Broiling with Convection
The top heating elements cycle on and off to maintain maximum
temperature in the oven. For best results, the oven should be
preheated for 20 minutes at 450°F before adding the food to be broiled.
In the convection oven, it is not necessary to turn the food because the
fan circulates the hot air around the food. The food must be placed on
the broiling rack fitted into the drip pan to allow the circulation of air.
Operation
• Set Temperature Control to 450°F.
• Turn Function Control to Broil/Convection.
• Preheat the oven.
• Place the broiler rack on the drip pan.
• Place the food on the broiler rack and slide into the top rack support guide
or middle rack support guide depending on the thickness of the food that
you are cooking.
• Food should be placed as close as possible to the top heating element
without touching it.
• Set temperature control to the appropriate temperature.
• Brush food with sauces or oil, as desired.
• Turn time control to position “Stay On”.
• It is advisable to leave the door slightly ajar.
• When broiling is complete, turn the time control to “OFF”.

Cooking results may vary, adjust these times to your individual
requirements. Also, check often during broiling to avoid overcooking.
Note: All broiling times are based on meats at refrigerator
temperature. Frozen meats may take considerably longer.
Therefore, use of a meat thermometer is highly
recommended.

Baking with Convection
Convection baking is very consistent and even. The oven heats quickly, so
preheating is not necessary or desirable. The fan circulates the hot air around
the food making baked goods rise quickly and evenly.
Bake your favorite cookies, cakes, pies, brownies, etc. The bakeware that will
fit in your oven are up to 9 inches in length. We do not recommend the use of
oven roasting bags or glass containers in the oven. Never use plastic,
cardboard, paper or anything similar in the oven.
Note: Position the bake rack in the lowest support guide.
Operation
• Place the bake rack in the lowest or middle rack support guide depending
on the height of the pan or according to the recipe.
• Place pan with item(s) to be baked on the bake rack.
• Turn the function control to Bake/Convection.
• Turn the time control to position “Stay On”.
• When baking is complete, turn the time control to “OFF”.
Baking On 2 Racks
• Two racks of cookies can be baked at the same time, however it is
necessary to rotate them (i.e. move the top to the bottom and the
bottom to the top) halfway through the cooking time.
Positioning of the Bake Racks
Cookies - Use bottom and middle support guides.
Layer Cakes - Use bottom support guide only (bake one at a time).
Pies - Use bottom support guide.
Baking Cookies
For baking cookies, we suggest adjusting baking temperature and using the
cookie sheets placed on the baking racks. Also, using parchment paper on
the cookie sheets might prove helpful when baking certain types of cookies.
1. Use parchment paper on cookie sheets so cookies will not stick.
2. Cookie sheets, baking times and temperatures may differ from
those necessary when using other baking materials.
Note: Convection air is superheated and it circulates around the food, so it cooks food
faster. When baking your favorite recipes or packaged goods, follow recipe
instructions. Check the baked goods a few minutes before the shortest recommended
baking time.
Baking Guide
Follow the package or recipe instructions for baking times and temperature.
