■Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the minimum cooking time with a method such as using a toothpick.
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Use an oven mitt to remove temperature probe. Do not touch broil element.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
■Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe (on some models) to determine the doneness of meats and poultry.
Convect Bake (on some models)
Convect Bake can be used to bake and cook foods on single or multiple racks. It is helpful to stagger items on the racks to allow a more even flow of heat. If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.
When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods, be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures. Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space between the cookware and the sides of the oven.
Allow the range to preheat before placing food in the oven.
During convection baking preheat, the broil elements and the bake element all heat the oven cavity. After preheat, the convection element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or preheating, the convection element and fan will turn off immediately. They will come back on once the door is closed.
■If Auto Convect is off, reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may need to be reduced also.
To Convect Bake:
Before convection baking, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
1.Press CONVECT.
2.Select CNVT BAKE using the left Quickset pad.
3.Select the oven temperature using the Quickset pads.
OR
Press the number pads to enter a temperature. The temperature can be set between 195°F and 550°F (91°C and 288°C) in 5° increments when Auto Convect is on. If Auto Convect is off, temperature can be set from 170°F (77°C).
4.Press ENTER.
After 3 seconds, the oven will begin to preheat. “CNVT BAKE” and “PREHEAT” will appear in the display along with 100° or the actual oven temperature, whichever is higher.
The temperature in the display will increase in 1° increments until the oven reaches the preset temperature. Allow about 15 minutes for the oven to preheat.
When the oven is preheated, the oven will beep, “PREHEAT” will turn off and “CNVT BAKE” will be displayed. “AUTO” will be displayed if Auto Convect conversion feature is turned on.
5.Place food in the oven.
6.Press CANCEL when finished cooking.
Convect Roast (on some models)
