LG Range - Understanding Convection Cooking

  • Operation

At a Glance

Convection cooking uses a fan to evenly distribute the oven's heat within the interior of the oven cavity, during the cooking cycle which results in a more uniform cooking experience.

What is Convection?

Convection uses a fan to circulate heat evenly within the oven. This improves heat distribution and allows for even cooking and excellent results, especially when using multiple racks.

Note
  • The convection cooking modes automatically reduce the oven temperature by 25 °F (14 °C) by using a feature called auto conversion.
    • For example, select Conv. Bake, enter 350 °F, and 325 °F shows on the display after preheat.
  • Auto Conversion is enabled by default on the range. See below for instructions on how to disable the auto conversion feature.

How to Disable Auto Conversion?

1Press and hold Start Time for three seconds.

2Press Start Time repeatedly until Auto appears in the display.

3Press plus(+) or minus(-) to enable or disable the feature.

4Press Start to accept the change.

Convection Bake

Convection Bake cooks faster and more evenly when cooking foods like cookies, biscuits, rolls, or other baked goods on a single rack. Cookies, muffins, and biscuits will have very good results when using multiple racks.

How to Use

1Turn the oven mode knob to select Conv. Bake.

2Set the oven temperature: press plus(+) until the desired temperature appears in the display.

Note

The convection cooking modes automatically reduce the oven temperature by 25 °F (14 °C) by using a feature called auto conversion.

For example, Conv. Bake, enter 350 °F, and 325 °F shows on the display after preheat if auto conversion is enabled.

3Press Start. The display shows Conv. Bake and the converted temperature starting at 100 °F. As the oven preheats, the displayed temperature will increase in 5-degree increments.

4Once the oven reaches the desired temperature, a tone sounds and the oven light blinks on and off. The display shows the auto converted oven temperature: Conv. Bake.

5Place food in oven.

Note

If auto conversion is disabled, reduce standard recipe temperature by 25 °F (14 °C) for Convection Bake. Temperatures have been adjusted in this chart. Multi-rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall time is reduced. This chart is only for reference. Adjust cooking time according to your preference.

Convection Roast

Convection Roast combines cooking with the convection fan to roast meats and poultry. The heated air circulates around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Food cooked in this manner is crispy brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside.

How To Use

1Turn the oven mode knob to select Conv. Roast.

2Set the oven temperature: press plus(+) until the desired temperature appears in the display.

Note

The convection cooking modes automatically reduce the oven temperature by 25 °F (14 °C) by using a feature called auto conversion.

For example, Conv. Roast, enter 350 °F, and 325 °F shows on the display after preheat if auto conversion is enabled.

3Press Start. The display shows Conv. Roast and the converted temperature starting at 100 °F. As the oven preheats, the displayed temperature will increase in 5-degree increments.

4Once the oven reaches the desired temperature, a tone sounds and the oven light blinks on and off. The display shows the auto converted oven temperature: Conv. Roast/p>

5Place food in oven.
