Convection Cooking

To avoid risk of burns, handle utensils, racks, and door with care. Allow oven, utensils, and racks to
cool before cleaning. Oven, utensils, and racks, become hot during operation.
Convection Cooking
Convection cooking utilizes both a
convection element and fan to
evenly distribute heated air
throughout the oven cavity. By
circulating air, no hot or cold spots
occur, creating a consistent
temperature envelope around the
food. These consistent temperatures
cook food evenly and reduces
cooking time. Oven will always
operate in convection mode.
All the pad does is
beep.
Ovens are not shipped
preprogrammed. Any preset
cooking conditions must be set by
the customer. If a pad is pressed
that has not been programmed, a
rapid triple beep will sound and no
cooking condition will initiate.
