Convection
Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven
cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the
food to heat the outer portion quickly, creating even
browning and sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of
hot air over the food surfaces.
9 CAUTION
The oven door and exterior and the wire rack will
become hot during Convection. Always use oven
mits.
Cookware tips for Convection
▯
Metal Pans:
Recommended for all types of baked products,
especially where browning is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and
pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper
crust.
Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or
muffins because they reflect heat and help produce a
light tender crust.
▯
Glass or glass-ceramic casseroles or baking dishes:
Best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the
cleanability of glass.
Note: Always use the convection rack when using the
Convection mode.
Setting Convection mode
Convection cooking temperature ranges from 200° F
(93°C) to 450° F (232°C).
1. Touch Convection. 350° F and START are blinking,
the À symbol lights up in the display.
2. Enter the desired temperature using the number keys.
3. Touch Start/Enter. The preheat bar appears in the
display. The oven starts preheating.
Note: Do not open the appliance door during
preheating.
When preheating is completed, the oven will beep
twice briefly, and the preheat bar goes away.
4. Open the door, place convection rack and food in the
oven. Close the door quickly in order to maintain oven
temperature.
Note: During convection cooking, the vent fan can
automatically turn on at the lowest speed setting to cool
the oven components.
To end convection cooking, touch Clear/Off.
Opening appliance door during operation
Opening the appliance door during operation will
interrupt the current mode. When you close the
appliance door, operation will be resumed.
Cancel operation
Touch Clear/Off to cancel the active oven mode. The
appliance turns off and the clock is displayed.
The cooling fans may continue to run for a while and then
switch off automatically.
