how do I learn how to use the convection feature for different preparations? The manual from the box gives no directions/clues? and thanks in advance

The keep warm position turns off the convection. Otherwise the convection is on during toast & broil

All I know is that the directions that are given are very minimal but the time that I have use were similar to using an oven it works out for me but u have to get use to the timer the problem I have is the rotisserie I can't put the chicken in with out it flopping around even if I tie it up.

There is no difference in using a convention feature than using a regular oven, it cooks faster. Let me know if this answers you question.

Most answers are already covered. Not much more to say. If you are going to use in the UK you need a transformer as it is 110volts 60Hz. No electronic controls and the temperature is not accurate. rotisserie OK for a mini chicken. (90 mins from cold) OK for heating sausage rolls (20 mins!!) It's is very poor.

Just like a regular oven - at first use the same temperature, same time. Every oven is different and you may have to raise or lower the temp a little, or extend the time. We found that this electric oven takes about 20% longer than our gas fired convection range.Now that we are used to the T-Fal, we use it almost daily.We especially like the rotisserie for chickens. In the pan, we often put \Brussels Sprouts, mushrooms, onions, broccoli florets and they come out at about the same time as the chicken.For thick potato slices - you may wish to microwave them for a minute or so first then finish in the T-Fal.Hope that this helps.

No... the convection fan kicks in automatically, no separate control. However in such a small unit, I don't feel the convection feature makes a great deal of difference in baking time or any other issue.

Its very sensitive and fast. If you are essentially trying to set a surface temp you are better off with a good IR thermometer gun in several places and getting an average temperature. The convection currents in a hot liquid are moving around at a different temp than the surrounding layer, so the best you can get is a close approximation of the temp.

I just noticed that Amazon sent me this question, but we have the sharp r1872-r combined micro/convection, so not sure this is what you were asking about.

I can tell you this, it is not true convection, it is combined. External temp reached over 110 degrees, attempting to return to Sharp, wish me luck, been going thru the return process for over a month now. I would not recommend to anyone who loves and have cooked in true convection ovens.

I found this Proctor Silex toaster oven to heat very uneven for everything. Also always felt hot from the outside... was very poorly made. I returned it and bought and Oster, toaster/convection over. A little more money but well worth it. I have it for a year now and make almost all my meals in it! Great toast too! I hope this helps.

the convection is a separate setting...you can bake or convection bake or broil

I don't see why not. I don't have a convection but I've used it in my regular oven.

M. M.: I'm in the middle of an email conversation with the Appliatech (who services Solo ovens--or perhaps owns the Solo brand--I'm not entirely clear on this relationship) Customer Service technician, regarding my S2000 which currently isn't working due to a bad On/Off/Timer switch. One of the things I've gathered from this email conversation is that the original S2000 oven was wired such that the thermostat controlled the Convection Fan--which is a mistake because in convection mode you want the fan running constantly. In later models of the S2000 this wiring mistake was fixed, such that the Convection Fan runs properly (all the time). I believe that is the reason why some customers are reporting that the fan only runs when the thermostat is on, and others are reporting that it works properly. I'm guessing that if you order an S2000 now, you will be getting a newer, properly wired model, and it was only the early purchasers who got the mis-wired S2000's (but I can't guarantee that).

Make sure you have the unit set on the little screen with the sun pattern , that meens its in cool mode .f its in dehumudify mode,the little droplets pattern will show up on the small screen , you wont get much cooling when its on that cycle ...Thats done by using the MODE button . I found this out that same way , room wasnt getting very cool in dehumidifiing mode , , ...I had to go over the directions to get the modes down properly ...

No it doesn't have the convection option. "It has nonstick die-cast grill plate with a semi-embedded heating element that distributes heat evenly"

The instruction in the box is mostly about installing. For using it, the top knob is to get water flowing either to the shower or to the spout. Turn it left or right. That's also how you adjust the flow, The lower bigger knob is for temperature. Counter clock wise for warmer. The only trick is the small button on the side that you have to push to be able to reach the hot setting.

I don't think there is a difference. The oven cooks using convection and infrared technology. I don't know why they list them different. I bought this black one with the extender ring. I love it. It comes with a pan, 2 metal racks, the extender ring and a DVD to show you how to use it. They also give you a plastic coated 8x11 card that is a quick guide to how long to cook meats and a little cook book. Here's my advice to you. They give you this lid holder. Don't use it. I think that is one of the reasons people's domes are cracking. The plastic gets really hot and the heating unit on top is heavy. When I want to check or turn the food, I pause it and completely take the dome off and place it upright on a wooden cutting board. Further more. When your food is done cooking, take the heating unit off the dome and let them cool separately. After the dome is cool, as in after your meal, hand wash it. People seem to have a problem with the dome cracking. I don't. I never put it in the dishwasher and I never leave it on it's side. Other than that, it's a great oven and I highly recommend it.

I believe you need to use the convection bake temp. Ours did not work properly, but when no one was in the room, the light would come on, the fan would start and the convection bake would turn on all by itself. We had to keep it unplug every time we were not using it. Please be watchful. Hope you have better luck than we did.

I commiserate with you about your convection oven. I haven't been happy with mine since day one. I'm not having the same problem you're having but I don't like the way it functions.

Yes, they are two totally separate functions. You must tell it you are using convection oven cooking instead of the default microwave cooking. My daughter uses the convection oven to cook her gluten free pizza instead of heating up our large oven and waiting for it to come up to heat. We love both functions but if you wish to use it for convection only cooking, you may do so. :-)

I have a booklet that came with mine. IT tell you how long to cook a roast by lb weight, or a frozen pizza. I guess you could go to a book store and buy a convection cook book. I am pretty sure sears has a booklet with the oven. So don't worry about that. Kenmore Elite is a very good name brand, i bought one made from China and it did not last a year. I have had mine for many year. I love it.
