Using the convection oven.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of
time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

Adapting Recipes…

You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.

When baking, reduce baking
temperature by 25°F.

No need to preheat when cooking 
longer than 15 minutes.

■ 

For more information on adapting recipes, see
the Convection Cookbook.

■ 

Use pan size recommended.

■ 

Some package instructions for frozen
casseroles or main dishes have been
developed using commercial convection ovens.
For best results in this oven, preheat the oven
and use the temperature on the package.

To help you understand the difference
between convection bake and roast and
traditional bake and roast, here are some
general guidelines.

Convection Bake

Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked
on multiple shelves.

Good for large quantities of baked foods.

Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,
cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food
cake and bread.

Heat comes from the heating element in
the rear of the oven. The convection fan
circulates the heated air evenly over and
around the food. Preheating is not
necessary with foods having a bake time
of over 15 minutes.

Convection Roast

Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

Heat comes from the top heating
element. The convection fan circulates
the heated air evenly over and around the
food. Meat and poultry are browned on
all sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. Using the roasting rack
provided, heated air will be circulated
over, under and around the food being
roasted. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.

Roasts or poultry should be cooked on the lowest 
shelf position (A) on a shelf.

When you are convection roasting it is
important that you use the broiler pan
and grid and the special roasting rack for
best convection roasting results. The pan
is used to catch grease spills and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters. Place
the meat on the special roasting rack. The
rack holds the meat. The rack allows the
heated air to circulate under the meat
and increase browning on the underside
of the meat or poultry.

Place the shelf in the lowest shelf
position (A).

Place the grid on the broiler pan and
put the roasting rack over them making
sure the posts on the roasting rack fit
into the holes in the broiler pan.

In a convection oven, a fan
circulates hot air over, under and
around the food. This circulating
hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a
result, foods are evenly cooked and
browned—often in less time than
with regular heat.
