Do not use more than one complete Warm & Hold cycle (about 1 hour, 30 minutes). The quality of some foods will suffer with extended time.

TIPS FOR CONVECTION COOKING

This section gives you cooking instructions and procedures for operating each convection function. Please read these instructions carefully. Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly, creating even browning and sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces. Your oven uses convection cooking whenever you use the Convection Button. DO NOT USE THE OVEN

WITHOUT THE TURNTABLE IN PLACE.

1.Always use the metal rack on the turntable when convection cooking.

2.Do not cover turntable or metal rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that cooks the food.

3.Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items.

Choose pans that do not have extended handles.

4.Use convection cooking for items like soufflés, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and for some meat and fish cooking.

5.Your oven comes equipped with metal tray which can be used for cooking in convection mode or combination mode.

6.You do not need to use any special techniques to adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection cooking; however, you need to lower oven temperature by 25°F from recommended temperature mentioned in package instructions when cooking packaged food in convection mode.

7.When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls,

or other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating. Preheat the empty oven just as you do a regular oven. You can start heavier dense foods such as meats, casseroles, and poultry without preheating.

8.All heat-proofcookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking.

9.As in conventional cooking, the distance of the food from the heat source affects cooking results. Refer to the charts in this Use and Care Guide.

10.Use metal utensils only for convection cooking. Never use for microwave or combination cooking since arcing and damage to the oven may occur.

11.After preheating, if you do not open the door, the oven will automatically hold at the preheated temperature for 30 minutes.

PRECAUTIONS

The oven cavity, door, turntable, roller rest, metal tray, metal rack, and cooking utensils will become very hot. USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the food, cooking utensils, metal rack, metal tray, and turntable from the oven after convection cooking.

Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic wraps, or paper products during any convection cycle.
