Cooking Modes
CONVECTION BROILING
Use this mode for thicker cuts of meat, fish and poultry. The Convection Broiling gently browns
the exterior and seals in the juices. Convection broiling uses the broil element and a fan to
circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven. The temperature probe cannot
be used in this cooking mode. The oven can be programmed for Convection Broiling at any
temperature between 300°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F.
Convection Broiling Tips:
•
For optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 2 minutes.
•
Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and
serve.
•
Always pull the rack out to the "stop" position before turning or removing food.
•
Always use the broiler pan and its grid when broiling. It allows the dripping grease to be kept
away from the high heat of the broil element (see Figure 1).
•
DO NOT
use the broil pan without the insert.
DO NOT cover the broil pan insert with foil.
The exposed grease could catch fire.
DO NOT
use the roasting rack when broiling.
•
Convection broiling is generally faster than conventional broiling. Check for doneness at the
minimum recommended time.
IMPORTANT:
Always use this cooking mode with the
oven door closed or the fan will not turn on.
