Convection Features

Benefits of the convection features

—Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and energy.

—Multiple rack baking.

—No special pans or bakeware needed.

Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven (See Fig. 1). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two oven racks at the same time.

Suggestions for convection features:

•For optimum cooking results it is recommended to preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.

•Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.

•When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in positions 2 and 4 for best results (See Fig. 1).

Convect Bake

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly.

Most foods baked in a standard will cook faster and more evenly with the convection feature.

Convect Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 300°F (149°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Example — To set Convect Bake with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:

1.Press Convect Bake keypad.

2.Press START.

To cancel Convect Bake at anytime press OFF.

Convect Broil

Use the convect broil feature to cook thicker cuts of meats that require direct exposure to radiant heat and the convection fan for optimum browing results.

The Convect Broil function temperature may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Be sure to carefully follow all the recommended broil pan and insert instructions and the directions for placing the oven racks as provided in the “Broil” section.

Example — To set Convect Broil with the default broil oven temperature of 550°F:

1.Press Convect Broil keypad.

2.Press START.

3.Close the oven door when using Convect Broil. To cancel Convect Broil at anytime press OFF.

Convect Roast (some models)

Meats cooked with Convect Roast function will be juicer and poultry will be crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.

Convect Roast may be set for any oven temperature between 300°F (149°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Convect Roast:

•Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using Convect Roast.

•Since Convect Roast cooks food faster, reduce the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe (check the food at this time). If necessary, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.

•Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent the meat from browning properly.

Example — To set Convect Roast with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:

1.Press Convect Roast keypad.

2.Press START.

To cancel Convect Roast at anytime press OFF.

Important notes:

•If the oven door is opened when any convection function is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.

•When using convection bake cook time reductions may vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

•Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins.
