Convection Cooking
Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven
cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the
food that is cooking which heats the outer portion of the
food quickly to brown and make the food crisp quickly and
evenly. You can program the oven to cook with 10 different
pre-set temperatures.
To cook with convection, press the “Convection” button on
the control panel once and then select the desired oven
temperature by pressing on one of the numbered keys.
Then enter the time that you want to cook the food. For
example, if you want to cook something for 30 minutes at
350
˚, press the following:
1. Press “Convection” button once.
2. Select the temperature that you want. In this case it
would be the “8” (350
˚F). (Fig. 1)

on the center of the glass turntable.
5. Use the keypad to enter the cooking time. The oven
will now continue to cook at the temperature that was
previously set.
Tips for Convection Cooking
1.
Do not cover the glass turntable, metal rack, pizza pan
or any other container with aluminum foil. It interferes
with the flow of air that cooks the food.
2. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for
many convection-only items.
3. When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls or other
baked foods, most recipes call for preheating. Preheat
the oven just as you do a regular oven.
4. All heatproof cookware can be used in convection
cooking.
5. Always use oven gloves when removing food and
cookware from the oven.
6. Do not use lightweight plastic containers or paper
products during any convection cooking cycle.
