Convection Cooking uses the convection element (on some
models) and the fan. Hot air is circlulated 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 heat proof 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 lowering, and some cooking times reduced.
• This oven may be preheated in the same way that standard
oven is preheated. (Most recipes for baked goods call for
preheating.)
