food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
How to
set the
oven for
convection
baking or
roasting
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the
correct position before you turn on the oven.
1 Press the CONV BAKE/1 RACK pad (Convection
Bake 1-Rack mode) for 1-rack convection
baking. This mode is used for cooking food
items on only 1 rack in convection bake.
Press the CONV BAKE/MULTI pad (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 the Multi-rack
convection baking section for more
information.
Press the CONV ROAST pad for convection
roasting.
2 Press the number pads to set the desired
oven temperature.
3 Press the START pad.
To change the oven temperature, press the
CONV BAKE/MULTI, CONV BAKE/1 RACK or
CONV 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, will be displayed.
When the oven reaches the temperature you set,
3 beeps will sound.
4 Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when finished.
NOTE:
• 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.
• The convection fan will cycle on and off while
cooking to best distribute the hot air in the oven.
