For baking cakes, cookies, casseroles, and more. Use the baking pan or an oven-safe dish. Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before placing food inside.

Perfect for grilling meats, fish, and vegetables. Place food on the grill rack. Position food closer to the top heating elements for direct heat. Monitor closely to prevent burning.

Utilizes a fan to circulate hot air, resulting in faster and more even baking. Ideal for roasting and baking larger items. Adjust cooking time and temperature as needed (often slightly lower temperature or shorter time than conventional bake).
- Convection Grill:
Combines grilling with convection for more even browning and faster cooking of grilled items. Useful for thicker cuts of meat or poultry.
