TIPS FOR CONVECTION COOKING
This section gives you cooking instructions and
procedures for operating each convection function.
Please read these instructions caretully.
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. Ail 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.
f 1. 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 ufensils, metal rack, metal tray, and
turntable from fhe oven after convection cooking.
• Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic
wraps, or paper products during any convection
cycle.
