fan
This circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are
evenly cooked and browned—often in less time
with convection heat.
NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on and off while

The convection 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.
