of a fan to provide faster cooking. The fan gently sends
air to every area of the food, quickly browning, crisping
and sealing in moisture and flavor. It produces more even
temperature all around the food by air movement, so that
food cooks evenly.

food directly, not the cookware or the interior of the oven.
Reheating is simple and defrosting is convenient because
less time is spent in food preparation and food does not
stay out on a counter to defrost where it can spoil.

Cookware Guide
Microwave cooking: Most heat-resistant, non-metallic cookware is safe for your microwave oven. However, to test the
cookware before using, place the empty cookware into the microwave with a glass measuring cup filled with water next to it.
Microwave on 100% power for 1 minute. If the cookware is warm, then it should not be used for microwave cooking.
Convection cooking: Metal pans are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially if browning and crusting
is important. Dark or dull finished metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce a crisper
crust. Shiny aluminum pans are best for cakes, cookies or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce a
light, tender crust. You can also use oven safe glass or ceramic cookware.
Combination cooking: Glass or glass-ceramic bake ware is recommended. Be sure not use items with metal trim as it
may cause arcing (sparking) with the oven wall or oven shelf., damaging the oven wall, shelf or oven. Heat-resistant plastic
microwave cookware (safe to 450˚F) may be used, but it is not recommended for foods that require crusting or all around
browning.
