Convection cooking uses the convection element, the broil
element and the fan. Hot air is circulated throughout the oven
cavity by the fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to
heat the outer portion quickly.
■
The convect function may be used to cook small amounts of
food on a single rack.
■ Always use the convection grid placed on turntable or
baking tray.
■
Always use the turntable "On" option when convection
cooking with the convection grid (default setting).
■ Do not cover turntable or convection grid or baking tray with
aluminum foil.
■ Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap or paper
products. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be
used in convection cooking. Round pizza pans are excellent
for convection cooking.
■ Use convection cooking for items such as souffles, breads,
cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meats and fish.
■
All EasyConvect™ functions require preheating before use.
Place food in microwave oven after preheating is complete.
EasyConvect™ Conversion is a function that converts a
standard thermal bake cook time and temperature into an
ideal cook time and temperature for convection cooking after
the oven has preheated.
Convection temperatures and times differ from those of standard
cooking. The oven can automatically reduce standard recipe
temperatures and times for convection cooking.
The conversion may not be exact because foods are grouped in
general categories. Use the following chart as a guide.
