OPERATION
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 GLASS TURNTABLE IN PLACE.
1. You can cook food with the Metal Cooking Rack
on the glass turntable.
2. Do not cover Glass turntable or Convection 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, galss turntable, rotating ring,
convection racks, and cooking utensils will become
very hot.
USE THICK OVEN GLOVES when removing the
food, cooking utensil, Convection rack, and Glass
turntable from the oven after convection cooking.
• Do not use lightweight plastic containers, plastic
wraps, or paper products during any convection cycle.
