Convection Bake/Roast; Air Fryer - KitchenAid KMCS522PPS Series Use & Care Manual

Convection Bake/Roast

The convection system circulates hot air through the microwave
oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the
food to heat the outer portion quickly.
– The microwave oven cavity and door will become hot
during the Convection Roast cycle. The use of oven mitts is
recommended.
– Use the provided convection (short) rack.
– Do not cover turntable or convection rack with aluminum foil
as it interferes with the circulation of hot air.
– Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap, or paper
products.
All oven proof cookware or metal utensils can be used with
the Convection Bake function.
(Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many
convection only items.) Metal utensils cannot be used with
the Convection Roast function.
– No special techniques are needed to adapt standard oven
recipes to convection cooking, although some temperatures
might need to be reduced and some cooking times might
need to be shortened. Using convection pan, Bake/Roast
function may be used to have convection cooking. Times
and cooking powers have been preset for a number of food
types. Use the following chart as a guide.
