When convection baking with only
1 shelf, follow the shelf positions
recommended in the Using the
Oven section.

Multi-Shelf Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be baked
with excellent results using multiple shelves.
Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times
slightly for some foods but the overall result
is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits, and
other quick breads give very good results
with multi-shelf baking.
When baking larger foods on 3 shelves,
place one shelf in the 2nd (A) position,
one on the 4th (C) position and the third
shelf in the 6th (E) position.
When baking cookies, place the shelves in
the 4th (C), 5th (D), and 6th (E) positions.
How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Touch the
CONVECTION BAKE
or
CONVECTION ROAST
pad.
Touch the number pads to set
the desired oven temperature.
Remember to adjust baking
temperature accordingly. See the
Adapting Recipes
section.
Touch the
START
pad.
To change the oven temperature, touch the
CONVECTION BAKE
or
CONVECTION ROAST
pad and then the number pads to set the
new temperature.
When the oven starts to heat the changing
temperature, starting at 100°F, will be
displayed. When the oven reaches the
temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.
Touch the
CLEAR/OFF
pad when
finished.
NOTE:
You will hear a fan while cooking with
convection. The fan will stop when the door is
opened but the heat will not turn off.
The fan will not start until the preheat temperature
is reached.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking
with several pans, leave space between
them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch
each other or the walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers
that are recommended for use in regular
ovens can be used in convection ovens.
Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to
temperatures of 400°F can also be used,
when oven is below 400°F.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans heat
the fastest and are recommended for
convection baking.
■
Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake faster
than shiny pans.
■
Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies, you will get the best
results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead
of a pan with low sides.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a
pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate
well around food in a pan with high sides.
