Convection Cooking and Baking (some models)
The convection option, available on some models, isan additional feature tothe regular oven cooking methods of baking/roasting.
Instructions for using the convection option are included in the instructions for setting the oven controls.
Convection cooking is a method of cooking in which the heated air of the oven is
circulated by a fan at the rear of the oven cavity. This fan is covered by a baffle to
circulate the air uniformly, providing even heat distribution for faster and more even
cooking, baking and browning. The heated air penetrates food from every angle,
sealing in natural moisture and flavors. The convection fan automatically turns off
when the oven door isopened and resumeswhen the door isclosed again. However,
the convection heating element will stay on.
The oven can be programmed to bake in the convection mode at any temperature
from 170°F/77°C to 550°F/288°C. Preheating the oven for 10-12 minutes is
recommended when using convection, but isnot necessarywhen roasting or cooking
casseroles.
Due to better heat distribution inside the oven, lower temperatures can be used
when using the convection mode. This temperature adjustment is automatically
made by the electronic oven control. When using the convection mode, this actual
oven temperature will be 25°F/12°C lower than the displayed temperature. This
allows you to use your existing recipes without having to manually adjust the
tem peratu re downward.

To Set the Preheat Temperature (some models)
Use the preheat function for regular baking as recommended in the recipe. The preheat function reduces preheating time.
To Set the Oven Using the Preheat Function for Normal Baking:
1. Push PREHEAT.'.... and the word "BAKE" will glow in the display. Proceed to the next operation within 5 seconds.
2. Pushthe UP or DOWN ARROW. "350°F/177°C" will appear in the display. Use the UP or DOWN ARROW to increase or
decrease the bake temperature in increments of 5°F/1°C. After 5 seconds, "PrE", "BAKE" and "ON" will appear in the display.
The oven will begin heating tothe selected temperature. When the oven heats up tothistemperature, a beep sounds to indicate
that preheating iscompleted. The timer automatically goes on to the baking mode. You can now place food in the oven for
baking.
To change the temperature after baking has begun, repeat steps I and 2.
To cancel the preheat function, push PREHEAT, or push CANCEL.
