BROILING CHART
For best results, place food 3 in. (7 cm) or more from the broil
element. Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted
for individual foods and tastes. Recommended rack positions are
numbered from the bottom (1) to the top (5). For diagram, see the
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
Convection Cooking
(on some models)
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air maintains a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
Most foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures
25°F to 50°F (14°C to 28°C) and cooking time can be shortened
by as much as 30 percent, especially for large turkeys and roasts.
■
It is important not to cover foods so that surface areas remain
exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.
■
Keep heat loss to a minimum by only opening the oven door
when necessary.
■
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 two or three places.
Convection Baking and Roasting
During convection baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements
cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature,
while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or roasting,
the fan will turn off immediately. The fan will come back on once
the door is closed.
■
For optimal cooking results, do not use aluminum foil.
■
Reduce recipe temperature 25°F. The cook time may need to
be reduced also. See the cookbook supplied with this oven for
more information.
To Convection Bake or Roast:
Before convection baking or roasting,
position the racks
according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.
When using two racks, place them on rack positions 2 and 4.
When roasting with convection, use the roasting rack on top of
the broiler pan and grid. It is not necessary to wait for the oven to
preheat before putting food in, unless recommended in the recipe.
1.
Press BAKE. The bake oven indicator light will light up.
2.
Set the temperature (optional).
Press TEMP/TIME “up” or “down” arrow pad to set a
temperature other than 350°F in 5° amounts. The bake range
can be set between 170°F and 500°F.
3.
Press START/ENTER.
The temperature can be changed after this step. START/
ENTER does not need to be pressed again.
4.
Press the CONVECTION FAN switch to the ON position.
The switch light will glow while the convection fan is on.
5.
Press OFF/CANCEL and press the CONVECTION FAN switch
to the OFF position when finished cooking.
