*Do not stuff poultry when convection roasting.
Convection Broil
During convection broiling, the broil element will cycle on and off
in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly
circulates the hot air.
The temperature is preset at 500°F (260°C), which is “HI,” but can
be changed to a different temperature. Cooking times will vary
depending on the rack position and temperature and may need
to be adjusted.
If the oven door is opened during convection broiling, the broil
element and fan will turn off immediately. They will come back on
once the door is closed.
To Convection Broil:
Before convection broiling, see “Broil” section for general broiling
guidelines. Position rack.
Allow the oven to preheat for 5 minutes. Position food on the
unheated grid on the broiler pan, then place it in the center of the
oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.
1. Close the door.
2. Turn the SELECTOR knob to CONVECT BROIL.
The display will show “HI.”
3. Turn the SET knob to the desired convection broil level.
4. Press the ENTER button to start, or after 10 seconds, the
function will start automatically.
5. Turn the SELECTOR knob to the RESET position when
finished cooking.
Proofing Bread
Proofing bread prepares the dough for baking by activating the
yeast. Follow your recipe recommendation.
To Proof:
Before first proofing, place the dough in a lightly greased bowl
and cover loosely with wax paper, coated with shortening. Place
on rack guide two, then place broiler pan on guide one. See
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” for diagram. Put 2 cups
(500 mL) of boiling water in the broiler pan. Close the door.
1. Turn the SELECTOR knob to PROOF/KEEP WARM.
The display will show 100°F (38°C).
2. Press the ENTER button to start, or after 10 seconds, the
function will start automatically.
Let the dough rise until nearly doubled in size, checking after
20-25 minutes. Proofing time may vary depending on dough
type and quantity.
3. Turn the SELECTOR knob to the RESET position when
finished.
Before second proofing, shape the dough, place it in baking
pan(s) and cover loosely with plastic wrap, coated with cooking
spray. Follow the same placement, broiler pan and water and
control steps above. Before baking, remove the plastic wrap.
To Bake:
1. Turn the SELECTOR knob to BREAD BAKING.
The display will read 430°F (221°C).
2. Turn the SET knob to the desired preheat temperature.
The preheat temperature setting is adjustable between 430°F
and 390°F (221°C and 199°C).
3. Press the ENTER button to start, or after 10 seconds, the
function will start automatically.
Once the oven reaches preheat, a single tone will sound and
the oven display will show 40°F (22°C) below the preheat
temperature setting of 350°F-390°F (177°C-199°C).
4. Turn the SELECTOR knob to the RESET position when
finished.
Keep Warm
The Keep Warm function allows hot cooked foods to stay warm
before serving. It can also be used at the end of a timed cook.
(See “Timed Cooking” section.)
To Use:
1. Turn the SELECTOR knob to PROOF/KEEP WARM.
2. Adjust SET knob to 170°F (77°C).
3. Press ENTER button to start, or after 10 seconds, the
function will start automatically.
4. Turn the SELECTOR knob to the RESET position when
finished.
