Do not touch the oven window and metallic interior of the oven when taking food in and out. Use thick oven gloves while handling food or accessories. Cookware Use oven-proof cookware. As there is no microwave energy being used you can place metal tins directly onto the metal rack with no danger of arcing. 11 CONVECTION COOKING(with pre-heat) For convection cooking, it is recommended that you preheat the oven to the appropriate temperature before placing the food in the oven.

[. . . ] * Q :Why this standing time recommended after the cooking operation has been completed?Many foods build up enough internal heat to allow the cooking process to continue, even after the food is removed from the oven. Standing time for joints of meat, large vegetables and cakes is to allow the inside to cook completely, without overcooking the outside. * A : "Standing time" means that food should be removed from the oven and covered for additional time to allow it to finish cooking.
