Convection cooking uses the convection element, the broil 
element and the fan. Hot air is circulated throughout the oven 
cavity by the fan. The constantly moving air surrounds the food to 
heat the outer portion quickly.

■

The convect function may be used to cook small amounts of 
food on a single rack.

■

Always use the convection grid placed on turntable or baking 
tray.

■

Always use the turntable “On” option when convection 
cooking with the convection grid (default setting).

■

Do not cover turntable or convection grid or baking tray with 
aluminum foil.

■

Do not use light plastic containers, plastic wrap or paper 
products. All heatproof cookware or metal utensils can be 
used in convection cooking. Round pizza pans are excellent 
for convection cooking.
