Using the convection oven.
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of
time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element
To help you understand the difference
between convection hake and roast and
traditional bake and roast, here are some
general guidelines.

In a convection oven, a fan
circulates hot air over, under and
around the food, This circulating
hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavit_ As a
result foods are eveniy cooked and
browned---often in less time than
with regular heal
Heat comes from the heating element in
the rear of the oven. The convection fan
circulates the heated air evenly over and
around the food. Preheating is not
necessary with foods having a bake time
of over 15 minutes.
Convection Roam

Heat comes from the top heating
element. The convection fan circulates
the heated air evenly over and around the
food. Meat and poultry are browned on
all sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. Using the roasting rock
provided, heated air will be circulated
over, under and around the food being
roasted. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.

When you are convection roasting it is
important that you use the broiler pan
and grid and the special roasting rack for
best convection roasting results. The pan
is used to catch grease spills and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters. Place
the meat on the special roasting rack. The
rack holds the meat. The rack allows the
heated air to circulate under the meat
and increase browning on the underside
of the meat or poultry.
lUPlace the shelf in the lowest shelf
position (A).
m Place the grid on the broiler pan and
put the roasting rack over them making
sure the posts on the roasting rack fit
into the holes in the broiler pan.
