Convection Baking and Roasting
1. Broil element
2. Convection fan
3. Bake element
During convection baking or roasting , the bake and broil
elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven
temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or roasting,
the broil element and fan will turn off immediately and the bake
element will turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once
the door is closed.
■
For optimal cooking results, do not use aluminum foil.
■
Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may
need to be reduced also. See the cookbook supplied with
this oven for more information.
To Convection Bake or Roast:
Before convection baking or roasting,
position the racks
according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
When using two racks, place them on rack positions 2 and 4.
When roasting with CONVECT BAKE, use the roasting rack on
top of the broiler pan and grid. It is not necessary to wait for the
oven to preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in
the recipe.

Broiling and Custom Broiling
1. Broil element
Broiling uses direct radiant heat from the broil element to cook
food. During broiling, the broil element cycles on and off in
intervals to maintain the oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during broiling, the broil element will
turn off immediately and come back on once the door is closed.
■
Use only the broiler pan and grid provided with the appliance.
It is designed to drain juices and help prevent spatter and
smoke.
■
For proper draining, do not cover the grid with foil. The
bottom of the pan may be lined with aluminum foil for easier
cleaning.
■
Trim excess fat to reduce spattering. Slit the remaining fat on
the edges to prevent curling.
■
Pull out oven rack to stop position before turning or removing
food. Use tongs to turn food to avoid the loss of juices. Very
thin cuts of fish, poultry or meat may not need to be turned.
■
After broiling, remove the pan from the oven when removing
the food. Drippings will bake on the pan if left in the heated
oven, making cleaning more difficult.
To Broil:
Before broiling or custom broiling, position the rack according to
the Broiling Chart.
Position food on the grid in the broiler pan, then place it in the
center of the oven rack with the longest side parallel to the door.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in,
unless recommended in the recipe.
Close the door.
