Convection cooking
Convection cooking circuiates hot air through the oven cavity with a fan. The constantiy moving air
surrounds the food to heat the outer portion quickiy. This seáis in moisture and juices for more flavorful
foods. This oven uses convection cooking whenever BAKE TIME, BROIL TIME, ROAST TIME or AUTO TEMP are
programmed DO NOT USE THE OVEN WITHOUT THE REMOVABLE TRAY IN PLACE. The bottom metal
tray is designed with feet so that air can circulate under the tray for even cooking.
Sometimes Combination Convection Microwave cooking is suggested to achieve the proper cooking
results. In this cooking process the convection heat and microwave energy alternate automatically.

Precautions for convection and combination cooking
• Use oven mitts to remove hot cooking utensils and hot oven racks. The interior surfaces of the oven
will be hot.
• Use care to prevent burns whenever oven is in operation. The oven vent openings and surfaces
near these openings, the oven door glass, door trim, etc. and interior oven surfaces can become
hot enough to burn. Do not touch, or allow clothing or other flammable materials to contact these
surfaces during, or after use, until they have had time to cool.
• Do not cover bottom of oven or oven racks with aluminum foil. This would prevent proper air flow
and result in poor cooking performance.
Using BAKE TIME
The BAKE TIME cycle can be programmed up to 199 minutes, 99 seconds of convection cooking time.
Set time in minutes and seconds. NOTE: 3 hours, 30 seconds will be set 180:30. Five digit numbers
may be used as long as 1 is the first number used. NOTE: 200 minutes may be set as 199:60. This cycle
will cook at 375°F unless another cooking temperature has been selected. BAKE TIME can be used
with AUTO START, QUICK DEFROST and KEEP WARM. When using the Temperature Probe in BAKE TIME, the
PROBE TEMP replaces the cooking time. This cycle requires preheating before the food is placed in
the oven. The preheated time will vary depending on the set cooking temperature. The preheating
time will be approximately 8-11 minutes.
