COOK TIMES AND TEMPERAT URES
Preheating the oven
Always preheat t he oven before baking or roast-
ing. We recommend preheating 50_F(10_C)
abovethecooktemperaturetooffsetthedropin
temperature when the doors areopened and cold
productisloadedintotheoven.Setthethermostat
to the cook temperature after the product is
loaded.
NOTE: For frozen product, preheat the oven 100_F
(38_C) above the cook temperature.
Cook Temperatures
Generally, cook temperatures should be 50_F
(10_C)lowerthandeckorrangeovenrecipes.
Use thisas a starting pointand adjust the temper-
atureas necessary.If theedges ofthe productare
donebut the center israw, orifthereis colorvaria-
tion, reduce the thermostat setting another
15---25_F (10---15_C). Continue to reduce the
cook temperature on successive loads until the
desired results are achieved.
NOTE: Cooking at excessive temperatures will
not reduce cook time, it will produce un-
satisfactory baking and roasting results.
Cook Time
Check the product in about half the time recom-
mended for deck or range oven recipes. Record
times and temperatures which provide best re-
sults for future reference.
NOTE: Cook time will vary with the amount of
product loaded, the type of pan and the
temperature.
OPERATING TIPS
Pans and Racks
Product or pan height determines how many
racks are used. The ovenholds up to 10 18” x 26”
(45.7 x 66.0 cm) bun pans.
Loadtheovenfromthebottom,centeringthepans
ontherack. Neverplace apan oraluminumfoilon
the bottom of the oven. This obstructs the flow of
air and results in uneven baking and roasting.
Roasting
To reduce shrinkage when roasting, place meat
directly on the racks. Place a sheet pan one-half
fullof water in the bottom rack position. The water
evaporates, increasing humidity in the oven
chamber. The pan catches grease from the meat,
making oven cleaning easier.
Baking
Weigh the product to ensure equal distribution in
each pan. Varying amounts of product will cause
uneven baking results.
Fans
The fan must be operating for the oven to heat.
Use the Pulse Plus feature to allow light or liquid
product to set in the pan and to avoid rippling to-
wards the fan. If your oven is not equipped with
this feature use the following procedure.
1. Preheat t he oven 25_F(15_C) above the bak-
ing temperature.
2. Loadtheovenwithproduct.Closethedoors.
3. Sett he thermostat to thebakingtemperature.
4. Turn the oven off.
5. Allow t he product t o set for 5---7 minutes w ith
the fan off. The residual heat in the oven sets
the product.

Lights

time shortens the bulb life considerably.
