Baking, Roasting and
Convection Cooking
Every oven has its own characteristics. You may find that the
cooking times and temperatures vary slightly from your old
oven. This is normal.
Oven Fans
A
cooling fan
will automatically turn on during cleaning,
broiling and some baking operations. It is used to help keep
internal parts on the control panel cool. The fan will automati-
cally turn off when parts have cooled. The fan may continue
to operate after the oven has been turned off. This is normal.
A convection fan is used to circulate hot air in the oven when
the convection feature is selected. It automatically turns on
whenever the
CONVECT
pads are pressed and will turn off
when
CONVECT
is canceled.
NOTE:
The convection fan will automatically stop whenever
the oven door is opened.

Notes . . .
◆
If more than five seconds elapse between pressing a
pad and pressing a number pad, the display will
return to the previous display.
◆
Whenever the ON indicator word appears in the
display, the oven is heating.
◆
To recall the set temperature during preheat, press the
Bake, Convect Bake
or
Convect Roast
pad. The set
temperature will be displayed briefly and then return
to the on-going program.
◆
To change the oven temperature during cooking,
press the
Bake, Convect Bake
or
Convect Roast
pad and the appropriate number pads for the desired
oven temperature. If you are lowering the tempera-
ture below the current oven temperature, the indica-
tor words PREHEAT and ON will appear briefly and
the preheat chime will sound.
◆
As a general rule when convection baking, set the
oven temperature 25
°
F lower than the conven-
tional recipe or prepared mix directions.
Times will
be similar to a few minutes less than directions. (See
chart on page 10 to compare times and temperatures
of many baked foods.)
◆
When using the
Convect Roast
pad, roasting times
are generally 25-30% less. (Maintain conventional
roasting temperature.)
◆
For additional baking, roasting and convection cook-
ing tips plus a roasting chart with recommended
roasting temperatures and times, see
“Cooking Made
Simple”
booklet.
◆
When the oven is preheated, the oven will chime and
the ON and PREHEAT indicator words will go off.
Allow 7–11 minutes for the oven to preheat.

At the end of cooking, turn the oven off by pressing the
Cancel
pad. Remove food from oven. The oven will
continue operating until the
Cancel
