GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CONVECTION OVEN-BROILER A convection oven circulates heated air continuously throughout the oven cavity to maintain uniform temperature around the food.This constant, gentle air flow is what seals in juices, promotes browning and shortens cooking time without turning and basting. Your Toastmaster® convection oven can bake, roast, broil, and dehydrate. Your oven also allows you the flexibility of a regular bake mode so you can prepare recipes with leavening agent such as yeast, baking powder, baking soda, or eggs in the traditional manner. The slow cook cycle cooks similar to a crock pot. OVEN RACK AND PAN POSITIONS 3 2 1 BAKE/BROIL PAN ASSEMBLY Figure 1 2 BAKE RACK CONTROL BAKE PANEL NOTE: Temperatures on temperature control dial are in Fahrenheit, not Celsius. SELECTOR DIAL The oven has four different settings: Convection (Bake/Roast), Slow Cook, Bake, and Broil. Turn dial to indicator line above dial to select setting.The fan will be on during Convection (Bake/Roast), and Broil. TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL Your oven has an adjustable temperature control dial with temperatures 200°-450° Fahrenheit.This allows you to prepare recipes according to package or recipe directions. TIMER WITH MANUAL ON The timer control dial also acts as the oven's on and off dial. Turn the timer clockwise to select appropriate cooking time. The dial is marked with 1, 2 or 3 Hrs (hours) in 15 minute segments. If cooking less than 1 hour, turn the timer past 1 hour, then back to desired cooking time. When cooking time is complete, a signal will sound and the unit will turn off automatically. 3 If you are cooking for less than 15 minutes or do not wish to use the timer feature, push in and turn the dial counter-clockwise to Manual On to turn oven on. Return to Off position when cooking is complete. The indicator light will go off. INDICATOR LIGHT Once the oven is preheated (10 minutes), the light will continue to turn on and off as the elements cycle indicating the oven is maintaining your pre-selected temperature. NOTE: During Slow Cook, the indicator light will remain on. HEATING ELEMENTS On the Slow Cook setting, constant low wattage heat is provided by the top and bottom elements. On the Convection (Bake/Roast), and Bake settings the top and bottom elements will turn off and on as the thermostat cycles to control the cooking temperature. On the Broil setting only the upper elements cycle on and off. The indicator light will cycle on and off with the thermostat. NOTE: Some elements will appear black during certain heating functions. This is normal. INTERIOR OVEN LIGHT The light will be on anytime the unit is in operation. To replace oven light see page 10. RACK POSITIONS The bake rack can be inserted into position 1, 2, or 3 as shown in figure 1 or inverted. Baking on both the rack and bake/broil bake pan assembly at the same time is not recommended except when using the Slow Cook setting. CONVECTION BAKE 1. Remove bake pan and place bake rack in correct position. 2. Plug into 120 V ~ 60 Hz outlet. 3. Position selector dial to Convection (Bake/Roast). Turn temperature control dial to temperature setting. Set timer to Manual On by turning counterclockwise or desired baking time by turning clockwise. Oven will shut off automatically if timer is set. Preheat if necessary. The indicator light will cycle off when the oven is preheated and continues to cycle during the baking cycle to maintain the selected temperature. 4. Carefully center baking dish or pan directly on bake rack and close door. 5. Convection baking will cook some foods faster; check 5-10 minutes before the end of the suggested bake time. Continue baking if necessary. 6. When finished, turn temperature control dial to Deh. Make sure the timer is in the Off position.The indicator light will go off. 7. Unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning. 4 HINTS FOR CONVECTION BAKE · For best results, place bake rack in position 2 and leave at least 1/2 inch space on all sides of bake pan for air circulation. · Dark or dull pans absorb heat faster; foods will bake more rapidly and crusts will brown more easily than in shiny bake pans. Use of glass baking containers may add to the total cooking time required. Shallow baking containers are best because they allow maximum air flow. CONVECTION ROAST 1. Remove bake pan and bake rack. 2. Place bake pan in position 1.The bake pan must be placed below the food to prevent grease from coming in contact with heating elements and to reduce clean-up. 3. Put seasoned meat, fat side up, in center of bake rack. Insert bake rack in position 2. Do not cover. 4. Plug into 120 V ~ 60 Hz outlet. 5. Position selector dial to Convection (Bake/Roast). Turn temperature control dial to 325°F (standard roasting temperature). It is not necessary to preheat your oven. Since meats and poultry roast up to 25% faster in a convection oven, a meat thermometer should always be used to gauge internal temperature. The thermometer should always be inserted into thickest portion of roast away from bones or fatty areas. Check progress two-thirds into the cooking process to ensure meat does not overcook. 6. Set timer to Manual On by turning counter-clockwise or desired roasting time by turning clockwise. Oven will shut off automatically if timer is set. 7. When finished, position temperature control dial to Deh. Make sure the timer is in the Off position.The indicator light will go off. 8. Unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning. HINTS FOR CONVECTION ROAST · Roasting is recommended for large, tender cuts of meat and poultry. Seasoning prior to cooking adds to the flavor and the aroma during cooking. · A layer of fat on the top of the roast promotes better browning and provides natural basting. · A meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meat should always be used to ensure desired doneness. · When roasting meats with a high fat content, the broil bake pan may fill with grease before cooking is completed. Carefully remove the bake pan using oven mitts and empty. Replace for continued roasting. REGULAR BAKE 1. Remove bake pan and place bake rack into position. 2. Plug into 120 V ~ 60 Hz outlet. 3. Position selector dial to Bake. Turn temperature control dial to temperature setting. Set timer to Manual On by turning counter-clockwise or to desired baking time by turning clockwise. Oven will shut off automatically if timer is 5 4. 5. 6. 7. set. Preheat if necessary. The indicator light will cycle off when the oven is preheated and continues to cycle to maintain the selected temperature. Carefully center baking dish or pan directly on rack and close door. Bake according to package or recipe directions. When finished, turn temperature control dial to Deh. Make sure the timer is in the Off position.The indicator light will go off. Unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning. HINTS FOR REGULAR BAKE · Bake according to recipe or package directions. · To prevent heat loss, avoid opening door excessively. · Foil may be used to cover casserole dish if ends are tucked closely against edge of bake pan. CONVECTION BROIL 1. Remove bake pan and bake rack. 2. Place the broil insert in the bake pan. Always use the insert and bake pan when broiling. Place food on insert and position the broil pan assembly in the oven. Juices and fat will drip into the pan and decrease spattering while broiling. Close the door. 3. Plug into 120 V ~ 60 Hz outlet. 4. Position selector dial to Broil. Turn temperature control dial to Broil. 5. Since broiling time is usually brief, the use of a timer is not recommended. Set timer to Manual On by turning counter-clockwise. 6. Broil food until done, turning halfway through cooking time. Carefully remove broil pan assembly from oven using oven mitts. 7. When finished, turn temperature control dial to Deh. Make sure the timer is in the Off position.The indicator light will go off. 8. Unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning. HINTS FOR CONVECTION BROIL · Do not place aluminum foil on top of broil insert.This traps grease and can cause a fire. · Trim excess fat from meat and score edges to prevent curling and thaw frozen meats before broiling.This will reduce smoke during broiling. SLOW COOK 1. Remove bake pan from oven. Place bake rack in position 1. No preheat is necessary. 2. Cover baking container and place on bake rack in center of the oven. 3. Plug into 120 V ~ 60 Hz outlet. 4. Position selector dial to Slow Cook. Turn temperature control dial to 250°F . The indicator light will remain on. Because of the low wattage being used, the heating elements will remain dark while maintaining the proper t e m p e ra t u r e. 5. Set timer to Manual On by turning counter-clockwise. 6 6. Do not open the door during the first two hours of the slow cook period. 7. When finished, make sure the timer is in the Off position.The indicator light will go off. 8. Unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning. HINTS FOR SLOW COOK · Most crock pot recipes may be used in slow cook by using the following guidelines. · All baking dishes should be covered. Aluminum foil may be used if ends are tucked against edge of pan. · Oven-proof glass and ceramic dishes are recommended. Aluminum foil pans and pans that will rust such as cast iron or tin should not be used. · Separate dishes can cook simultaneously, yet food retains its own flavor. Select foods that will take the same amount of time to cook. · Milk, cream and sour cream may curdle. It is best to add them in the last hour of cooking.
