Keep Warm
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
IMPORTANT: The Keep Warm function allows hot cooked foods to stay warm before serving.
On double oven models only, be sure to set the correct controls for the oven (upper or lower) you want to use.

1.Turn the SELECTOR knob to KEEP WARM.
2.The display will show 170°F (77°C).
3.Press ENTER button to start, or after 10 seconds, the function will start automatically.
4.Turn the SELECTOR knob to the OFF position when finished.
Convection Cooking
(on some models)
In a convection oven, the
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 with an alternative method such as using a toothpick.
■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 Baking and Roasting

C.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 bake and broil elements and fan will turn off immediately. They will come back on once the door is closed.
Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may need to be reduced also.
To Convection Bake or Roast:
Before convection baking or roasting, position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
When roasting with CONVECT, 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 in food, unless it is recommended in the recipe.
