Safety

Convection Fan

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 browned—often in less time with convection heat.

NOTE: The convection fan may cycle on and off and change direction while cooking to best distribute hot air in the 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.

Instructions

1-Rack Convection Baking

The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food using the bake and broil elements.

When convection baking with only 1 rack, use CONV 1 RACK and for best results place the rack on shelf B or C at the center of the oven. Cook times may decrease, so food should be checked earlier than package directions to make sure that it does not overcook.

Ideal for cooking large casseroles and lasagna with good results.

Multi-Rack Convection Baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple racks.

The amount of time required for multi-rack baking may increase slightly for some foods, but overall time is saved

Multi-rack position.because two to three times as much food is cooked at once. Cookies, muffins,

biscuits and other quick breads give good results with multi-rack baking.

To cook food on more than one rack in convection bake, use CONV MULTI.

When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the first (A) position, one in the third (C) position and one in the 5th (E) position.

Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting

Auto Recipe™ Conversion

When convection baking, the Auto Recipe™ Conversion feature automatically reduces the set traditional baking temperature by the recommended 25°F. See Auto Recipe™ Conversion

in the Settings 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 traditional temperature on the package.
