UNDERSTANDING YOUR CONVECTION OVEN
17
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
Button. DO NOT USE THE OVEN WITHOUT THE
TURNTABLE IN PLACE.
1. Always use the metal rack on the turntable when
convection cooking.
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. Your oven comes equipped with metal tray which
can be used for cooking in convection mode or
combination mode.
6. You do not need to use any special techniques to
adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection
cooking;however, you need to lower oven
temperature by 25 °F from recommended temperature
mentioned in package instructions when cooking
packaged food in convection mode.
7. 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.
8. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be
used in convection cooking.
9. 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.
10. Use metal utensils only for convection cooking.
Never use for microwave or combination cooking
since arcing and damage to the oven may occur.
11. 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, roller rest, metal
tray, metal rack, and cooking utensils will become
very hot. USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when
removing the food, cooking utensils, metal rack, metal
tray, and turntable from the oven after convection
cooking.
• Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic
wraps, or paper products during any convection cycle.
