Convection Cooking
Convection Cooking uses the convection element (on some
models) and the fan. The Broil element will also cycle on and off.
Hot air is circulated throughout the oven cavity by the fan. The
constantly moving air surrounds the food to heat the outer
portion quickly.
The Convect function may be used to cook small amounts of
food on a single rack.
■ Always use the Convection Grid.
■ Do not cover Turntable or Convection Grid with aluminum foil.
■ Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap or paper
products. All heat proof cookware or metal utensils can be
used in convection cooking, but metal utensils cannot be
used in microwave cooking. Round pizza pans are excellent
for convection cooking.
■ Use convection cooking for items such as souffles, breads,
cookies, angel food cakes, pizza, and most meats and fish.
■ No special techniques are needed to adapt standard oven
recipes to convection cooking, although some temperatures
might need to be reduced, and some cooking times might
need to be shortened.
■ This oven may be preheated in the same way that standard
oven is preheated. (Most recipes for baked goods call for
preheating.)
To Convect Cook with Preheat:
1. Position convection grid on turntable in microwave oven and
close the door.
2. Touch CONVECT •• PREHEAT twice.
“PREHEAT” will appear in the upper oven display.
Touch the number pads to set a temperature other than
325°F (162°C). The cook temperature setting may be
changed as desired from 170°F to 450°F (77°C to 232°C).
Celsius temperatures below 100°C must have a “0” at the
beginning of their entries. For example, 77°C must be entered
as 0-7-7.
3. Touch ADD MINUTE START.
The upper oven display will show the “TIME” prompt.
4. Touch number pads to enter length of time to cook, in hours
and minutes, up to 4 hours.
5. Touch ADD MINUTE START.
“Lo” will appear in the upper oven display until the
temperature reaches 170°F (77°C). When that temperature is
reached, the display will show the preheating temperature in
5°F (-15°C) increments until the set cooking temperature is
reached.
When preheating is complete, one tone will sound, and the
display will show the set cook time.
6. Place food or bakeware on convection grid and close the
door.
7. Touch ADD MINUTE START.
The upper oven display will count down the cook time.
Each time the door is opened during cooking, the ADD
MINUTE START pad must be touched to restart cooking.
When the cycle ends, “End” will appear in the display, 4 end-
of-cycle tones will sound, and then reminder tones will sound
every minute.
8. Touch upper oven OFF/CANCEL or open the door to clear the
display.
