WARNING
Food Poisoning Hazard
Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before
or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.
IMPORTANT: The Keep Warm function allows hot cooked foods
to stay warm before serving.
To Use:
1. Turn the Oven Control knob to the Keep Warm symbol.
2. The display will show 170°F (75°C).
3. Press OK button to start, or after 10 seconds, the function will
start automatically.
4. Turn the Oven Control knob to the OFF position when
finished.
Convection Cooking
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air continually
distributes heat more evenly than the natural movement of air in a
standard thermal oven. This movement of hot air helps maintain a
consistent temperature throughout the oven, cooking foods more
evenly, crisping surfaces while sealing in moisture and yielding
crustier breads.
Most foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures
25°F to 50°F (15°C to 30°C), and cooking time can be shortened
by as much as 30 percent, especially for large turkeys and roasts.
It is important not to cover foods with lids or aluminum foil so
that surface areas remain exposed to the circulating air,
allowing browning and crisping.
Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening the oven door only
when necessary.
Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with
lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the
minimum cooking time with an alternative method such as
using a toothpick.
Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to
determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the
temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 places.

Convection Baking and Roasting
Convect symbol
During convection baking or roasting, the bake and broil
elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven
temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking or roasting,
the bake and broil elements and fan will turn off immediately.
They will come back on once the door is closed.
Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (15°C). The cook time may need
to be reduced also.
To Convection Bake or Roast:
Before convection baking or roasting, position the racks
according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.
When convection roasting, use the roasting rack on top of the
broiler pan and grid (not included). The roasting rack holds the
food above the broiler pan grid and allows air to circulate
completely around all surfaces of the food.
If you would like to purchase a roasting rack, it may be ordered.
See "Assistance or Service" section to order. Ask for Part
Number W10123240.
It is not necessary to wait for the oven to preheat before putting
in food, unless it is recommended in the recipe.
1. Turn the Oven Control knob to the Convect symbol. The
display will read 325°F (165°C).
2. Turn the Set Control knob to desired temperature. The
convection roast range can be set between 170°F and 500°F
(75°C and 260°C).
3. Press the OK button to start, or after 10 seconds, the function
will start automatically.
4. Turn the Oven Control knob to the OFF position when
finished cooking.
