Convection Cooking
Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and
continuously within the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast,
even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when
using two racks at the same time.
Heated airflows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors.
Meats and poultry cooked with Convection cooking are crispy brown on the
outside while staying moist and tender on the inside. Breads and pastries
brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be cooked faster
and more evenly with Convection cooking. Also, using two oven racks gives
better results and saves time.
General Convection Cooking Instructions:
1. When using Convection, decrease your normal cooking times as shown in
Figure 1. Adjust the cook time for desired doneness as needed. Time
reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be
cooked. Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or
very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked
on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.
2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking meats, poultry and casseroles
with Convection.
3. When using Convection
with a single rack,
place oven rack in
position 3 or 4. If
cooking on multiple
racks, place the oven
racks in positions 3 and
5 for the best results.
4. Cakes have better
results when baked in
the normal bake
function.
To Set Convection Cooking:
1. Program the oven as you normally would for baking. Convection may be
used with Bake, Time Bake and Delayed Time Bake features.
2. Press and release Convection switch. The indicator light will glow and the
fan will come on after a 6 MINUTE DELAY. If the oven temperature has
already reached 350°F, the fan will come on Immediately.The fan stays on
when the oven door is closed and shuts off while the oven door is opened.
When the oven door is re-closed, the fan will continue to operate until
cooking is complete.
3. To cancel the Convection feature, press
