Part # 260BGL Rev B (10/12/11)Page 81. Preheat oven thoroughly (approx. 20 minutes) before use.2. As a general rule, temperature should be reduced 25°to 50° from that used in a standard/convection oven.Cooking time may also be shorter, so we suggest closelychecking the first batch of each product prepared.3. Use the chart of suggested times and temperatures asa guide. These will vary depending upon such factorsas size of load, temperature, and mixture of product(particularly moisture) and density of product.4. Keep a record of the times, temperature, and load sizesyou establish for various products. Once you havedetermined these, they will be similar for succeedingloads.5. When practical, start cooking the lowest temperatureproduct first and gradually work up to highertemperatures.6. If you find that your previous temperature setting is morethan 10° higher than needed for succeeding loads, COOLDOWN to reach the desired temperature before setting anew cooking temperature.7. When loading oven, work as quickly as possible toprevent loss of heat.8. Oven will continue to heat even though the timer goesoff. Product should be removed from the oven as soon aspossible to avoid over cooking.9. Center pans on racks and load each shelf evenly to allowfor proper air circulation within the cavity.10. When baking, weigh or measure the product in each panto assure even cooking.11. When cooking five pans, use rack positions 1, 3, 5, 7 and9, starting from the top.12. When re-thermalizing frozen casseroles, preheat the oven100° over the suggested temperature. Return to cookingtemperature when the oven is loaded. This will helpcompensate for the introduction of a large frozen massinto the cavity.13. Never place anything directly on the bottom of the ovencavity. This obstructs the airflow and will cause unevenresults.Note: Moisture will escape around the doors when bakingproducts with heavy moisture content, such as chicken,potatoes, etc. This is normal.PERFORMANCE RECOMMENDATIONS ANDGENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
