How to use convection bake feature - NN-CD87
Warning
Your microwave oven is a cooking appliance and you should use as much care as you use with a stove or any other cooking appliance. Do not leave the oven unattended while in use.
Bake with Pre-heating
The oven can be used as a conventional oven using the Convection mode which incorporates a heating element with a fan. There is a choice of Convection temperatures 100 °F (40 °C) and 215 °F (100 °C) - 425 °F (220 °C). For quick selection of the most commonly used cooking temperatures, the oven starts at 300 °F (150 °C) and then for each press the temperature will count up in 18 °F (10 °C) stages to 425 °F (220 °C), then to, 100 °F (40 °C), 215 °F (100 °C), 230 °F (110 °C) etc.
This feature provides 2 modes to select. For best results always place food in a preheated oven.

Oven accessories to use
When using the Convection oven the glass tray should be in
position and must have the enamel tray placed on top.
The food is then placed onto the enamel tray. Follow your
individual recipe guidelines. When using the oven as a
Convection oven, there is no
Microwave power, i.e. the oven is operating as a
conventional oven and you can use all your standard metal
baking tins and ovenware. It is not recommended to cook on
more than one level when using the Convection oven. When
cooking 2 trays of buns etc, cook in two batches.
Caution:
Food, accessories and the surrounding oven will get very hot. Use oven mitts.
