Setting Oven Controls Convection baking This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best culinary results when baking with multiple pans and racks. Multiple rack baking may slightly increase cook time for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Most foods cooked in a standard oven will cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake. Convection baking uses the three elements and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven.
Setting Oven Controls Convection convert Rapid preheat The Convection Convert pad is used to automatically convert a standard baking recipe for convection baking. When set properly, this feature is designed to display the actual converted (reduced) temperature in the display. Convection Convert may ONLY be used with a Convection Bake cooking mode. It can be used with the features End Time and Cook Time (see their sections for directions).
Setting Oven Controls Convection roasting This mode is best for cooking tender cuts of beef, lamb, pork and poultry. Use this mode when cooking speed is desired. The Convection Roasting gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices. Convection roasting uses the hidden bake element, the hidden convection element, the broil element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. The temperature probe can be used in this cooking mode.
Setting Oven Controls Broiling This mode is best for meats, fish and poultry up to 1” thick. Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. The temperature probe cannot be used with this mode. The oven can be programmed to broil at any temperature from 300°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F. Broiling Tips • Broiling is direct heat cooking and will produce some smoke.
Setting Oven Controls Convection broiling Use this mode for thicker cuts of meat, fish and poultry. The Convection Broiling gently browns the exterior and seals in the juices. Convection broiling uses the broil element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. The temperature probe cannot be used in this cooking mode. The oven can be programmed for Convection Broiling at any temperature between 300°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F.
Setting Oven Controls Keep warm Slow cook This mode is best for keeping oven baked foods warm for serving after cooking has finished.
