D. Convection grid
Convection cooking uses the convection element, the broil
element, and the fan. Hot air is circulated throughout the oven
cavity by the fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food
to heat the outer portion quickly.
■ The convect function may be used to cook small amounts
of food on a single rack.
■ Always use the convection grid placed on turntable
or baking tray.
■ Do not cover turntable or convection grid or baking tray
with aluminum foil.
■ Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap, or paper
products. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be
used in convection cooking. Round pizza pans are excellent
for convection cooking.
■ Use convection cooking for items such as souffles, breads,
cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meats and fish.
■ All Convect functions require preheating before use. Place
food in microwave oven after preheating is complete.
Convect Modes is a function that converts a standard thermal
bake cook time and temperature into an ideal cook time and
temperature for convection cooking after the oven
has preheated.
Convection temperatures and times differ from those of
standard cooking. The oven can automatically reduce standard
recipe temperatures and times for convection cooking.
The conversion may not be exact because foods are grouped
in general categories. Use the following chart as a guide.
