TIPS FOR CONVECTION COOKING

This section gives you cooking instructions and
procedures for operating each convection
function.
Please read these instructions carefully.
Convection cooking circulates hot air through
the oven cavity with a fan. The constantly
moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer
portion quickly, creating even browning and
sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of hot
air over the food surfaces. Your oven uses
convection cooking whenever you use the
Convection Command Pads. DO NOT USE
THE OVEN WITHOUT THE TURNTABLE IN
PLACE.
1. You can cook food with the Metal Cooking
Rack on the turntable.
2. Do not cover turntable or metal rack with
aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of
air that cooks the food.
3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking
utensils for many convection-only items.
Choose pans that do not have extended
handles.
4. Use convection cooking for items like
soufflés, breads, cookies, angel food cakes,
pizza, and for some meat and fish cooking.
5. You do not need to use any special
techniques to adapt your favorite oven
recipes to convection cooking; however,
you may need to lower some temperatures
or reduce some cooking times from the
convection oven cooking directions. See
USING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
examples in the charts in this section.
6. When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls,
or other baked foods, most recipes call for
preheating. Preheat the empty oven just as
you do a regular oven. You can start
heavier dense foods such as meats,
casseroles, and poultry without preheating.
7. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils
can be used in convection cooking.
8. As in conventional cooking, the distance
of the food from the heat source affects
cooking results. Refer to the charts in this
Use and Care Guide.
9. Use metal utensils only for convection
cooking. Never use for microwave or
combination cooking since arcing and
damage to the oven may occur.
10. After preheating, if you do not open the
door, the oven will automatically hold at the
preheated temperature for 30 minutes.
PRECAUTIONS
• The oven cavity, door, turntable, rotating ring,
metal racks, and cooking utensils will become
very hot.
USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing
the food, cooking utensil, metal rack, and
turntable from the oven after convection
cooking.
• Do not use lightweight plastic containers,
plastic wraps, or paper products during any
convection cycle.
