Convect
Convection uses a fan to circulate hot air evenly over, under
and around the food. As a result, foods are evenly cooked
and browned, often in shorter times, at lower temperatures
and with the flexibility of using more than one rack at a time.
Notes:
• The oven control comes from the factory set for Auto
Convect Conversion. When using Convect Bake and
Convect Pastry enter the conventional baking
temperature. The control automatically converts the
temperature to 25° less than the conventional
temperature.
• When using Convect Roast the temperature will not be
automatically reduced. Enter the conventional roasting
temperature and time. The control then lets you know
when 75% of the time has elapsed and alerts you to
check the food for doneness.
• To turn Auto Convect Conversion off, see page 25.
Convect Options
Cook & Hold and Delay options are available when convect
cooking. See page 20 for information on how to program a
Cook & Hold or Delay option.
