Function Control  
Before Your First Use  
Select desired cooking function (Defrost,  
Slow Cook, Bake, Roast/Pizza, Rotisserie, Broil).  
Read all instructions in this manual carefully. The information included in  
this book will help you to use your Bistro Convection Oven with  
Rotisserie to its fullest.  
Figure 2 - incorrect rack  
position  
Oven Rack  
Used in one of three positions for defrosting,  
slow cooking, baking and proofing.  
Place your oven on a level surface such as a countertop or table. Be sure  
the sides, back and top of the oven are at least four inches away from  
any walls, cabinets or objects on the counter or table.  
Facing Up  
Facing Down  
Remove Oven Rack, Drip/Baking Pan, Broiling/Roasting Rack, Rotisserie  
Spit and Forks. Wash them in hot, sudsy water or in the dishwasher and  
dry thoroughly before placing in the oven.  
Note: never use rack facing down or drip pan  
in bottom rails except when using rotisserie  
function. (see figures 2 and 3)  
Figure 3 - correct rack  
position  
When you are ready to use the oven, be sure that the Temperature and  
Time Controls are in the “Off” position. Plug the cord into a 120-volt AC  
outlet.  
Broil Rack  
Place broil rack into drip/baking pan and slide  
into top rack position as referenced in figure 1.  
We recommend a “trial run” at a high temperature to familiarize yourself  
with your oven and to eliminate any protective substance or oil that may  
have been used for packing and shipping. Set the Temperature Control  
to “Max”, the Function Control to “Broil”, and the Time Control to “20”  
minutes. After the first 10 minutes, switch the Function Control to “Bake”  
to activate the lower heating elements. A small amount of smoke and  
odor may be detected. This is normal.  
Drip/Baking Pan  
When used in combination with the rotisserie  
function, slide into the bottom rail of the oven.  
When used as a baking pan, always increase  
temperature by 50 degrees F and only use in  
the middle or top rack position.  
Crumb Tray  
Slides underneath the bottom heating element  
to catch crumbs. (see figure 1)  
Figure 4  
To avoid scratching, marring, discoloration or fire hazard, do not store  
anything on top of the oven, especially during operation.  
This appliance requires 1,700 watts and should be the only appliance  
operating on the circuit.

Operation  
Convection Baking  
Caution: Appliance surfaces are hot during and after use! Do not place  
anything on top of this appliance.  
In baking mode the bottom heating elements operate at full power  
and the top heating elements operate at 50% power. The heating  
elements will cycle on and off to maintain the selected temperature.  
The Convection fan will operate during the Bake cycle.  
The convection fan is programmed to operate on Bake, Defrost,  
and Slow Cook. To bake without convection, select the Roast/Pizza  
function.  
The fan circulates the hot air around the food making baked goods rise  
quickly. In many convection ovens, it is necessary to lower the baking  
temperature to achieve acceptable results. Your Bistro Convection Oven  
has been designed for easy use. Lowering the baking temperature is not  
necessary. Follow package or recipe directions remembering not to  
preheat the oven and check after the shortest baking time. Always  
rotate food half-way through the cooking cycle.  
Be sure that the Temperature Control is set to “0” and the Time  
Control is set to “Off” before plugging the cord into the outlet for use  
and when unplugging the oven after use.  
Set the Temperature Control and the Function Control before setting  
the Time Control.  
The oven will only operate if the Time Control is turned to a time  
setting or if it is in the “Stay On” position.  
When using the baking racks, you should use the lowest rack position.  
If using the baking rack in the lowest rack position, make sure that it is  
facing up. See figure 3. The drip/roasting/baking pan included with your  
oven can also be used for baking. It is enamel coated making it easy to  
clean. When not in use, the drip/roasting/baking pan should always be  
removed from the oven when baking as it will interfere with the flow of  
hot air from the bottom elements. When it is being used as the baking  
pan, the pan should be placed in the middle or upper racks, and the  
temperature must be increased by 50 degrees F. If you need to accom-  
modate a larger cut of meat or poultry on the drip pan, place the pan on  
top of the bottom rails, not in them .  
For even cooking, always place foods in the oven with at least one  
inch of space on all sides to allow proper air circulation.  
Cooking Containers  
The drip/baking pan included with the oven is suitable for cookies,  
rolls, biscuits, nachos, pork chops, etc. It may be easier to use a non-  
stick spray when using the drip/baking pan for baking or broiling.  
When using as a baking pan, only place the pan in the middle or top  
rack and increase the recommended temperature by 50 degrees F.  
1
Place the oven rack or baking pan in the desired rack position. If  
using the lowest position the rack should be facing up.  
Any oven-safe baking pans or casserole dishes are suitable for the  
convection oven.

4
Set the Temperature Control to the recommended temperature.  
Set the Function Control to “Bake”.  
Choose bakeware made of metal, oven-proof glass or ceramic.  
Set the Time Control to the shortest baking time in the recipe and  
check for desired doneness.  
Many convenience foods are packaged in nonmetallic containers  
suitable for use in microwave ovens as well as regular ovens. Check  
package directions carefully to determine if the container is suitable  
for use in a regular oven.  
A Note on Baking Times:  
Convection air is superheated and it circulates around the food, so it  
cooks food faster. When baking your favorite recipes or packaged goods,  
follow recipe instructions remembering not to preheat. Check baked  
goods a few minutes before shortest recommended baking time.

Convection Baking Tips  
Defrosting  
1
Your Wolfgang Puck Convection Oven can bake up to 25% percent  
The heating elements do not operate for this function. For defrosting,  
the convection fan circulates air to thaw food in a shorter period of time  
than conventional methods of defrosting.  
faster than standard ovens using radiant heat. The fan in the back of  
the oven circulates the heated air and removes colder air from  
around your food, allowing the heat to penetrate faster.  
Important: Defrosted foods should be cooked as soon as possible after  
thawing and should never be left at room temperature when completely  
thawed as harmful bacteria will begin to grow. DO NOT defrost large  
amounts of food at one time.  
2
Expect food to be done in less time (as much as 25% less) than it  
would be in a conventional oven. Don’t be concerned if you don’t  
notice this faster baking time in items that do not require a greater  
cooking time. For instance, recipes that cook for hours such as large  
roasts and poultry will give you a greater time savings than baking  
cakes or cookies which only take up to 12 - 20 minutes  
1
Place the drip/baking pan in the bottom rails of the oven.  
Place the oven rack in middle position facing up.  
Place the food to be defrosted on the center of the oven rack.  
Set the Temperature Control to “0”.  
2
3
4
5
6
3
When baking, select pans with shallow sides which will allow greater  
air circulation to reach your food.  
4
Despite much marketing hype regarding even browning in  
convection ovens it is recommended that you rotate your food  
halfway through the cooking cycle for even browning. Almost all  
convection ovens, including commercial ovens require turning  
halfway through the cooking process. The main benefit of  
convection cooking is faster bake times.  
Set the Function Control to “Defrost”.  
Set the Time Control to the shortest amount of time necessary for  
defrosting.  
7
Check when the timer shuts off and the bell rings. Add more time  
if necessary.  
5
Your convection oven comes equipped with an interior light and a  
large glass door for viewing the cooking process of your food. Do  
not open the door to check on your baked goods as this will let out  
a significant amount of heat and create longer baking times. The  
only time the door should be opened is if you need to rotate your  
baked goods halfway through the cooking process. When cooking a  
roast or large poultry we suggest using an oven safe thermometer  
that you can keep in the meat to monitor the temperature while  
the food is cooking. (Do not use a thermometer while the rotisserie  
is turning to avoid damage. Simply turn the oven off to check the  
temperature and turn it back on.)  
Slow Cooking  
The bottom heating elements cycle on and off to maintain the selected  
temperature while the top heating elements remain off. The convection  
fan will run during the Slow Cook cycle.  
Slow cooking is a long cooking process at a low temperature used to  
tenderize less tender cuts of meat and blend flavors in soups and stews.  
Foods to be slow cooked are usually placed in a covered casserole with  
some liquid and cooked at 250° for 4 to 12 hours.  
6
7
Follow the temperature guidelines in this manual. Using higher than  
suggested temperatures will not cook your food any faster, instead it  
will dry out the food.  
1
Place the baking rack in the lowest rack position facing upward.  
2
Place the covered casserole with food to be slow cooked on the  
center of the baking rack.  
For better results you should always bake food that has been  
thoroughly thawed. The only exception to this is rule is when baking  
packaged frozen dinners and or pizzas. Follow the manufacturers  
instructions for required time. If the manufacturer does not  
recommend using convection bake, simply switch your function  
selector to Roast/Pizza.  
3
4
5
Set the Temperature Control to 250°.  
Set the Function Control to “Slow Cook”.  
Set the Time Control to “Stay On” and follow recipe instructions for  
time.  
8
9
Always distribute the food evenly around the inside of the oven.  
Give equal space around the pans as well as above and below.  
Note: The drip/baking pan should always be removed from oven when  
slow cooking as it will interfere with the flow of hot air from the bottom  
elements.  
Do not use aluminum foil or parchment paper to cover your food in  
the Convection Bake cycle. The foil will defeat the purpose of  
circulating the air in the oven. In addition, the foil could become  
loose and potentially get caught in the fan causing damage to  
the oven.

Roasting  
Rotisserie Roasting  
The top and bottom heating elements cycle on and off to maintain  
the selected temperature. The convection fan remains off during the  
Roast cycle.  
The top heating elements cycle on and off to maintain the maximum  
temperature in the oven while the spit continually turns. The convection  
fan will remain off during rotisserie roasting.  
1
Place the drip/roasting/baking pan on top of the bottom rails in the  
oven. Do not insert in the oven rails itself.  
Rotisserie roasting is a healthy way to cook meats because the slow-  
turning spit provides natural basting of meats while fats drip away. The  
rotisserie can be used to roast meats up to 7 pounds. It is not necessary  
to preheat the oven for rotisserie roasting.  
2
3
Place the meat fat side up in the drip/roasting/baking pan (unless  
otherwise directed).  
Preheat the oven to 375° F. (325° when not using the  
drip/roasting/baking pan.)  
Warning: Never use your Rotisserie without the drip/baking pan in the  
bottom rails of the oven.  
4
5
Set the Function Control to Roast/Pizza.  
1
Place one rotisserie fork on the end of the rotisserie spit  
opposite the point with the tines facing the center and tighten the  
screw slightly.  
Set the Time Control to the shortest time. If more than 2 hours, set  
to “Stay On” and check after the shortest time.  
2
3
4
Slide the pointed end of the rotisserie spit through the center of the  
food to be cooked.  
Use the following chart as a guide for roasting. Use a reliable meat  
thermometer for the most accurate results. Roasts should stand for  
10 to 15 minutes before carving. During this time, they will continue to  
cook increasing the meat thermometer reading by about 10 degrees.  
Place the other rotisserie fork on the other end of the rotisserie spit  
with the tines facing the roast.  
Adjust the roast so that it is centered on the rotisserie spit. Make  
sure the forks secure the roast on the spit and tighten the screws.  
When cooking poultry, it may be necessary to secure legs and wings  
to the body with string to make the roast as compact as possible for  
smooth movement of the rotisserie spit.

Rotisserie Chart  
Broiling  
Use the following chart as a guide for rotisserie roasting. Use a reliable  
meat thermometer for the most accurate results. Roasts should stand  
for 10 to 15 minutes before carving. During this time they will continue to  
cook, increasing the meat thermometer reading about 10 degrees.  
The top heating elements cycle on and off to maintain the maximum  
temperature in the oven. For best results, the oven should be preheated  
for 10 minutes before adding the food to be broiled. The fan will not run  
in the broil mode.  
Barbecue or other sweet sauces should be brushed on during the last few  
minutes of broiling. They will burn if applied too early in the cooking.

In a cup or a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the warm water  
and pour into the mixture. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until  
blended. With the motor off, sprinkle the nuts, chocolate chips and,  
last of all, the flour around the blade. On low to medium speed, mix  
just until the flour is incorporated.

When the timer goes off, remove the chicken with the rotisserie  
removal tool. Place chicken on the platter and let rest for 10 minutes  
before carving.  
Turn out of the bowl, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill until firm. With  
lightly floured hands, shape the dough into 12 equal balls, about 3  
ounces each, and arrange on the parchment-lined baking trays, 3  
inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly and bake 16 minutes or until  
golden brown. Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking tray, then  
transfer to a rack to finish cooling.

All American Chicken Pot Pie  
Chicken Pot Pie (cont'd.)  
2
PREPARE THE FILLING: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat  
and add the butter and vegetable oil. Add the chicken pieces and  
sauté until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 2 to 3  
minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the chicken to a mixing  
bowl. Leave the butter and oil in the skillet.  
6 servings  
INGREDIENTS  
Crust  
2 cups all-purpose flour  
2 tablespoons chives, snipped  
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces  
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded  
2 egg yolks  
3
In the same skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the carrots, celery,  
and mushrooms, stirring frequently, until they begin to color, about 5  
minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove them to a separate bowl. Stir  
the thawed pearl onions and peas into the other vegetables.  
5-6 tablespoons heavy cream  
4
PREPARE THE SAUCE: In the same pan, melt the butter over  
medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until the mixture is smooth  
and bubbling, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and  
gradually whisk in the stock, cream, and thyme. Return the skillet to  
the heat and, stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a simmer.  
Cook, stirring continuously, until the sauce has thickened and is  
smooth, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir  
in the reserved chicken and vegetables. Set the pan aside and let the  
mixture cool for about 20 minutes.  
Filling  
2 tablespoons unsalted butter  
1 tablespoon vegetable oil  
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1” thick pieces  
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/2” slices  
1 stalk celery, cut into 1/2” slices  
1/2 pound mushrooms, cut into 1/2” slices  
10 ounces frozen pearl onions (package), thawed  
3/4 cup frozen petite peas, thawed  
5
Meanwhile, preheat convection oven on Bake and set temperature to  
400 degrees. Spoon the cooled filling into a 10-inch deep-dish pie  
plate. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into an even  
circle 11 inches in diameter. Loosely roll up the dough around the  
rolling pin, then transfer it to the pie plate and unroll it on top. With  
a small, sharp knife, trim the uneven edge of the dough slightly,  
reserving the trimmings; then, fold the overhang underneath and  
press it gently all around the rim of the baking dish to make a  
decorative rim. If you like, gather up the trimmings into a ball, roll  
them out again, and cut them into decorative designs to apply to  
the top of the pie. Brush pastry with the beaten egg wash. Using the  
tip of the knife, cut three slits in the center of the pie dough.  
Sauce  
6 tablespoons unsalted butter  
1/4 cup all-purpose flour  
1 1/2 cups chicken stock  
1/2 cup heavy cream  
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme  
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water  
salt to taste  
fresh ground black pepper  
METHOD  
1
PREPARE THE PASTRY: Put the flour and chives in a bowl. Using  
your fingertips, work in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse  
crumbs. Add the cheese and toss it together with the flour mixture  
until evenly mixed. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and  
5 tablespoons of the cream. While stirring the flour-butter-cheese  
mixture continuously with a fork, sprinkle in the yolk-cream mixture  
a little at a time. If the mixture still seems a little too dry to hold  
together, add the remaining tablespoon of cream. with your hands,  
knead the dough lightly until it is just smooth. Press the dough into a  
thick, flat disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until needed.  
6
Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling beneath  
is bubbling hot, 25 to 30 minutes. Present the pie at the table on a  
trivet and use a pie server and a serving spoon to cut and scoop the  
crust and filling onto each heated plate.

toppings of your choice over the inner circle.  
INGREDIENTS  
12 Using a lightly floured baker’s peel or a rimless flat baking tray, slide  
the pizza onto the baking stone and bake until the pizza crust is  
nicely browned, 10 to 12 minute. Remember that the oven is very hot  
and be careful as you move the pizza into and out of the oven.  
1 package active dry yeast  
1 tablespoon honey  
1 cup warm water  
3 cups all - purpose flour  
1 teaspoon kosher salt  
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil  
13 Transfer the pizza to a firm surface and cut into slices with a pizza  
cutter or a very sharp knife. Serve immediately.  
METHOD  
Recipe courtesy Wolfgang Puck, Live, Love, Eat! (Random House, 2002)  
1
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1/4 cup of  
warm water.  
2
3
In a mixer fitted with dough hook, combine the flour and the salt.  
Add the oil, yeast mixture, and the remaining 3/4 cup of water and  
mix on low speed until the dough comes cleanly away from the sides  
of the bowl and clusters around the dough hook, about 5 minutes.  
This could also could be prepared in a food processor.  
4
5
Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead by hand  
2 or 3 minutes longer. The dough should feel smooth and firm.  
Cover the dough with a clean, damp towel and let it rise in a warm spot  
for about 30 minutes. When ready the dough should stretch easily as  
it is lightly pulled.  
6
7
8
Place a pizza stone on the top rack of the oven. Turn oven to  
Roast/Pizza cycle and turn temperature to 425°; let it preheat for  
15 minutes.  
Divide the dough into 4 balls, about 6 ounces each. Work each ball  
by pulling down the sides and tucking them under the bottom of the  
ball. Repeat four or five times to form a smooth, even, firm ball.  
Then, on a smooth, un-floured surface, roll the ball under the palm of  
your hand until the top of the dough is smooth and firm, about 1  
minute. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 15 to  
20 minutes. At this point, the balls can be wrapped in plastic and  
refrigerated for up to 2 days.  
9
To prepare a pizza, dip the ball of dough into flour, shake off the  
excess flour, place the dough on a clean, lightly floured surface, and  
start to stretch the dough.  
10 Press down on the center, spreading the dough into an 8-inch circle,  
with its outer rim a little thicker than the inner circle. If you find this  
difficult to do, use a small rolling pin to roll out the dough.
