Convection Cooking
TimeSavor™ Plus Convection cycles the bake, broil, and
convection elements on and off in intervals while the fan
circulates the hot air. This movement of hot air helps maintain a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
IMPORTANT:
With convection cooking, most foods can be
cooked at a lower temperature or at a shorter time. This range
automatically reduces the set oven temperature by 25°F (15°C)
for convection cooking.
During convection cooking, the bake, broil, and convection
elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven
temperature, while the fan circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection cooking, the fan
will turn off immediately. It will come back on when the oven
door is closed.
NOTE:
The oven door must be closed for convection broiling.
TimeSavor™ Plus Convection
When convection baking, broiling or roasting enter your normal
baking temperature. The control will automatically reduce the set
oven temperature by 25°F (15°C).

Broiling
Leave the door open 4" (10.2 cm) at the broil stop position
to ensure proper broiling temperature. Preheat the oven for 5
minutes before putting food in unless recommended otherwise
in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, then place
it in the center of the oven rack.
NOTE:
Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven
is used or if the oven is heavily soiled.
Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise
control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the
cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish
and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Use racks 6
or 7 for broiling. Refer to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware”
section for more information.
On lower settings, the broil element will cycle on and off to
maintain the proper temperature.
■
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be
ordered. Please refer to the “Accessories” section for more
information.
WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
