Broiling with Convection
The top heating elements cycle on and off to maintain maximum temperature in the oven. For best results, the oven should be preheated for 20 minutes at 450° before adding the food to be broiled. In the convection oven, it is not necessary to turn the food because the fan circulates the hot air around the food. The food must be placed on the wire rack with the crumb tray beneath it (see illustration) to allow the circulation of air.
Operation
•Set Temperature Control to 450°.
•Turn Function Control to Broil/Convection.
•Preheat the oven.
•Place the Wire Rack on the Crumb Tray.
•Place the food on the Wire Rack and slide into the Top Rack Support Guide or Middle Rack Support Guide depending on the thickness of the food that you are cooking.
•Food should be placed as close as possible to the Top Heating Element without touching it.
•Set temperature control to the appropriate temperature.
•Brush food with sauces or oil, as desired.
•Turn Time Control to position “Stay On”.
•It is advisable to leave the door slightly ajar.
•When broiling is complete, turn the Time Control to “OFF”.
Broiling Guide
Cooking results may vary depending on thickness of food being broiled, adjust these times to your individual requirements. Also, remember to turn the meat/fish over halfway through the cooking time and to check often during broiling to avoid overcooking.
MEAT | OVEN TEMP | COOKING TIME |
RIB STEAK | 400 | |
400 | ||
HAMBURGER | 400 | |
PORK CHOPS | 400 | |
LAMB CHOPS | 400 | |
CHICKEN LEGS | 400 | |
FISH FILETS | 350 | |
SALMON STEAKS | 350 |
Note: All broiling times are based on meats at refrigerator temperature. Frozen meats may take considerably longer. Therefore, use of a meat thermometer is highly recommended.
Baking with Convection
Convection baking is very consistent and even. The oven heats quickly, so preheating is not necessary or desirable. The fan circulates the hot air around the food making baked goods rise quickly and evenly.
Bake your favorite cookies, cakes, pies, brownies, etc. The bakeware that will fit in your oven are up to 9 inches in length. We do not recommend the use of oven roasting bags or glass containers in the oven. Never use plastic, cardboard, paper or anything similar in the oven.
Note: Position the wire rack in the lowest Support Guide.
Operation
•Place the wire rack in the lowest or middle Rack Support Guide depending on the height of the pan or according to the recipe.
•Place pan with item(s) to be baked on the wire rack.
•Turn the Function Control to Bake/Convection.
•Turn the Time Control to position “Stay On”.
•When baking is complete, turn the Time Control to “OFF”.
Positioning of the Wire Rack
Cookies - Use bottom and middle Support Guides.
Layer Cakes - Use bottom Support Guide only (bake one at a time). Pies - Use bottom Support Guide.
Baking Cookies
For baking cookies, we suggest adjusting baking temperature and using a cookie sheet placed on the wire rack. Also, using parchment paper on a cookie sheet might prove helpful when baking certain types of cookies.
1.Use parchment paper on cookie sheet so cookies will not stick.
2.Cookie sheets, baking times and temperatures may differ from those necessary when using other baking materials.
Note: Convection air is superheated and it circulates around the food, so it cooks food faster. When baking your favorite recipes or packaged goods, follow recipe instructions remembering not to preheat. Check the baked goods a few minutes before the shortest recommended baking time.
Baking Guide
Follow the package or recipe instructions for baking times and temperature.
