In a conventional oven,the heat sources cycle on and off to
maintain an average temperature in the oven cell.
As the temperature gradually rises and falls, gentle air currents are
produced within the oven. This natural convection tends to be
inefficient because the currents are irregular and slow. In this
convection system the heat is “conveyed” by a fan that provides
continuous circulation of the hot air. This European Convection
system provides state-of-the-art engineering and advanced design
to create the finest convection oven. In standard convection ovens, a
fan simply circulates the hot air around the food. The system is
characterized by the combination of an additional heating element
located around the convection fan and the venting panel that
distributes heated air in three dimensions: along the sides, the top,
and the full depth of the oven cavity. This European Convection
system aids in maintaining a more even oven temperature throughout
the oven cell.
Standard cooking modes (Bake, Broil, etc.) use heat radiated from
one or more elements to cook food. Convection modes use both
heat from the elements and fans in the back of the oven to
continuously circulate the heated air throughout the oven.
The circulating air aids in speeding up the baking process and
cooks the food more evenly. By controlling the movement of heated
air, convection cooking produces evenly browned foods that are
crispy on the outside yet moist inside. Convection cooking works
best for breads and pastries as well as meats and poultry.
Air-leavened foods like Angel food cakes, soufflés, and cream puffs
rise higher than in a conventional oven. Meats stay juicy and tender
while the outside is flavorful and crisp.
By using European Convection, foods can be cooked at a lower
temperature and cooking times can be shorter. When using this
mode, the standard oven temperature should be lowered by 25℉
(15℃). Foods requiring less cooking time should be checked slightly
earlier than normal. For best results, foods should be cooked
uncovered, in low-sided pans to take advantage of the forced air
circulation. When using the Convection Roast mode, the standard
oven temperature does not need to be reduced.
ADVANTAGES OF CONVECTION COOKING
COOLING VENTILATION
In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, this model is
equipped with a cooling fan, which comes on automatically
when the oven is hot.
When the fan is on, a normal flow of air can be heard exiting
between the oven door and control panel.
NOTE:
When cooking is done, the fan stays on until the oven cools down
sufficiently.
Even baking, browning and crisping.
Multiple rack cooking.
No special bake ware required.
Saves time and energy.
Juices and flavors are sealed in.
Air leavened foods such as cream puffs, soufflés, meringues
and breads are higher and lighter.
