Convection cooking

The convection fan at the back of the gas oven circulates hot air evenly throughout the oven cavities so that food is evenly cooked and browned in less time than with regular heat.

		• Ideal for foods being cooked using multiple racks.
		• Good for large quantities of food.
		• Provides the best performance for cookies, biscuits, brownies, cupcakes,
		cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake, and bread.
	Convection	• Cookies bake best when cooked on flat cookie sheets.
	baking	• When convection baking using a single rack, place the rack in rack
		position 3 or 4.
		• When convection baking using multiple racks, place the racks in positions
		3 and 5(for Cake), 2 and 5(for Cookie).
		• The oven automatically adjusts the temperature for convection baking.
		• Good for larger, tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
		• For best performance, place a broiler pan and grid under the meat
	Convection	or poultry. The pan catches grease spills and the grid prevents grease
		spatters.
	roasting
		• Heated air circulates over, under, and around the food. Meat and poultry
		are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie.
		• See the "Roasting guide" on page 32 for details.

Temperature probe

The temperature probe lets you cook roasts and poultry to the exact internal temperature you want, taking the guess work out of determining whether a piece of meat is done or not.

You can use the temperature probe with the oven set to Bake, Convection Bake, or Convection Roast. When you use the temperature probe, the internal temperature is shown on the display when it reaches 100 °F.

1. Push the temperature probe into the meat so that the tip of the probe reaches the center

of the meat.

• When you insert the temperature probe,

make sure it does not contact bone, fat,

or gristle.

• For bone-in meats, insert the probe into

the center of the lowest and thickest

portion of the piece.

• For whole poultry (turkey, large chickens,

etc.), insert the probe into the thickest

part of the inner thigh, parallel to the leg.

• If you activate Keep Warm after cooking

is complete using the temperature

probe, the meat’s internal temperature

will exceed your initial settings.

• If you remove the temperature probe while cooking is in process, the oven shuts off in 60 seconds.

• The temperature probe may not function properly if inserted into frozen food. (The temperature probe icon doesn’t appear.)

2. Insert the temperature probe plug into the socket on the top side wall of the oven.
