UNDERSTANDING YOUR CONVECTION OVEN 7. When baking cakes, cookies, breads, rolls, or other baked foods, most recipes call for preheating. Preheat the empty oven just as you do a regular oven. You can start heavier dense foods such as meats, casseroles, and poultry without preheating. 8. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be used in convection cooking. 9. As in conventional cooking, the distance of the food from the heat source affects cooking results. Refer to the charts in this Use and Care Guide.
USING YOUR CONVECTION OVEN CONVECTION Example:To set the convection cooking at 375 °F for 30 minutes without preheating. During convection cooking, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. Convection cooking temperature ranges from 225 °F to 450 °F;and 100 °F may be programmed. It is best to preheat the oven when convection cooking. Lower oven temperature by 25 °F from package recommended temperature, instructions.
USING YOUR CONVECTION OVEN CONVECTION COOKING GUIDE 1. Always use the metal rack when convection baking. Place food directly on rack or place in metal tray and then place tray on rack. (See page 9.) 2. Aluminum pans conduct heat quickly. For most convection baking, light, shiny finishes give best results because they prevent overbrowning in the time it takes to cook the center areas. Pans with dull (satin-finish)bottoms are recommended for cake pans and pie pans for best bottom browning.

TROUBLESHOOTING Questions and Answers Operation Question Answer Why is the oven light not on during cooking? There may be several reasons why the oven light is not on. Have you: • Set a cook time? • Touched ENTER/START? Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent? Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty? Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable.
TROUBLESHOOTING Questions and Answers (continued) Food Answer Question What is wrong when baked foods have a hard, dry, brown spot? A hard, dry, brown spot indicates overcooking. Shorten the cooking or reheating time. Why do eggs sometimes pop? When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam buildup inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk with a wooden toothpick before cooking. CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell.
