Using the convection oven.
Touch the
CONVECTION BAKE
pad
once (
CONVECTION BAKE MULTI
mode) for multi-rack convection
baking. This mode is used for
cooking food items on more than
one rack (i.e., 2, 3 or more racks) at
the same time in convection bake.
See
Multi-Rack Baking
section for
more information.
Touch the
CONVECTION BAKE
pad
twice (
CONVECTION BAKE 1 GRILLE
mode) for one-rack convection
baking. This mode is used for
cooking food items on only one
rack in convection bake.
Touch the
CONVECTION ROAST
pad
for convection roasting.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired oven temperature.
Touch the
START
pad.
To change the oven temperature, touch
the
CONVECTION BAKE
or
CONVECTION
ROAST
pad and then the number pads
to set the new temperature.
When the oven starts to heat, the
changing temperature, starting at 100°F
(38°C), will be displayed. When oven
reaches the temperature you set, 3 beeps
will sound.
Touch
RESET/OFF
pad when
finished.
■
You will hear a fan while cooking with
convection. The fan will stop when the door
is opened, but the heat will not turn off.
■
You may hear the oven clicking during
baking. This is normal.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven,
check to see if your cookware leaves
room for air circulation in the oven.
If you are baking with several pans, leave
space between them. Also, be sure the
pans do not touch each other or the
walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended for
use in regular ovens can be used in
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that
is heat-resistant to temperatures of
400°F (204°C) can also be used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
■
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
■
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Convection Roast
■
Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Meat and poultry are browned on all
sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.
When you are convection roasting, it
is important that you use a broiler pan
and grid designed for broiling for best
convection roasting results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters.
■
Place the rack in the lowest rack
position (A).
When baking cookies, you will
get the best results if you use a
flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.
