■ Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with
lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
■ Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the
minimum cooking time with an alternative method such as a
toothpick.
■ Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to
determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the
temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 places.
EASY CONVECT™ Conversion
(on some models)
Convection cooking temperatures and times differ from those of
standard cooking. Depending upon the selected category, EASY
CONVECT™ conversion automatically may reduce the standard
recipe temperature and/or time you input for convection cooking.
Foods are grouped into 3 general categories. Choose the
category most appropriate for the food to be cooked. To ensure
optimal cooking results, the oven will prompt a food check at the
end of a non-delayed cook time. Use the following chart as a
guide.
To Use:
Before using convection temperature conversion for BAKED
GOODS and OTHER FOODS, allow the oven to preheat before
placing food in the oven.
1. Press MEATS, BAKED GOODS or OTHER FOODS.
2. Press number pads to enter standard cook temperature.
3. Press number pads to enter standard cook time.
4. Press START.
“CHECK FOOD AT” and the stop time will appear on the oven
display.
When the stop time is reached, end-of-cycle tones will sound
if enabled. Open the door and check food.
5. Press OFF to cancel the reminder tones.
Auto Convection Baking
(on some models)
Auto convection baking allows you to convection cook without
entering convection cooking temperatures. Simply enter the
standard cooking temperature for the food to be cooked. The
oven will reduce the temperature for convection cooking. Check
the food as it is cooking because it may cook faster than the time
suggested in your recipe.
To Convection Auto Bake:
1. Press AUTO CONVECT.
Set the temperature to the standard non-convection cooking
temperature for the food being cooked.
The oven control will automatically adjust the correct
convection cooking temperature when cooking starts by
reducing the temperature by 50°F (28ºC).
2. Press START.
The oven control will automatically reduce the cooking
temperature from the standard cooking temperature to the
correct convection cooking temperature.
The electronic oven control will automatically set the preheat
time based on the temperature you have selected.
“Lo°” will appear on the display if the actual oven
temperature is under 170°F (77°C). After a temperature of
170°F (77°C) has been reached, the temperature will be
shown on the display until reaching the set point.
3. Press OFF when finished cooking.
Convection Bake
(on some models)
Convection baking can be used for baking delicate cakes and
pastries, as well as foods on multiple racks. It is helpful to
stagger items on the racks to allow a more even flow of heat. If
the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.
When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods,
be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures.
Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space
between the cookware and the sides of the oven.
During convection baking preheat, the broil elements and the
bake element all heat the oven cavity. After preheat, the
convection element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain
oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or
preheating, the convection element and fan will turn off
immediately. They will come back on once the door is closed.
■ Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may
need to be reduced also.
To Convection Bake:
Before convection baking, position racks according to the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
1. Press CONVECT BAKE.
Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than
325°F (163°C). The convection bake range can be set
between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
