Convection Fan Operation
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 are
evenly cooked and browned—often in less time
with convection heat.
NOTE:
To maximize cooking evenness, the fan is
designed to rotate in both directions, with a pause
in between. This is normal.
The convection 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.
Introduction
The convection oven comes with two
convection baking modes started by
touching the
CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/
1 RACK
pad once
or
twice, depending
on your cooking need:
MULTI—
for convection cooking on more
than one rack. Touch the
CONVECTION
BAKE MULTI/1 RACK
pad
once
. See the
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
section below.
1 RACK—
for convection cooking on one
rack only. Touch the
CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI/1 RACK
pad
twice
. See the
1-Rack
Convection Baking
section below.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple racks.
Multi-rack baking may increase cook
times slightly for some foods but the
overall result is time saved. Cookies,
muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads
give very good results with multi-rack
baking.
To cook food on more than one rack in
convection bake, use
CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI
.
When baking on 3 racks, place one offset
rack in the third (C) position, the straight
rack in the fourth (D) position and one
offset rack in the sixth (F) position.
For two-rack baking, place one offset rack
in the second (B) rack position. Place
the straight rack in the fourth (D) rack
position.
1-Rack Convection Baking
When convection baking with only 1 rack, use
CONVECTION BAKE 1 RACK
and follow the
rack positions recommended in the Using the
oven section.

Ideal for baked foods cooked on 1 rack.
Adapting Recipes…
You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.
When convection baking, the Auto
Recipe
™
Conversion feature automatically
reduces the set regular baking temperature
by the recommended 25°F. See
Auto
Recipe
™
Conversion
in the
Special Features
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.
