To Use CONVECTION BAKE Function
1. Arrange the oven rack in the desired position before turning oven on.
2. Set the oven temperature control knob to desired temperature and
turn on the convection fan switch.
3. Close the door.
Baking Tips
• Make sure the oven racks are in the desired position before you turn
on the oven.
• DO NOT open the door frequently during baking. Look through the
door window to check doneness whenever possible. If you must open
the door, the best time is during the last quarter of the baking time.
• Bake to the shortest time suggested and check for doneness before
adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in
the center of the product should come out clean when done.
• Use the pan size and type recommended by the recipe to ensure
best results. Cakes, quick breads, muffins, and cookies should be
baked in shiny, reflective pans for light, golden crusts. Avoid the use
of old, darkened pans. Warped, dented, stainless steel and tin-coated
pans heat unevenly and will not give uniform baking results.

Pan Placement Tips
• When using large (15" x 13") flat pans or trays that cover most of the
rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce the best results.
• When baking on more than one rack, it is recommended to use the 3rd
and 5th position for more consistent even baking.
• Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several pans
are used in conventional bake. If possible, no pan should be directly
above another.
• Allow 1 to 2 inches of air space around all sides of each pan for even
air circulation.
