Touch the
CONVECTION COOK
or
CONVECTION BAKE
pad once for
multi-rack convection baking. This
mode is used for cooking food items
on more than one rack (i.e., 2, 3
or more racks) at the same time in
convection bake. See the
Multi-Rack
Convection Baking
section for more
information.
Touch the
CONVECTION COOK
or
CONVECTION BAKE
pad twice for
one-rack convection baking. This mode
is used for cooking food items on only
one rack in convection bake.
Touch the
CONVECTION ROAST
pad
for convection roasting (on some
models).
Touch the number pads to set
the oven temperature.
Touch the
START
pad.
NOTE:
If the Auto Recipe
™
Conversion
Feature is on, it will automatically reduce
the set regular baking temperature by 25°F
to the appropriate convection temperature
in convection bake mode. See Auto Recipe
™
Conversion in the Special Features section.
To change the oven temperature, touch
the
CONVECTION COOK
,
CONVECTION
BAKE
or
CONVECTION ROAST
pad
and then the number pads to set
the new temperature.
When the oven starts to heat, the changing
temperature, starting at 100°F, will be
displayed. When oven reaches the
temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.
Touch
CLEAR/OFF
pad when finished.
■
You will hear a fan while cooking
with convection. The fan will stop when
the door is opened, but the heat will not
turn off.
■
You may hear the oven clicking during
baking. This is normal.
■
In convection bake modes, for maximum
cooking evenness, the fan is designed
to rotate in both directions, with a pause
in between. This is normal.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
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.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers
that are recommended for use in regular
baking can also be used for convection
baking but should not be used at
temperatures higher than the temperature
recommended by the cookware
manufacturer. Plastic cookware that
is heat-resistant to temperatures of
400°F can also be used.
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.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air
cannot circulate well around food
in a pan with high sides.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
When baking cookies, you will get
the best results if you use a flat cookie
sheet instead of a pan with low sides.
Using the convection oven.

Grid
Broiler pan
■
Good for large tender cuts of meat,
uncovered.
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. The
heated air seals in juices quickly for a
moist and tender product while, at the
same time, creating a rich golden brown
exterior.
When you are convection roasting, it is
important that you use a broiler pan and
grid for best convection roasting results.
The pan is used to catch grease spills
and the grid is used to prevent grease
spatters.
