THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
CONVECTION
• The oven should not be used without
the turntable in place, and the turntable
should never be restricted so that it
cannot rotate. You may remove the
turntable when preheating the oven
and when preparing food to be cooked
directly on the turntable. Be sure to
replace it in oven before cooking.
• Do not cover turntable or rack with
aluminum foil. It interferes with airflow that
cooks food.
• Round pizza pans are excellent cooking
utensils for many convection-only items.
Choose pans that do not have extended
sides.
• You can preheat the oven to the
appropriate temperature before placing
the food in the oven.
• When preparing conventional oven
recipes, it is important to check food
about 5 to 10 minutes before the
expected finish time, due to variables
such as the temperature of the food when
first placed in the oven, quantity of food
in the oven, and your preferred level of
“doneness”, etc.
• If not completely done,continue cooking
in oven until the food reaches the
expected level of “doneness.”
• Use the provided grill rack for multi level
cooking.
• Best results are achieved when foods are
baked/roasted on the provided grill rack
to ensure even airflow.
• The lower rack position is used for most
baking and roasting tasks. Use the upper
rack position for grilling and browning.
When Roasting Meat and Poultry
• Meats and poultry are best when roasted
directly on the rack. We recommend
placing a shallow dish or pie plate below
the rack to catch any drippings for gravy
and to reduce/minimize splatter.
• Less tender cuts can be roasted and
tenderized using oven cooking bags.
CONVECTION SETTINGS
There are two convection settings:
convection with preheating and convection
without preheating.
Your oven can be programmed to combine
preheating and convection cooking. You
can preheat to the convection temperature
desired.
A. Convection Cooking with Preheating
For example, you want to preheat to
350º F. and then cook 25 minutes at the
same temperature.
1. Press Convection once. The oven will
display 100F and Conv indicator will
light.
2. Press the number key 7 to set the
temperature to 350°.
3. Press Start/+30SEC. to start preheating.
4. The temperature will flash while the oven
reaches the desired temperature. The
buzzer will beep twice to remind you to
open the door, put food into the oven,
then close the door.
5. Press number keys 2, 5, 0, 0 to set the
cooking time. The maximum time is 99
minutes 99 seconds.
6. Press Start/+30SEC. to start cooking.
Cooking time will count down on the
display.
NOTE:
• Cooking time cannot be entered until
the preheating temperature is reached.
When the temperature is reached,
place the food in the oven and enter
the cooking time.
• If the time is not entered within 5
minutes, the oven will stop preheating.
The signal will beep 5 times to alert
you.
B. Convection Cooking (Without
Preheating Function)
1. Press Convection once. The oven will
display 100F.
2. Press the convection temperature key to
select the temperature you need.
3. Press the Convection button to confirm
the temperature
4. Press the number keys to set cooking
time. The maximum time is 99 minutes
99 seconds.
5. Press Start/+30SEC. to start cooking.
Cooking time will count down.
