NOTE: It is normal for the convection fan to run during nonconvection cycles as well as during preheat. � 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. It is recommended to use the oven light to monitor cooking progress. � 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 a method such as 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, including the thickest part. � Before convection cooking, position the rack(s) according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. � 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. � For optimal cooking results, do not cover food. � Use Convect Bake for single or multiple rack baking. � When convection baking, reduce your traditional recipe baking temperature by 25°F (15°C). Broiling When broiling, no preheating is necessary unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the oven door to ensure proper broiling temperature. NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled. Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Place the food in the lower oven. Refer to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section for more information. On lower settings, the broil element will cycle On and Off to maintain the proper temperature. � For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. If you would like to purchase a Broiler Pan Kit, one may be ordered. See the Quick Start Guide for contact information. Convection Broiling When broiling, no preheating is necessary unless recommended otherwise in the recipe. During the Convect function, broil elements and the fan operate to heat the oven cavity. Position food on grid in a broiler pan, and then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the oven door to ensure proper broiling temperature. NOTE: Odors and smoke are normal the first few times the oven is used or if the oven is heavily soiled. Changing the temperature when broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the broil setting, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry may cook better at lower broil settings. Place the food in the lower oven.

Air Fry Basket (on some models) If your appliance isn't supplied with an Air Fry Basket, see your Quick Start Guide for Online Ordering Information. When using the Air Fry feature, position the air fry basket directly on top of a large baking sheet. See Positioning Racks and Bakeware section of your Control Guide for placement of basket and sheet for best performance. Avoid using more than one basket to avoid uneven cooking. Air Fry (for connected models, when connected)* IMPORTANT: Cooking times, temperatures, and general instructions may vary depending on recipe. Air frying in a large oven cavity allows for more food to be air fried at one time, longer baking times are to be expected. Start the cycle and allow to completely preheat before placing the food in the oven. Position food on the baking tray or air fry basket and place into oven as shown in the Positioning Racks and Bakeware section of your Control Guide. Close the oven door to ensure proper temperature. During air frying, the heating elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature while the fan circulates to hot air. � When air frying, food should be evenly spaced on a baking tray or air fry basket in a single layer. � Refer to instructions on packaged food for conventional oven baking regarding air fry time and temperature. � If oven is already preheated due to previous use, cook times may decrease for Air Fry. � For best results, only use one rack level and one basket or tray for Air Frying. � For frozen, bone-in, or dense foods with cook times less than 15 minutes, additional time may be required. � For fresh food recipes with cook times more than 30 minutes, a 5-10 minute preheat is recommended. � For recipes written for counter top air fryers, additional time will be needed. � It is not recommended to use air fry with wet batter. � For best performance, shake or flip food half-way through bake time. Be sure to close oven door after removing food. � Spray baking tray or air fry basket with oil to avoid food sticking to tray or basket. *Wi-Fi & App Required. Features subject to change.
