Using the lower convectionoven.
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of
time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.
In a convection oven, a fan
circulates hot air over, under and
around the food.
This circulating hot air is evenly
distributed throughout the oven
cavity. As a result, foods are evenly
cooked and browned--often in less
time than with regular heat.
