CONVECTION AND COMBINATION COOKING

MANUAL CONVECTION COOKING

To preheat the oven for convection cooking follow steps 1-3 below.

To convection cook without preheating the oven, skip step 3 below.

NOTE: For best results, many recipes require preheating the oven before you begin cooking. Use cooking utensils that will not melt or burn in the hot oven. Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wraps, or paper products during any convection or combination cycle.

1.Touch CONVECT.

2.If you want to set a temperature other than 350°F (177°C), touch TEMP/POWER Up and Down pads to set desired temperature.

The temperature can be set at 100°F (38°C) for bread proofing, or between 225 and 450°F

(107 and 232°C), for cooking. Each touch adjusts the setting by 5°F (2.8°C).

HELPFUL HINTS FOR CONVECTION COOKING

For best results, place food on the Convection Rack.

Do not cover Turntable or Convection Rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that cooks the food.

Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items. Choose pans that do not have extended handles.

Use convection cooking for items like souffles, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meat and fish cooking.

You do not need to use any special techniques to adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection cooking. However, you may need to lower some temperatures or reduce some cooking times from the convection oven cooking directions.

When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls, or other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating. Preheat the empty oven just as you do a regular oven. You can start heavier dense foods such as meats, casseroles, and poultry without preheating.

All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking.

Use metal utensils only for convection cooking. Never use for microwave or combination cooking since arcing and damage to the oven may occur.

4.Place food in appropriate cookware on Convection Rack.

5.Touch HOUR and MIN Up and Down pads to set cooking time.

6.Touch START.

NOTE: It is not necessary to preheat the oven unless your recipe calls for it.
