Kenmore ELITE 790.488 - Manual (Page 18)

During convection heating, hot air is circulated throughout
the oven cavity to brown and crisp foods quickly and evenly.
This section gives you specific convection cooking
instructions and procedures.
The oven should not be used without the turntable in place,
and it should never be restricted so that it cannot rotate. You
may remove the turntable when preheating the oven and
when preparing food to be cooked directly on the turntable.
