Convection Cooking - Maytag W10669242B Use & Care Manual

During convection cooking, the fan provides hot air circulation
throughout the oven. The movement of heated air around the
food can help to speed up cooking by penetrating the cooler
outer surfaces. Food cooks more evenly, browning and crisping
outer surfaces while sealing moisture inside.
During the Convect function, the ring element, bake and broil
elements, and the fan operate to heat the oven cavity. If the oven
door is opened during convection cooking or preheating, the fan
turns off immediately and the element(s) will turn off after
30 seconds. Once the door is closed, the element(s) will turn
back on.
NOTE: The convection fan may run in non-convection cycles
during preheat.
It is important not to cover foods so that surface areas remain
exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.
Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only
when necessary.
Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with
lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the
minimum cooking time with a method such as using a
toothpick.
Use a meat thermometer to determine the doneness of meats
and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or
3 different places, including the thickest part.
Before convection cooking, position the rack(s) according to
the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.
When using more than one rack, position bakeware/
cookware on the racks to allow movement of the fan
circulated air around the food. See the "Positioning Racks
and Bakeware" section.
If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.
For optimal cooking results, do not cover food.
When roasting poultry and meat, use a broiler pan and grid. It
is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat, unless it is
recommended in the recipe.
To order a broiler pan, see the "Assistance or Service"
section.

or START" will scroll in the text area.
2. Press START. "CONVECT BAKE" and "Set Temp or Press
START" will scroll in the text area, and 325ºF (162ºC) will be
displayed.
3. Press the Temp/Time keypad to enter the desired
temperature. The temperature can be set from 170°F (77°C)
to 550°F (288°C).
4. (Optional) If a Set Cooking Time is desired, press COOK
TIME. Press the Temp/Time keypad to enter the desired cook
time. "Press START" will scroll in the text area.
5. (Optional) If a Set Start Time is desired, press DELAY START.
Press the Temp/Time keypad to enter the desired time to
delay the beginning of the cooking cycle. "Press START" will
scroll in the text area. If a cooking time was not set, the
control will prompt you to Set Cooking Time. Set Cooking
Time is mandatory when using the Set Start Time function.
6. After you press START the oven will preheat and it will sound
a beep when the preheat is done. There are two preheat
modes on CONVECT BAKE function. Use Rapid Preheating
when using a single rack only, use the Preheating when using
multiple rack. It's possible to switch between "Rapid
Preheating" and "Preheating" by pressing START during the
preheating.
7. Place the food in the oven and close the oven door when
preheat is completed.
8. Press CANCEL for the selected oven when finished.
9. Remove food from the oven.
NOTES:
The temperature may be changed at any time by pressing
the Temp/Time keypad to enter the desired temperature
and then pressing START. Changing the temperature
once food is placed in the oven could affect the cooking
performance.
You can set or change the cooking time at any time while
the oven is cooking by pressing COOK TIME. At the end
of the time set, the oven will turn off automatically, the
end of cycle tone will sound and "Cooking Complete" will
