■ Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

The convection fan circulates the heated

 

 

air evenly over and around the food.

 

Meat and poultry are browned on

 

 

all sides as if they were cooked on a

 

rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices

 

quickly for a moist and tender product

 

while, at the same time, creating a rich

 

golden brown exterior.

When you are convection roasting it is important that you use a broiler pan and grid for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

How to Set the Lower Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting

Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions

Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/ 1 RACK pad and then the 2 pad for multi-rack convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on more than one rack (i.e., 2, 3 or more racks) at the same time in convection bake. See the Multi-Rack Convection Baking section for more information.

Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/ 1 RACK pad and then the 1 pad for one-rack convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on only one rack in convection bake.

Touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad for convection roasting.

Touch the number pads to set the oven temperature.

Touch the START pad.

NOTE: If the Auto Recipe™ Conversion Feature is on, it will automatically reduce the set regular baking temperature by 25°F to the appropriate

convection temperature in convection bake mode. See Auto Recipe™ Conversion in the Special Features section.

To change the oven temperature, touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/1 RACK or CONVECTION ROAST pad and then the number pads to set the new temperature.

When the oven starts to heat, the changing temperature, starting at 100°F, will be displayed. When oven reaches the temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.

Touch CLEAR/OFF pad when finished.

■You will hear a fan while cooking with convection. The fan will stop when the door is opened, but the heat will not turn off.

■You may hear the oven clicking during baking. This is normal.

■In convection bake modes, for maximum cooking evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both directions, with a pause in between.

This is normal.

Consumer Support Troubleshooting

When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular baking can also be used for convection baking, but should not be used at temperatures higher than the temperature recommended by the cookware manufacturer. Plastic cookware

that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F can also be used.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking.

■Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster than shiny pans.

■Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.
