Using the convection oven.
(on some models)
www.GEAppliances.ca
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 or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.
To help you understand the difference
between convection bake and roast and
traditi onal bake and roast, here are some
general guidelines.
Convection Bake
Ideal foor evenly browned baked foods cooked
on multiple racks.
Good for large quantities of baked foods.
Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,
cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food
cake and bread.
Heat comes from the heating element in
the rear of the oven. The convection fan
circulates the heated air evenly over and
around the food. Preheating is not
necessary with foods having a bake time
of over 15 minutes.
Convection Roast
Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
Heat comes from the top heating
element. 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
rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices

golden brown exterior.
When you are convection roasting, it is
important that you use a broiler pan and
grid designed for broiling for best
convection roasting results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills and the grid is
used to prevent grease spatters.
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.

Use pan size recommended.
Some package instructions for frozen
casseroles or main dishes have been
developed using commercial convection
ovens. For best results in this oven,
preheat the oven and use the
temperature on the package.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking
with several pans, leave space between
them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch
each other or the walls of the oven.
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that arerecommended
for use in regular ovens can be used in
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that
is heat-resistant to temperatures of
205°C (400°F) can also be used, when
oven is below 205°C (400°F).
Paper
flat
and Plastic
Metaland Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastestand arerecommended
for convection baking.
Darkened on matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies, you will get the
best results if you use a cookie sheet
instead of a pan with low sides.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use apanwith low sides.Hot air cannot
circulatewell around food in apanwith
high sides.
