Whirlpool 9763001 Manual Do Utilizador

During convection cooking, the fan provides increased hot air 
circulation continuously and more consistently throughout the 
oven. The movement of heated air around the food helps to 
speed up cooking by penetrating the cooler outer surfaces. Food 
cooks more evenly, browning and crisping outer surfaces while 
sealing moisture inside.

Many foods can be cooked by lowering cooking temperatures 
25°F (10°C) and/or cooking time can be shortened by as much as 
30 percent. By using multiple racks, you can cook more food at 
the same time.

■

It is important not to cover foods so that surface areas remain 
exposed to the circulating air, allowing browning and crisping.

■

Keep heat loss to a minimum by only opening the oven door 
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 to determine the doneness of meats 
and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 
3 different places.

■

Before convection cooking, position the rack(s) according to 
the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

■

When roasting poultry and meat, use the roasting rack on the 
top of the broiler pan and grid. It is not necessary to wait for 
the oven to preheat, unless recommended in the recipe.

During the CONVECT function, the ring element operates, along 
with the fan, to provide an indirect source of heat in the oven 
cavity. Use CONVECT for single or multiple rack baking and 
roasting.

■

When using more than one rack, position bakeware/
cookware on the racks to allow movement of the fan 
circulated air around the food. See the “Positioning Racks 
and Bakeware” section. 

■

If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.

During the CONVECT preheating cycle, the fan, and the bake and 
broil elements heat the oven cavity. When preheating is finished, 
the ring element cycles to maintain the oven temperature while 
the fan continues to constantly circulate the heated air.

If the oven door is opened during convection cooking or 
preheating, the element(s) and fan will turn off immediately. Once 
the door is closed, they will come back on.

■

For optimal cooking results, do not cover food with aluminum 
foil.

There are 5 convection presets for time and temperature. Each 
can be activated by sequentially pressing the CONVECT key.

The temperatures and times can be changed for each of the 
following settings. This helps you to match the convection oven 
settings with package instructions or your favorite recipes.

NOTE: Each temperature in this table is 25°F (10° to 15°C) lower 
than for a non-convection oven. At the end of each set time, the 
oven will turn off.

1. Press CONVECT keypad.

The first setting in the display will show convection at 
325°F (165°C), and scrolling text at the bottom of the screen 
will scroll in this order: “SET TEMP OR TIME” then “OR PUSH 
START” then “PUSH AGAIN” then “FOR NEXT.”

Each time the CONVECT keypad is pressed, the display will 
move to the next preset (for Cookies, Meats, Casseroles or 
Frozen). The following instructions are applicable for each 
preset.

2. Press the TEMP “up” or “down” arrow pads to enter a 

temperature other than the preset convection temperature.

The convection bake range can be set between 170°F and 
500°F (75°C and 260°C).

3. Press the HOUR and/or MIN “up” or “down” arrow pads to 

enter the stop time.

4. Press START.

The preheat display will show “Lo” in the temperature field 
until the temperature is above 170°F (75°C). Once 
170°F (75°C) is reached, the display temperature will increase 
as the actual temperature of the oven increases, and it will 
display “PREHEATING” in the lower text line.

5. Press OFF/CANCEL to exit function when finished cooking.
