Page 27: Tips For Convection Cooking
TIPS FOR CONVECTION COOKING This section gives you cooking instructions and procedures for operating each convection function. Please read these instructions carefully. 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 by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces. -
Page 28: Convection
CONVECTION During convection cooking, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Convection cooking temperature ranges from 100°F to 450°F. It is best to preheat the oven when convection cooking. Note: Lower oven temperature by 25°F from package recommended temperature, instructions. -
Page 29: Tips For Combination Cooking
TIPS FOR COMBINATION COOKING This section gives you instructions to operate each combination cooking function. Please read these instructions carefully. Sometimes combination microwave-convection cooking is suggested to get the best cooking results since it shortens the cooking time for foods that normally need a long time to cook. This cooking process also leaves meats juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. -
Page 30: Speed Auto Combination
SPEED AUTO COMBINATION This oven can cook food without entering cooking time or power level on combination mode. SPEED AUTO COMBINATION has 4 food categories. See the SPEED AUTO COMBINATION CHART on this page for the settings available. For best results, place food on the rack. When cooking meats, use the metal tray/drip pan to catch drippings. -

CONVECTION BAKING GUIDELINES 1. Always use the convection rack when convection baking. Place food directly on rack or place in metal tray and then place tray on rack. 2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most convection baking, light, shiny finishes give best results because they prevent overbrowning in the time it takes to cook the center areas. - Page 32 CONVECTION BAKING GUIDELINES (CONT'D) FOOD Pies, Frozen Pie Pastries Meringue-Topped Two-Crust Quiche Pastry Shell Meat, Chicken, Casseroles Seafood Combinations Pasta Potatoes, scalloped Vegetable Convenience Frozen Bread Dough Foods Frozen Entrée Frozen Pizza Rising Crust Frozen Pizza French Fries Crinkle Frozen Waffle Frozen Cheese Sticks Frozen Turnovers Meat Loaf...
