TIPS FOR CONVECTION COOKING
This section gives you cooking instructions and procedures for operating each convection function.
Please read these instructions carefully.
Convection cooking circulates hot air through the oven cavity with a fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the
food to heat the outer portion quickly, creating even browning and sealed-in flavor by the constant motion of hot air
over the food surfaces. Your oven uses convection cooking whenever you use the Convection Command Pads.
DO NOT USE THE OVEN WITHOUT THE TURNTABLE IN PLACE.
1. You can cook food with the Metal Cooking Rack on the turntable.
2. Do not cover turntable or metal rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that cooks the food.
3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items.
Choose pans that do not have extended handles.
4. Use convection cooking for items like soufflés, breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and for some meat
and fish cooking.
5. You do not need to use any special techniques to adapt your favorite oven recipes to convection cooking;
however, you may need to lower some temperatures or reduce some cooking times from the convection oven
cooking directions. See examples in the charts in this section.
6. When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls, or other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating. Preheat the
empty oven just as you do a regular oven. You can start heavier dense foods such as meats, casseroles, and
poultry without preheating.
7. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking.
8. As in conventional cooking, the distance of the food from the heat source affects cooking results. Refer to
the charts in this Use and Care Guide.
9. Use metal utensils only for convection cooking. Never use for microwave or combination cooking since arcing
and damage to the oven may occur.
10. After preheating, if you do not open the door, the oven will automatically hold at the preheated temperature
for 30 minutes.
PRECAUTIONS
• The oven cavity, door, turntable, rotating ring, metal racks, and cooking utensils will become very hot.
USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the food, cooking utensil, metal rack, and turntable from the oven
after convection cooking.
• Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic wraps, or paper products during any convection cycle.
