BROILING CHART
For best results, follow the chart below. For diagram, see the
"Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section.
A temperature setting of 550°F (288°C) is recommended.
Times are guidelines only and may need to be adjusted for
individual foods and tastes. Preheat is not needed for broiling.

An "o" after the rack position number indicates that the offset
rack should be used. An "f" indicates that the flat rack should be
used, and an "r" indicates that the roll-out rack should be used.
Convection
(on some models)
In a convection oven, the fan-circulated hot air 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, while sealing in moisture.
Most foods, using convect baking mode, can be cooked by
lowering cooking temperatures 25°F (14°C). The cooking time,
can be shortened by as much as 30 percent when using Convect
Roast, 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 using a method such as a toothpick.
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Use an oven mitt to remove temperature probe.
Do not touch broil element.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.
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.
Convect Bake
(on some models)
The convection element is hidden in the rear panel of the oven
cavity, and, assisted by the convection fan, provides balanced,
efficient heating.

Convection baking can be used for baking up to 2 racks of cakes
and up to 3 racks of food such as cookies. If the oven is full, extra
cooking time may be needed.
When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods,
be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures.
Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space
between the cookware and the sides of the oven.
During convection baking preheat, the convection (depending on
the model), bake and broil elements all heat the oven cavity while
the fan (depending on model) circulates the hot air. After preheat,
the convection element (depending on the model), bake element,
broil element and fan (depending on model) will cycle on and off
in intervals to maintain oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking, the fan
turns off immediately and turns on immediately when the door is
closed. Convection, Bake and Broil elements will turn off
approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn
on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.
Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C).
