ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

Convection option

Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate air inside the oven to provide faster, more even

cooking. The Convection option

is available on most cooking modes. On Reheat and Stage 1 of Asado

Roast, Convection will default to ON automatically. Convection is NOT available on Toasting modes.

When using Convection in Cookie mode, EasyConvect™ Conversion automatically reduces oven temperature by 25°F (14°C) to prevent overcooking.

Convection Mode Tips

Thinner foods will cook faster and more efficiently in Convection Mode because their surface area is relatively small.

Food may finish cooking up to 30% faster when using Convection Mode. Check baked goods such as cakes, muffins, and pastries before the expected finish time to avoid overcooking.

Don’t cover foods with lids or aluminum foil so that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.

Use pans with lower sides to promote better airflow.
