CONVECTION COOKING
Convection ovens use heated circulating air within the oven cavity to
cook food. Therefore, it is important for consistent food preparation to
always use a convection rack when operating the oven in convection
or a combination of microwave/convection heating. This allows air to
circulate around and underneath the item being cooked. A convection
rack designed for your appliance should have been supplied with your
oven.
Since the hot air is in constant circulation, food may cook faster at
a given temperature, as compared to a standard oven. Adjustments
to cooking time and temperature may be required in order to obtain
desired cooking results.
MICROWAVE/CONVECTION OVEN COOKING TIPS
• Learn about your settings. Most microwave/convection ovens will allow you to cook with microwave
radiation only (timed cooking), convection only (cooking with hot, circulating air, at a particular
temperature), or both at the same time.
• Choose the microwave setting for things you would traditionally microwave, particularly for short periods
of time. These foods might include microwave popcorn, reheated leftovers or quick steamed vegetables.
When using the microwave setting, cover the food to retain moisture, and don’t use any metal pans, racks
or utensils.
• Choose the convection setting for baked goods or anything else that you want to have a crispy exterior,
such as roast meat or vegetables. Elevate the food with a rack, so that hot air can circulate under the pan.
• Cook in a combination microwave/convection setting when you would like your food to finish especially
quickly, with a well-done interior as well as a crispy exterior. The microwave rays penetrate thick foods,
like whole birds, for quick cooking, while the convection currents and ambient heat give the outside a
roasted texture.
• Be aware when you to cook in a convection oven that food may be done more quickly than it would in
a conventional oven, even if you use the convection only setting. Use food thermometers and test foods
earlier than you would expect, to avoid overcooking.
NOTE: For consistent and
even cooking, always use a
convection rack to elevate the
pan when using the convection
heating feature of this
appliance.

NOTICE NOTICE
It is important that the microwave/convection oven is vented properly for optimum performance. If
your oven doesn’t seem to reach its set pre-heat temperature, then check to see that vents to the
outside are not blocked or restricted.
If the vents are un-restricted, then the temperature may need to be recalibrated. Refer to the
appliance owner’s manual for temperature calibration instructions.
