Instructions
Using the convection oven.
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.
Operating Instructions Safety
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and
To help you understand the difference between convection bake and roast and traditional bake and roast, here are some general guidelines.
Convection Bake
■Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on multiple shelves.
■Good for large quantities of baked foods.
■Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.
Heat comes from the heating element in the rear of the oven. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes.
Convection Roast
■Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
Heat comes from the top heating element. 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 designed for broiling for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

When convection baking, the auto recipe™ conversion feature automatically reduces the set regular baking temperature by the recommended 25°F. See Using Convection Conversion in the special features section.
■Use pan size recommended.
■Some package instructions for frozen casseroles or main dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature on the package.
