Convection
cookware

Before using your convection oven, check 
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking with
several pans, leave space between them. Also,
be sure the pans do not touch each other or
the walls of the oven. Use the pan size
recommended in the recipe.

When baking cookies,

you will get the best

results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead 
of a pan with low sides.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken,

you should

use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate
well around food in a pan with high sides.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans heat 
the fastest and are recommended for
convection baking. 

• Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake

faster than shiny pans.

• Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that
are recommended for use in regular ovens can
be used in convection ovens. Plastic cookware
that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F
can also be used.

How to set
the ovens
for broiling

1

If the meat has fat or gristle around the
edge, cut vertical slashes through both about
2

apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed,

leaving a layer about 1/8

thick.

2

Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid 
in the broiler pan. Always use the grid so 
that any fat will drip into the broiler pan;
otherwise the juices may become hot 
enough to catch on fire.

3

Position a shelf on the recommended shelf
position as suggested in the Broiling Guide.

4

Close door. Your unit has been designed to
broil with the door closed.

5

Push in the BROIL selector button on the
side of the control panel above the oven you
wish to use. 

NOTE: 

A cooling fan will be activated when

the BROIL selector button is pushed. This
cooling fan cools the oven controls when
broiling.

6

Turn the control knob below the selector
button to BROIL. The broiler does not need
to be preheated for most broiling. However,
foods that cook quickly, such as thin strips of

meat or fish may require a short preheating
period of 2 to 3 minutes to allow the food
surface to brown in the same time the food
takes to be cooked throughout.

Turn the food only once during broiling. Time
the foods for the first side according to the
Broiling Guide.

7

When broiling is finished, push in the OFF
selector button.
