Convection Cooking uses the convection element (on some models) and the fan. The Broil element will also cycle on and off. Hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity by the fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly.

The Convect function may be used to cook small amounts of food on a single rack.

■Always use the Convection Grid.

■Do not cover Turntable or Convection Grid with aluminum foil.

■Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap or paper products. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking, but metal utensils cannot be used in microwave cooking. Round pizza pans are excellent for convection cooking.

■Use convection cooking for items such as souffles, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meats and fish.

■No special techniques are needed to adapt standard oven recipes to convection cooking, although some temperatures might need to be reduced, and some cooking times might need to be shortened.

■This oven may be preheated in the same way that standard oven is preheated. (Most recipes for baked goods call for preheating.)

To Convect Cook with Preheat:

1.Position convection grid on turntable in microwave oven and close the door.

2.Touch CONVECT twice.

“PREHEAT” will appear in the upper oven display.

Touch the number pads to set a temperature other than 325°F (162°C). The cook temperature setting may be changed as desired from 170°F to 450°F (77°C to 232°C).

Celsius temperatures below 100°C must have a “0” at the beginning of their entries. For example, 77°C must be entered as 0-7-7.

3.Touch START/ADD A MINUTE.

The upper oven display will show the “TIME” prompt.

4.Touch number pads to enter length of time to cook, in hours and minutes, up to 4 hours.

5.Touch START/ADD A MINUTE.

“Lo” will appear in the upper oven display until the temperature reaches 170°F (77°C). When that temperature is reached, the display will show the preheating temperature in 5°F (-15°C) increments until the set cooking temperature is reached.

When preheating is complete, one tone will sound, and the display will show the set cook time.

6.Place food or bakeware on convection grid and close the door.

7.Touch START/ADD A MINUTE.

The upper oven display will count down the cook time.
