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.
Your oven uses convection cooking whenever you use the
Convection Button. DO NOT USE THE OVEN WITHOUT THE
TURNTABLE IN PLACE.
1. Always use the metal rack on the turntable when convection
cooking.
2. Do not cover turntable or metal rack with aluminum foil.
It interferes with the flow of air that cooks the food.
3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils
for many convection-only items. Choose pans that do not
have extended handles.
4.Use convection cooking
angel food cakes, pizza, and for some meat and fish.
5. You do not need to use any special techniques to adapt your
favorite oven recipes to convection cooking; however, you need
to lower oven temperature by 25°F from recommended
temperature mentioned in package instructions when cooking
packaged food in convection mode.
6. When baking cakes,cookies, breads,rolls, or other baked
foods,most recipes call for preheating. Preheat the empty
oven just as you do a regular oven. You can start heavier dense
foods such as meats,casseroles, and poultry without preheating.
7. All heat-proo f cookware or metal utensils can be used in
convection cooking.
8. Use metal utensils only for convection cooking.
Never use for microwave or combination cooking since arcing
and damage to the oven may occur.
9. After preheating, if you do not open the door, the oven will
automatically hold at the preheated temperature for 30
minutes.
PRECAUTIONS
The oven cavity, door, turntable, roller rest, metal tray,
metal rack, and cooking utensils will become very hot.
USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the food,
cooking utensils, metal rack, metal tray, and turntable from
the over after convection cooking.
Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic wraps, or
paper products during any convection.
