Cooking Instructions

CONVECTION bAKING AND ROASTING

As a general rule, convection baking will allow prepara-
tion of most foods at reduced temperatures for shorter
periods of time, while allowing superior results.
Typically, you can reduce the standard bake tempera-
ture the recipe recommendeds by 25°F (aprox. 15°C).
In addition, the recipe's recommended cook time can
also be reduced 10% to 25%.
In the convection mode, the convection fan located
in the rear of the oven cavity draws air from the oven
chamber, and directs the heated air back into the cham-
ber through the convection baffle. The baffle distributes
the air evenly to ensure uniform results. Temperatures
may be set from 170°F (77°C) to 500°F (260°C).
General Convection Instructions for bak-
ing
1 When baking with the convection mode, start by
decreasing your recipe's recommended cooking
temperature by 25°F. Then, decrease your
recipe's recommended cooking time by 25%.
Time reductions will vary depending on the
amount and type of food to be cooked.
2 Baking pans with no sides or very low sides
should be used to bake on so heated air can be
allowed to circulate around the food. Food baked
on a pan with a darker finish will cook faster.
To set oven for baking with the con-
vection mode, using a recipe requiring
350°F:
1. Arrange oven racks to desired position.
2. Turn the "Oven" selector knob to 325°F.
3. The oven indicator light will turn on, and the oven
will begin to preheat.Once the oven temperature
reaches 325°F the oven indicator light will turn
off.
4. Press fan switch to the "On" position to begin
convection cooking.
The oven indicator light will cycle on and off until the
"Oven" selector knob is turned to the "OFF" position.
To change the Convection bake tempera-
ture (example 325°F to 400°F):
1 After the oven has already been set to 325°F ,
and the oven temperature needs to be changed
to 400°F, turn the Bake selector knob to 400°F.
When the oven temperature reaches 400°F, the
oven indicator light will turn off.

CONVECTION bAKING AND ROASTING
To roast meats and poultry, the Convection mode is
recommended to produce meats and poultry that are
deliciously seared on the outside and succulently juicy
on the inside in record time.
Foods that are exceptional when prepared with the Con-
vection mode include: beef, pork, ham, lamb, chicken,
turkey and Cornish hens.
When preparing meats for convection cooking, use the
broiler pan and insert which comes with your range.
Placing the food on the top of the pan insert will allow
the heat to circulate around the food.
General Convection Instructions for
Roasting
1. When roasting with the convection mode, set the
oven temperature to your recipe's recommended
cooking temperature. Start by decreasing your
recipe's recommended cooking time by 25%,
adding more cooking time if needed for your
desired Time reductions will vary depending on
the size and type of food to be cooked.
2. When roasting meats, always roast meats fat
sideup. Always use a pan that fits the size of the
food being prepared. In most cases, the broiler
pan and insert can be used. No basting is
required when the fat side is up. Do not add
water to the pan. It will cause a steamed effect.
Roasting is a dry heat process.
3. Poultry should be placed breast side up, in a
shallow pan that fits the size of the food.
Again, your broiler pan and insert accompanying
the range can be used. Poultry can be basted
with butter, margarine or oil before and during
roasting.
4. When roasting with the Convection mode, pans
with tall sides are not recommended. They
