Automatic Convection Conversion In the convection bake mode, the temperature is automatically reduced 25° F
from the package or recipe temperature. Simply enter the package or recipe
temperature when setting the mode and the range calculates the correct tem-
perature.
The Automatic Convection Conversion feature can be turned off to allow for
manual temperature adjustment. See “Turn Automatic Convection Conversion
ON or OFF” on page 18 for details.
When the Automatic Convection Conversion feature is activated, the display will
read AUTO CONV BAKE. When the feature is turned off, it will read CONV
BAKE.
Broil
Broiling uses intense heat radiated from the
upper element. The Broil mode is best suited to
cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1” or less),
poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown
breads and casseroles. Always broil with the
door closed.
The benefits of Broiling include:
• Fast and efficient cooking
• Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids
• Browning as the food cooks
