During convection baking preheat, the convection and broil elements and the bake element all heat the oven cavity. After preheat, the convection element and the bake element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or preheating, the broil and convection element and fan will turn off immediately. They will come back on once 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 two racks, place on guides 2 and 4. When using three racks, place on guides 1, 3 and 5.
1.Press CONVECTION BAKE.
2.On some models, press TEMP “up” or “down” pads (buttons) to set a temperature other than 350°F (175°C). On other models, press the number pads to enter a temperature other than 350°F (175°C). Press the “up” or “down” Pads (buttons) to raise or lower the temperature in 5°F/5°C increments.
3.Press START.
A preheating time and “PrE” will appear on the display. The oven control automatically sets a preheating time based on the oven temperature you select. When the set temperature is reached, the temperature will replace “PrE” on the display.
When the set temperature is reached, if on, one tone will sound.
4.Press OFF when finished cooking.
Auto Convection Baking
(on some models)
Auto convection baking allows you to convection cook without entering convection cooking temperatures. Simply enter the standard cooking temperature for the food to be cooked. The oven will reduce the temperature for convection cooking. Check the food as it is cooking because it may cook faster than the time suggested in your recipe.
To Convection Auto Bake:
1.Press CONVECTION AUTO BAKE.
Set the temperature to the standard
The oven control will automatically adjust the correct convection cooking temperature when cooking starts.
2.Press START.
The oven control will automatically reduce the cooking temperature from the standard cooking temperature to the correct convection cooking temperature.
The electronic oven control will automatically set the preheat time based on the temperature you have selected and will be seen counting down in the display.
During the preheat time, the oven temperature will rise to the selected temperature and when the temperature is reached, the temperature will replace “PrE” on the display.
3.Press OFF when finished cooking.
Convection Roast
(on some models)
Convection roasting can be used for roasting meats and poultry, or for baking yeast breads and loaf cakes using a single rack. During convection roasting, the bake and broil elements will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
To Convection Roast:
Before convection roasting, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.
Use the roasting rack on top of the broiler pan and grid. This holds the food above the grid and allows air to circulate completely around all surfaces.
1.Roasting rack
2.Broiler grid
3.Broil pan
1.Press CONVECTION ROAST.
Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads (buttons) to enter a temperature other than 350°F (175°C).
2.Press START.
As the temperature rises to the set temperature, “PrE” appears on the display. When the set temperature is reached, the temperature will replace “PrE” on the display.
When the set temperature is reached, if on, one tone will sound.
3.Press OFF when finished cooking.
