USING YOUR CONVECTION OVEN
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 for items like soufflés,
breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and for
some meat and fish cooking.
5. Your oven comes equipped with metal tray which can
be used for cooking on convection mode or
combination mode.
6. You do not need to use any special techniques to
adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection
cooking; however, you may need to lower some
temperatures or reduce some cooking times from the
convectional oven cooking directions. See examples
in the charts in this section.
7. 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.
8. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used
in convection cooking.
9. As in conventional cooking, the distance of the food
from the heat source affects cooking results. Refer to
the charts in this Use and Care Guide.
10. Use metal utensils only for convection cooking.
Never use for microwave or combination cooking
since arcing and damage to the oven may occur.
11. After preheating, if you do not open the door, the
oven will automatically hold at the preheated
temperature for 30 minutes.
12. Lower oven temperature by 25°F from package
recommended temperature.
PRECAUTIONS
• The oven cavity, door, turntable, rotating ring, metal
racks, and cooking utensils will become very hot.
USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the food,
cooking utensil, metal rack, and turntable from the oven
after convection cooking.
• Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic wraps,
or paper products during any convection cycle.
