Adapting Recipes…
You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.
When convection baking, reduce baking
temperature by 25°F or activate the Auto
Recipe ™ Conversion feature. See Auto Recipe ™
Conversion in the Special features of your oven
control section.
„ Use pan size recommended.
„ Some package instructions for frozen
casseroles or main dishes have been
developed using commercial convection
ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat
the oven and use the temperature on the
package.
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be baked with
excellent results using multiple racks.
The amount of time required for multi-rack
baking may increase slightly for some foods,
but overall time is saved because two to three
times as much food is cooked at once. Cookies,
muffins, biscuits and other quick breads give
good results with multi-rack baking.
To cook food on more than one rack in
convection bake, use Convection Bake Multi –
Press pad once.
When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the
second (B) position, one in the fourth (D) position
and one in the sixth (F) position.
For two-rack baking, place one rack in the third
(C) rack position. Place the other rack in the fifth
(E) rack position.
Please note that extension racks position food
higher in the oven. An extension rack should
be placed one position lower than a flat rack
would be so the food is in the same location.
For best results when baking multiple racks of
cookies in Multi-Rack Convection Bake mode,
line up the front of the cookie sheets with the
front edge of the racks.
Convection Fan
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air
over, under and around the food.
This circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods

time with convection heat.
NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on and off
while cooking to best distribute hot air in the
oven.
The convection oven fan shuts off when the
oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door
open for long periods of time while using
convection cooking or you may shorten the life
of the convection heating element.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
Multi-rack position.
Cookie sheets lined up at the front
edge of the oven racks
The convection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around food using the bake
and broil elements.
When convection baking with only 1 rack, use
Convection Bake 1 Rack – Press pad twice; for
best results, place the rack on rack C or D at the
center of the oven. Cook times may decrease,
so food should be checked earlier than package
directions to make sure that it does not overcook.
Ideal for cooking large casseroles and lasagna
with good results.
