The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Operating Instructions

Tips

Always use the shelf when convection cooking.

Convection Cooking

During convection cooking, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 225°F to 450°F may be programmed. A fan gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich moist interiors.

Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around the food; some foods cook faster than in regular oven cooking.
