How can I tell whether I have a convention or convection oven?

Every time I go to bake something, there are two ways to cook it. One explains how to cook with a convection oven, the other explains how to with a convention. I never know which one I have. How would someone figure that out?How can I tell whether I have a convention or convection oven?
Convection ovens circulate the hot air throughout the oven. You would hear low fan noise if you put your ear near it -- and it would most likely say it somewhere.





Conventional just means a regular oven, where the heat comes from a coil on the bottom.How can I tell whether I have a convention or convection oven?
In a convection oven hot air is circulated with a fan. You will hear the fan when you turn on the oven. Things cook more quickly in a convection oven because of the hot air. If you don't know what kind of oven you have, it is probably a conventional oven.
A convection oven has a fan that circulates the hot air inside.
If your oven uses light as opposed to a heating coli it is convection.... convection uses heated air to cook as opposed heating colis..
