OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Convection Convert
Convection convert automatically converts 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 a delay start and bake time. For delay
start instructions, see page 17. For bake time instructions,
see page 16. If convection conversion
is used with the bake
time and delay start features, CF
(check food) will be
displayed when 75% of the bake time complete. At this time
the oven control will sound three long beeps at regular
intervals until baking time is finished. The control will
display End and continue to beep at regular intervals until
off is pressed.
To set the oven for convection bake with a standard
bak
ing recipe temperature of 400°F:
1. Ar
range interior oven racks.
2. Press c
onvect. Convect and bake will flash and 350
will appear in the display.
3. Pres 4 0 0. Con
vect and bake will keep flashing and
400° will appear in the display.
4. Press st
art.
5. Set ba
ke time or delay start if needed. For delay start
instructions, see page 17. For bake time instructions,
see page 16.
6. Press c
onvect convert, and the oven will start heating.
The temperature displayed will be 25°F lower than what
it used to be. The actual oven temperature and the fan
icon will be displayed. A beep will sound once the oven
temperature reaches 375°F, and the display will show
375°, CONVECT, BAKE, and the fan icon.
7. Plac
e food in the oven.
Setting Convection Broil
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 oven can be programmed for convec-
tion and normal broiling at any
temperature between 400°F
to 550°F with a default temperature of 550°F (See Table 2).
To set a convection broil temperature of 500°F:
1. Ar
range oven racks first. Press convect; 350 will be
displayed, and convect and bake will flash.
2. Press c
onvect two more times; 550 will be displayed
and convect and broil will flash.
3. Press 5 0 0.
4. Press st
art.
5. 500, CONVECT, BROIL, and the fan i
con will be
displayed.
6. Af
ter 5 minutes of preheat, place food in the oven.
Convection broiling tips:
• Fo
r optimum browning, preheat the broil element for 5
minutes. Always pull the rack out to the stop position
before turning or removing food.
• Always
use a broiler pan and its grid when broiling
(available by mail order). It keeps grease away from the
high heat of the broil element.
• Do
not use the broil pan without the insert. Do not cover
the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could
catch fire. If using a searing grill (available by mail
order), preheat the grill for 5 to 10 minutes before
placing your meat. Broil one side until the food is
browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season
and serve.
• Con
vection broiling is generally faster than conventional
broiling. Check for doneness at the minimum recom-
mended time.
When using a bake time under 20 minutes, the convec-
tion convert will not beep and display
the CF message.
Pressing of
f will stop the feature at any time.
Bake, broil, and convection element
s will cycle for better
heat distribution and faster and more even cooking.
NOTE
The preheat tone will not sound for this feature.
