CONVECTION COOKING

The convection cooking will be best used for items like souffles, breads, angel food cakes, pizza, and for broiling meat and fish.

No special techniques are required to adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection cooking, although you

may need to use lower temperatures by 25 ° F--35°F than in a conventional oven.

Because the convection cooking method is identical to a conventional oven except for increased efficiency of fan-circulated hot air.

When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls or other baked foods, some recipes occassionally call for preheating. Preheat the empty oven just as you do in the conventional oven. But heavier dense foods such

as meats, casseroles, poultry can be started without preheating.

All heatproof cookware or metal utensils may be used in convection cooking.

CERAMIC TRAY

The ceramic tray should be removed from oven prior to convection cooking. This is because, both the upper and lower heaters are in operation for convection cooking and the ceramic tray prevents the efficient heating of the lower heater. Remove the ceramic tray for the best results.

METAL RACK

The metal rack has three positions; upper, lower and oven bottom. As conventional cooking, the distance of the food from heat sources (upper/lower heater) affects cooking results. Always consider the cooking method and desired results when deciding which cooking position to use.

There is no standard rule for rack position for every food type, therefore, please refer to the food charts in each chapter of your cookbook. Also, finding a similar recipe in the cookbook index and referring to the recipe's suggested position will be helpful.

BAKING PAN/METAL UTENSILS

Any Baking Pan less than 12" × 12" can be used with this oven. The Baking Pan and metal utensils, should be placed on the Metal Rack.

The Baking Pan and metal utensils should only be used for convection cooking. Never use for

microwave or micro/convec cooking since arcing may happen and damage to the oven may result.
