Convection Cooking

(single, upper and, on some models, lower oven)

In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding crustier breads.

Most foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures 25°F to 50°F (14°C to 28°C), and cooking time can be shortened by as much as 30 percent, especially for large turkeys and roasts.

■It is important not to cover foods with lids or aluminum foil so that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.

■Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only when necessary.

■Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.

■Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the minimum cooking time using a method such as a toothpick.

WARNING

Burn Hazard

Use an oven mitt to remove temperature probe. Do not touch broil element.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

■Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 places.

Convection Bake

A

A. T.H.E.™ Convection element (hidden) and fan

The T.H.E.™ (Third Hidden Element) convection element is hidden in the rear panel of the oven cavity, and assisted by the convection fan, provides balanced, efficient heating.

Convection baking can be used for baking delicate cakes and pastries, as well as foods on multiple racks. It is helpful to stagger items on the racks to allow a more even flow of heat. If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.

When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods, be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures. Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space between the cookware and the sides of the oven.

During convection baking preheat, the T.H.E.™ convection element and broil element and the CleanBake™ element all heat the oven cavity. After preheat, the T.H.E.™ convection element and the CleanBake™ element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.

If the oven door is opened during convection baking, the fan turns off immediately when the door is opened and turns on immediately when the door is closed. Convection, Bake and Broil (only during preheating) elements will turn off approximately

30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

■Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may need to be reduced also.

To Convection Bake:

Before convection baking, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When using 2 racks, place on guides 2 and 4. When using 3 racks, place on guides 1, 3 and 5.

1.On double ovens only, touch UPPER OVEN or LOWER OVEN. The cavity symbol indicates which oven was chosen.

2.Touch CONVECTION BAKE.

Touch the number keys to enter a temperature other than 325°F (163°C). The convection bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).

3.Touch START.

“Lo°” will appear on the oven display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C).

When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the oven display will show the oven temperature increasing.

When the set temperature is reached, if on, 1 tone will sound.

4.Touch OFF, UPPER OVEN OFF or, on some models, LOWER OVEN OFF when finished cooking.

Convection Roast

C. Bake heat

Convection roasting can be used for roasting meats and poultry, or for baking yeast breads and loaf cakes using a single rack. During convection roasting, the broil, convect, and CleanBake™ elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.

If the oven door is opened during convection roasting, the fan turns off immediately when the door is opened and turns on immediately when the door is closed. Bake, broil, and convect elements will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.

■Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may need to be reduced also.
