A. Broil element
B. Convection fan
C. Convection element
D. Grilling grid or convection grid
Convection cooking uses the convection element, the broil element and the fan. Hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity by the fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly.
■The convect function may be used to cook small amounts of food on a single grid.
■Always use the grilling grid or convection grid placed on turntable.
■To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not cover turntable, grilling grid or convection grid, or baking tray with aluminum foil.
■Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap or paper products. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking. Round pizza pans are excellent for convection cooking.
■When the broil element is in use, the cooling fan turns on and stays on for up to 10 minutes after the cycle is over.
■Use convection cooking for items such as souffles, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meats and fish.
Auto Convection Conversion is a function that converts a standard thermal bake cook time and temperature into an ideal cook time and temperature for convection cooking.
Convection temperatures and times differ from those of standard cooking. The oven will automatically reduce standard recipe temperatures and times for convection cooking.
The conversion may not be exact because foods are grouped in general categories.
