Even-Heat™ TrueConvection Cooking
It is normal for the convection fan to cycle on and off during a cooking cycle.
Baked goods and casseroles can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures 25°F (14°C). It is not necessary to reduce temperature when cooking meats and poultry. Cooking times for large turkeys and other poultry may be shorter when using the convection function.
■It is important not to cover foods with lids or aluminum foil so that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.
■Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only when necessary.
■Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
■Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the minimum cooking time using a method such as 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 to determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 places.
Convection Bake
The convection element is hidden in the rear panel of the oven cavity, and assisted by the convection fan, provides balanced, efficient heating.

Convection baking can be used for baking delicate cakes and pastries, as well as foods on 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.
During convection baking preheat, the convection element and broil element and the CleanBake™ element all heat the oven cavity. After preheat, the convection element and the CleanBake™ element, and the fan will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking, the fan turns off immediately when the door is opened and turns on immediately when the door is closed. Convection, Bake and Broil (only during preheating) elements will turn off approximately
30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.
■Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may need to be reduced also.
To Convection Bake:
Before convection baking, position racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When using 2 racks, place on guides 1 and 4. When using 3 racks, place on guides 1, 3 and 5.
1.Press CONVECT BAKE.
Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than 325°F (163°C). The convection bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
2.Press START.
“Preheating” will show in the display until the set temperature is reached.
“Lo” will also appear in the display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C).
When the actual oven temperature reaches 170°F (77°C), the oven display will show the oven temperature increasing in
When the set temperature is reached, if on, 1 tone will sound.
3.Press OFF when finished cooking.
