timer clockwise past the 20-minute mark and turn it back to the desired time. If a longer baking time is required, turn the timer directly to the desired time. • If not using the timer, set timer to OVEN ON position. • Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing hot food from the oven. Note: Layer cake mixes can be baked one layer at a time in an 8- or 9-inch round pan or all of the mix in a 3-inch deep, 9-inch round bundt or springform pan. Convection Bake The general rule for baking recipes when using a convection oven is to reduce the temperature given in the recipe by 25˚F. For roasting larger items such as meats or roasts, use the same temperature as indicated, but reduce the cooking time. In any case, always check your baked items 10 minutes before cooking time indicates. For larger roasted items such as meats, start checking 20 to 40 minutes before stated cooking time is reached. 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. • Set rack to desired position. • Set the function knob to Convection Bake. 11
