A: Hi Charlene-this is Sue from GE Appliances. Yes, PB980SJSS features a Traditional upper oven and a True European Convection with Precise Air lower oven. A broil element in the top of the oven and a bake element in the bottom of the oven are used in conjunction with a third heating element. This third element is located in the back wall of the oven, and it surrounds the convection fan. The convection fan reverse direction to allow air to better circulate around the food. Performance testing has shown that reversing the fan produces more evenly browned baked goods, which eliminates the need for turning food or rotating pans. Thanks for checking with us!
