COOKINGWITHCONVECTION
There are many advantages to cooking with
convection.Intheconvectionsystem,afaninthe
backoftheovenmovesheatedaireve nlyaround
the oven. The moving air provides even heat so
foods can be placed on any rack level with
consistent results and without having to rotate
the
pans. Convection also enables cooking
simultaneouslyonmultipleracks.
Low, shallow bake ware should be used with
convectioncooking. This allows theheatedair to
properly move around the food. Pans with high
sidesorpansthatarecov eredarenotsuitablefor
convection cooking because high sides or lids
prohibitthewarmairfromcirculatingaroundthe
food.
Any food cooked uncovered will brown evenly
and form a nice crust. Foods in covered dishes
(casseroles, pot roast) or delicate custards are
notsuitableforconvectioncooking.

TURBO
Time can be saved by baking an entire batch of
cookies at the same time. The cookies will bake
evenly and be done all at once. The baking time
may be shorter due to the warm circulating air.
For small items such as cookies, check to see if
they are done
one to two minutes before the
recipetime.Forlargerbakeditemssuchascakes,
check five to six minutes before the time

.
Convection cooking of meat and poultry will
result in foods that are brown and crispy on the
outside and moist and juicy on the inside. Large

or an instant read thermometer will provide
more accurate results than the "minute per

Converting Conventional Baking to Convection
Cooking -
To convert most recipes for baked
items(cookies,cakes,pies,etc.),reducetheoven
temperatureby25°F/‐4°C.Formeatsandpoultry,
use the temperature recommended in recipes
andcookingcharts.
CONVECTION BAKE
Full power heat is radiated from the bake
element in the bottom of the oven cavity and
partialpower is radiatedfromthe broil element.
Airiscirculatedbythefanintherearoftheoven.
It provides more even heat distribution
throughout the oven cavity for all uses. Multiple
rack use is possible for baking large amounts of
food.Whenroasting,coolairisquicklyreplaced‐

CONVECTION
The rear element operates at full power. Air is
circulated by the fan for even heating. Use this
setting for food which requires gentle cooking
suchaspastries,soufflésorcakes.
TURBO
The rear and bottom elements operate at full
power. Air is circulated by the fan for even
heating. Use this setting to reduce pre‐heating
time of the oven or for recipes which require
uniform cooking with strong heat from bottom
suchaspizza,focaccia,bread
.

BAKE/CONVECTION/TURBO
PreheatingtheOven
Preheat the oven before baking. The oven does
not need to be preheated for large pieces of
meat or poultry. See your recipe for preheating
recommendation. Preheating time depends on
thetemperaturesettingandthenumberofracks
intheoven.
Temperature
Setting
When using Convection Bake, reduce the
temperature recommended in the recipe by
25°F/‐4°C. When roasting meats, check internal
temperature prior to time recommended by
recipe to prevent over cooking. When roasting
meats in convection mode, do not reduce
temperaturesetting.
