Convect
Convection uses a fan to circulate hot air evenly over, under and around the food. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned, often in shorter times, at lower temperatures and with the flexibility of using more than one rack at a time.
Notes:
•The oven control comes from the factory set for Auto Convect Conversion. When using Convect Bake and Convect Pastry enter the conventional baking temperature. The control automatically converts the temperature to 25° less than the conventional temperature.
•When using Convect Roast the temperature will not be automatically reduced. Enter the conventional roasting temperature and time. The control then lets you know when 75% of the time has elapsed and alerts you to check the food for doneness.
•To turn Auto Convect Conversion off, see page 26.
Convect Options
Cook & Hold and Delay options are available when convect cooking. See page 21 for information on how to program a Cook & Hold or Delay option.
