If gour model has a door latch, do not lock the oven door with the latch during convection cooking. The latch is used
for self-cleaning onlg.
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.
In a convectionoven,a fan circulates
hot air over,underand aroundthe food.
This circulatinghot air is evenly
distributed throughoutthe oven cavity.
As a result, foods are evenly cookedand
browned--often in lesstime thanwith
regularheat.
To help Uou understand the difference
between convection bake and roast and
traditional bake and roast, here are some
general guidelines.
Convection Bake
Preheat the oven. See the Using the oven-
Preheating and Pan Placement section.
Ideal for foods cooked on multiple racks.
Good for large quantities of baked foods.
, Good results with cookies, biscuits,
brownies, cupcakes,cream puffs, sweet
rolls, angel food cake and bread.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Convection Roast
Good for large tender cuts of meat,
uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated air
evenlu over and around the food. Heat and
poultru are browned on all sides as if theu
were cooked on a rotisserie. Heated air will
be circulated over,under and around the
food being roasted. The heated air seals in
juices quicklu for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich,
golden-brown exterior.
Roastsor poultrg should be cooked on rack
position (A).
When you are convection roasting, it is
important that you use a broiler pan and grid
for best convection roasting results.The pan
is used to catch grease spills and the grid is
used to prevent grease spatters.
