How to
Convection
Bake
■ When cooking items that go directly
onto the metal tray, do not place the
tray into the oven during preheat.
Place the food directly onto the tray,
and place the metal tray with food
onto the turntable after the oven is
finished preheating.
■ When cooking items in a dish to be
placed on the metal tray, place the
metal tray in the oven during
preheat for optimum cooking
performance.
■ For two-level baking, install the wire
rack on the 4 rack supports and a
metal tray on the turntable. Baking
dishes can be placed directly onto
the wire rack and the turntable.
■ If baking trays are required for
cooking foods like cookies or
biscuits, use the metal trays
supplied with the oven to place on
the wire rack and on the turntable
for best performance.
Cooking Tips
for Convection
Baking
Convection
Baking Convection baking allows you to cook foods the
same way as a conventional oven, using a
heating element to raise the temperature of the
air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from
250°F to 450°F may be set.
A fan gently circulates heated air throughout the
oven, over and around the food. Because the
heated air is kept constantly moving, not
permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around
the food, some foods cook slightly faster than in
regular oven cooking.
Before you begin, make sure the turntable is in
place. Use the metal tray at all times when single
or two-level baking.
CAUTION!
When baking, remember that the
oven, door and dishes will be very hot!
The turntable must always be
in place when using the oven.
Put food or oven-safe cookware
directly on the metal tray.
Put food directly on the metal tray or in the
appropriate dish and place on wire oven rack
when baking or warming on two levels.
