Convection Cooking - Lower Oven Only
(on some models)
During convection cooking, the fan provides increased hot air
circulation throughout the oven. The movement of heated air
around the food helps to speed up cooking by penetrating the
cooler outer surfaces.
■
It is important not to cover foods so that surface areas remain
exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.
■
Keep heat loss to a minimum by only opening the oven door
when necessary.
■
Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with
lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
■
Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the
minimum cooking time with a method such as a toothpick.
■
Use a meat thermometer to determine the doneness of meats
and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or
3 different places, including the thickest part.
■
Before convection cooking, position the rack(s) according to
the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
■
When using more than one rack, position bakeware/
cookware on the racks to allow movement of the fan
circulated air around the food. See the “Positioning Racks
and Bakeware” section.
■
If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.
■
For optimal cooking results, do not cover food.
■
When roasting poultry and meat, use a broiler pan and grid. It
is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat, unless
recommended in the recipe.
To order a broiler pan, see the “Assistance or Service”
section.
Convection Baking (on some models)
Use Convect Bake for single or multiple rack baking. When
convection baking, reduce your recipe baking temperature by
25°F (15°C).
To Set Convect Bake:
1. Press CONVECT BAKE.
“CONVECT BAKE” will scroll in the lower text area, and 325°F
(163°C) will be displayed.
“Set temp or” will scroll in the lower oven text area, followed
by “Push START.”
2. Press the Temp/Time “+” or “-” pads until the desired
temperature is displayed.
3. Press START to begin preheating oven.
“CONVECT BAKE” will scroll in the lower oven text area and
“Rapid Preheating for single rack. Press START to preheat for
multi-rack” will scroll in the lower oven text area until the set
temperature is reached.
NOTE: If the upper oven is in use, the lower oven will default
to the standard preheat/multi-rack baking option.
4. “Insert food for one rack convect only” will scroll twice in the
lower text area once the one-rack preheat temperature is
reached.
5. When prompted in the display, Press START if multi-rack
baking is desired. If multi-rack baking is selected, “Standard
preheating for multi-rack baking. Press Start to preheat for
single rack” will appear in the display followed by “Preheating
for multi-rack baking.” “Insert food” will appear once the
oven set temperature is reached.
6. When the preheat cycle is complete, “CONVECT BAKE” will
scroll in the lower oven text area until LOWER CANCEL is
pressed.
7. Place food in the oven.
To change the oven temperature during cooking, press the
Temp/Time “+” or “-” pads until the desired temperature is
displayed and then START.
8. Press LOWER CANCEL when finished.
9. Remove food from the oven.
Convection Roasting (on some models)
When convection roasting, enter your normal roasting
temperature. The roasting time should be 15-30% less than
conventional cooking.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven for convect roast.
1. Place food in oven.
2. Press CONVECT ROAST.
“CONVECT ROAST” will scroll in the lower text area, and
350°F (176°C) will be displayed.
“Set temp or” will scroll in the lower oven text area, followed
by “Push START.”
3. Press the Temp/Time “+” or “-” pads until the desired
temperature is displayed.
4. Press START.
“CONVECT ROAST” will scroll in the lower oven text area.
“Preheating” will scroll in the lower oven text area until the set
temperature is reached.
When the preheat cycle is complete, “CONVECT ROAST” will
scroll in the lower text area. The set temperature will also be
displayed.
To change the oven temperature during cooking, press the
Temp/Time “+” or “-” pads until the desired temperature is
displayed and then START.
“CONVECT ROAST” will remain in the lower text area until
LOWER CANCEL is pressed.
5. Press LOWER CANCEL when finished.
6. Remove food from the oven.
