Convection Broil/Max

Convection Broil

Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It combines intense heat from the upper element with heat circulated by a

àconvection fan.

Max Convection Broil uses a larger broil element which allows you to broil more food at one time.

Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other foods. Always use Convection Broil with the door closed.

In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection broiling is faster.

To use the broil pan:

•For normal Convection Broil: food should be placed in the center of the broil pan and grid.

•For Max Convection Broil: food should be spread out over the entire broil pan and grid.

Tips

•Preheat oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.

•Steaks and Chops should be at least 1½" thick.

•Use the broil pan and grid included with your oven.

•Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.

•Turn meats once during the recommended cook time (see charts at the end of the book).

•Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex®); it cannot tolerate the high temperature.

Speed Convection

Speed Convection uses all heating elements as well as the convection fan to evenly distribute heat

T throughout the oven cavity. The main difference between speed convection and other convection modes is that it does not require preheating.

Speed Convection is well suited for frozen convenience foods such as fish sticks and chicken nuggets. The benefits of Speed Convection include:

•Decrease in cook time since preheating is not necessary.

•Crispy and evenly browned frozen foods.

Tips:

•Begin cooking all frozen convenience products in a cold, non-preheated oven. The food will still be done in package time.

•Follow package instructions for time and temperature.

•Flipping of food halfway through recommended cook time is not necessary.

•Frozen foods that are sold in microwaveable plastic containers should not be used in this mode.

•Cook food items on rack position 3 unless directed otherwise by the product manufacturer.

•Evenly space food items on pan.

•For double ovens, only one cavity is available when using Speed Convection.
