CONVECTION DEFROST With temperature control off, air is circulated by a motorized fan in the rear of the oven. The fan accelerates natural defrosting of the food without heat. To avoid sickness and food waste, do not allow defrosted food to remain in the oven for more than two hours.
Convection Baking Convection baking is the process of cooking food with a flow of heated air circulating throughout the oven cavity. The even circulating of this air equalizes the temperature throughout the oven cavity and eliminates the hot and cold spots found in conventional ovens. This feature can make a significant difference in foods prepared in the oven.

Conventional Broiling Broiling is a dry-heat cooking method using direct or indirect radiant heat. It is used for small individualized cuts such as steaks, chops, and patties. Broiling is most successful for cuts 1-2 inches (2.54-5.1 cm) thick. Conventional broiling is more suitable for flat pieces of meat. Your oven contains a top broil element to provide additional flexibility for broiling foods such as stuffed lobster and for top-browning casseroles, meringue, etc.
