MANUAL CONVECTION COOKING
To preheat the oven for convection
cooking follow steps 1-3 below.
To convection cook without preheating
the oven, skip step 3 below.
NOTE: For best results, many recipes require
preheating the oven before you begin cooking. Use
cooking utensils that will not melt or burn in the hot
oven. Do not use light plastic containers, plastic
wraps, or paper products during any convection or
combination cycle.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR CONVECTION
COOKING
•
For best results, place food on the Convection Rack.
•
Do not cover Turntable or Convection Rack with
aluminum foil. It interferes with the flow of air that
cooks the food.
•
Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for
many convection-only items. Choose pans that do
not have extended handles.
•
Use convection cooking for items like souffles,
breads, cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most
meat and fish cooking.
•
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.
•
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.
•
All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used
in convection cooking.
•
Use metal utensils only for convection cooking.
Never use for microwave or combination cooking
since arcing and damage to the oven may occur.
•
After preheating, if you do not open the door, the
oven will automatically hold at the preheated
temperature for 30 minutes.
USING THE DRIP PAN
NOTE: For any Convection or Combination cooking
of foods that drip grease, such as steak or
hamburger, we recommend that you place the Drip
Pan (Part No. 8172250) under the Convection Rack to
catch the grease.
