Introduction
These ranges provide standard Baking and Broiling,
and in some models Convection Baking and Broiling.
During Convection Baking and Broiling, the oven fan in
the rear of the oven cavity circulates air while the oven
cooks. The circulating air provides even browning and
faster baking and broiling times.
When a convection oven is set to standard mode, the
CONVECTION/STANDARD switch next to electronic
range control is pressed towards “STANDARD” and
does not glow. To set oven to Convection Cooking,
press switch towards “CONVECTION”. The switch
glows and the oven fan operates. When cooking is
complete, press switch towards “STANDARD” to
turn fan off.
Element and Fan Location
A—Upper Element (Broil)
B—Lower Element (Bake)
C—Convection Fan (Some models)
Bake
Upper and lower elements operate during bake. Upper
element is only used to heat oven quickly and brown
top of food. Bake can be used to cook foods that are
normally baked. Oven must be preheated.
Broil
Upper element operates during broil. Broil can be used
to cook foods which are normally broiled. Preheating is
not required when using broil. All foods should be
turned at least once except fish, which does not need
to be turned.
Convection Bake (some models)
Upper element, lower element, and fan operate during
convection bake. Upper element is only used to heat
oven quickly and brown top of food. Convection bake
should be used for cooking casseroles and roasting
meats. Oven should be preheated for best results when
using convection bake. Pans do not need to be
staggered. Cooks approximately 25% quicker than
standard bake.
Convection Broil (some models)
Upper element and fan operate when using convection
broil. Convection broil can be used to cook foods that
are normally broiled. Oven does not require preheating
when using convection broil. Cooks approximately 25%
quicker than standard broil.
Dehydrate (some models)
Uses convection fan with oven at low temperature
(approx. 170ºF). Dehydration is an excellent way to
preserve fresh foods.
