■ When roasting poultry and meat, use the roasting rack on the
top of the broiler pan and grid. It is not necessary to wait for
the oven to preheat, unless recommended in the recipe.
Style 1 - Convection Baking and Roasting
During the CONVECT function, the ring element operates, along
with the fan, to provide an indirect source of heat in the oven
cavity. Use CONVECT for single or multiple rack baking and
roasting.
■ When using more than one rack, position bakeware/
cookware on the racks to allow movement of the fan
circulated air around the food. See the “Positioning Racks
and Bakeware” section.
■ If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.
During the CONVECT preheating cycle, the fan, and the bake and
broil elements heat the oven cavity. When preheating is finished,
the ring element cycles to maintain the oven temperature while
the fan continues to constantly circulate the heated air.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking or
preheating, the element(s) and fan will turn off immediately. Once
the door is closed, they will come back on.
■ For optimal cooking results, do not cover food with aluminum
foil.
To Select Convection Settings
There are 5 convection presets for time and temperature. Each
can be activated by sequentially pressing the CONVECT key.
The temperatures and times can be changed for each of the
following settings. This helps you to match the convection oven
settings with package instructions or your favorite recipes.
Convection Settings
NOTE: Each temperature in this table is 25°F (10° to 15°C) lower
than for a non-convection oven. At the end of each set time, the
oven will turn off.
1. Press CONVECT keypad.
The first setting in the display will show convection at
325°F (165°C), and scrolling text at the bottom of the screen
will scroll in this order: “SET TEMP OR TIME” then “OR PUSH
START” then “PUSH AGAIN” then “FOR NEXT.”
Each time the CONVECT keypad is pressed, the display will
move to the next preset (for Cookies, Meats, Casseroles or
Frozen). The following instructions are applicable for each
preset.
2. Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads to enter a
temperature other than the preset convection temperature.
The convection bake range can be set between 170°F and
500°F (75°C and 260°C).
3. Press the HOUR and/or MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads to
enter the stop time.
4. Press START.
The preheat display will show “Lo” in the temperature field
until the temperature is above 170°F (75°C). Once
170°F (75°C) is reached, the display temperature will increase
as the actual temperature of the oven increases, and it will
display “OVEN IS PREHEATING” in the lower text line.
5. Press OFF/CANCEL to exit function when finished cooking.
Style 3 - Convection Baking and Roasting
(on some models)
The convection feature is ideal for single rack baking and
roasting. If using more than one rack, move pans from top to
bottom shelf halfway through cooking.
During convection baking or roasting, the bake and broil
elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven
temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or roasting,
the fan will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the
oven door is closed.
To Use:
1. Press BAKE or BROIL.
2. Press CONVECT keypad to turn on fan.
3. Press the TEMP/HOUR (or TEMP/TIME) “up” or “down”
arrow pads to desired temperature.
4. Press START.
5. Press CONVECT keypad to turn off fan when finished
cooking.
6. Press OFF/CANCEL to turn off oven.
