CRISP CONVECTION
Benefits of Crisp Convection:
The crisp convection mode is best for light colored and
delicate baked goods like cakes, tarts, cookies, puff
pastries, scones, muffins, biscuits, yeast-free breads, etc.
The hot air circulated by the fan continually distributes
heat more evenly than the natural movement of air
in a standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air
cooks foods more evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing
in moisture and yielding crustier breads. The crisp
convection heating element heats up faster, reducing
cooking time by as much as 30 percent.
Tips for Crisp Convection
y
Time saved will vary depending on the amount and
type of food to be cooked. Choose cookie sheets
without sides and roasting pans with very low sides
to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food
baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.
y
When using Crisp Convection with a single rack, place
the oven rack in position C. If cooking on multiple
racks, place the oven racks in positions B and D.
y
It is important to uncover foods so that surfaces of
food remain exposed to the circulating air, allowing
browning and crisping.
y
Keep heat loss to a minimum by only opening the oven
door when necessary.
Setting the Crisp Convection Mode
1. Turn the upper or lower the Oven Mode knob to
select the CRISP CONV. mode. 350°F (175°C) appears
in the display.
2. Set the oven temperature. For example, turn the
Time/Temp knob clockwise to set the temperature
to 375°F.
3. Touch START. The display shows CONV and the
temperature, starting at 100°F (35°C). As the
oven preheats, the display shows the increasing
temperature in 5-degree increments. Once the
oven reaches the adjusted set temperature, a tone
sounds. The display shows the auto-converted oven
temperature (reduced by 25°F or 14°C).
4. Turn the upper or lower Oven Mode knob to the OFF
position to cancel Crisp Convection at any time.
The heating elements and a fan turn off immediately
when the door is opened. They turn on again in
approximately 1 seconds after the door is closed.
Turn the upper or lower Oven Mode knob to the OFF
position to cancel Crisp Convection at any time.

It is normal for cooling fans to run after any cooking
cycle is complete, to protect the control panel.
