3.Bake element
During convection baking or roasting , the bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or roasting, the broil element and fan will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is closed.
■For optimal cooking results, do not use aluminum foil.
■Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may need to be reduced also. See the cookbook supplied with this oven for more information.
To Convection Bake or Roast:
Before convection baking or roasting, position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When using two racks, place them on rack positions 2 and 4.
When roasting with CONVECT BAKE, use the roasting rack on top of the broiler pan and grid. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.

1.Press CONVECT (UPPER).
Close oven door. The display will show “door” and the heating elements will not heat if the door is open when baking and roasting.
Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pad to enter a temperature other than 325°F (177°C). The bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
2.Press START/ENTER.
A preheat time will count down and “PrE°” 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 timer will continue counting down. The temperature setting can be changed any time after pressing START/ENTER.
When the set temperature is reached, if enabled, one tone will sound.
3.Press UPPER OFF, LOWER OFF or OFF/CANCEL when finished cooking.
Broiling and Custom Broiling
1
1. Broil element
Broiling uses direct radiant heat from the broil element to cook food. During broiling, the broil element cycles on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element will turn off immediately and come back on once the door is closed.
■Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance. It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and smoke.
■For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier cleaning.
■Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on the edges to prevent curling.
■Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
■After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated oven, making cleaning more difficult.
To Broil:
Before broiling or custom broiling, position the rack according to the Broiling Chart.
Position food on the grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door. It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.
Close the door.
