Oven Operation ....................................

Baking, Roasting and

Convection Cooking

Every oven has its own characteristics. You may find that the

cooking times and temperatures vary slightly from your old oven. This is normal.

Oven Fans

A cooling fan wiI1 automatically turn on during cleaning, broiling and some baking operations. It is used to help keep internal parts on the control panel cool. The fan will automati- cally turn off when parts have cooled. The fan may continue to operate after the oven has been turned off. This is normal.

A convection fan (select models) is used to circulate hot air in the oven when the convection feature is selected. It automati- cally turns on whenever the CONYECT pad is pressed and will turn off when CONYECT is canceled.

NOTE: The convection fan will automatically stop whenever the oven door is opened.
