broiling and some baking operations. It is used to help keep
internal parts on the control panel cool. The thn will automati-
cally turn offwhen parts have cooled. The fan may contilme to
operate after the oven has been turned off. This is normal.

the display will return to the previous display.

As a general rule when convection baking, set
the oven temperature 25 °F lower than the con-
ventional recipe or prepared mix directions.
Times will be similar to a few minutes less than
directions.
When convection is used to roast meats, roasting
times are generally 25-30% less. (Maintain con-
ventional roasting temperatures.)
For additional baking, roasting and convection
cooking tips plus a roasting chart with recom-
mended roasting temperatures and times, see
