TIPS FOR CONVECTION
COOKING
This section provides cooking instructions and
procedures for each convection function.
Convection cooking circulates hot air through the
oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air
surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickly,
creating even browning and sealed-in flavor through
the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.
To use convection cooking, turn the dial to select the
Convection or Combination modes. DO NOT USE THE
OVEN WITHOUT THE TURNTABLE IN PLACE.
1. Always use the metal rack on the turntable when
convection cooking.
2. Do not cover the turntable or metal rack with
aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of a
4. Use convection cooking for items like soufflés,
breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and for
some meat and fish.
5. The oven comes equipped with a metal tray which
can be used for cooking in convection mode or
combination mode.
6. No special techniques are necessary to adapt
favorite oven recipes to convection cooking; but
reduce the oven temperature by 25°F from the
recommended temperature when cooking packaged
foods in convection mode.
7. When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls, or
other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating.
Preheat the empty oven just as with a regular oven.
You can start heavier dense foods such as meats,
casseroles, and poultry without preheating.
8. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be
used in convection cooking.
9. As in conventional cooking, the distance of the
food from the heat source affects cooking results.
Refer to the charts in this owner's manual.
OPERATION
10. Use metal utensils only for convection cooking.
Never use for microwave or combination cooking
since arcing and damage to the oven may occur.
11. After preheating, if the door remains closed,
the oven automatically holds at the preheated
temperature for 30 minutes.
PRECAUTIONS
• The oven cavity, door, turntable, roller rest, metal tray,
metal rack, and cooking utensils become very hot.
USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the food,
cooking utensils, metal rack, metal tray, and turntable
from the oven after convection cooking.
• Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic
wraps, or paper products during any convection cycle.
