Using the convection oven.
(upper oven only) GEAppliances.com
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time
while using convection cooking.
In a convection oven, a fan
circulates hot air over, under and
around the food. This circulating
hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a
result, foods are evenly cooked and
browned—often in less time than
with regular heat.
To help you understand the difference between
convection bake and roast and traditional bake
and roast, here are some general guidelines.
Convection Bake
■ Preheat the oven. See the Using the Oven­
Preheating and Pan Placement section.
■ Ideal for foods cooked on multiple racks.
■ Good for large guantities of baked foods.
■ Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,
cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food
cake and bread.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Convection Roast
■ Good for large tender cuts of meat,
uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food. Meat and
poultry are browned on all sides as if they
were cooked on a rôtisserie. Heated air will be
circulated over, under and around the food
being roasted. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product while,
at the same time, creating a rich golden brown
exterior.
Roasts or poultry should be cooked on rack
position (A).
When you are convection roasting, it is
important that you use a broiler pan and grid
for best convection roasting results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills and the grid is used

Auto Recipe"^ Conversion
You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.
When using Convection Bake, the oven will
automatically convert the oven temperature
from regular baking to Convection Bake
temperatures.
Using the number pads, enter the
temperature recommended in the recipe.
Touch the Start pad.
The display will show the actual
converted (reduced) temperature. For
example, if you enter a regular recipe
temperature of 350°F (177°C) and touch
the Start pad, the display will show CON
and the converted temperature of 325°F
(163°C).
NOTE-This feature only converts cooking
temperatures, not cooking times.
When convection roasting, the oven
temperature will not auto convert.
Touch the Clear/Off pad when baking is
finished.
■ Use pan size recommended in the recipe.
■ Some package instructions for frozen
casseroles, main dishes or baked goods
have been developed using commercial
convection ovens. For best results in
this oven, preheat the oven and use the
temperature, for regular baking, on the
package.
To deactivate the feature:
[y] Touch the lower oven Warm and Bake
pad at the same time until the display
shows SF.
Touch the Convection Bake pad. The
display will show Con On. Touch the
Convection Bake pad again. The display
will show Con Off.
Touch the Start pad.
