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
are evenly cooked and browned—often in less
time with convection heat.
1-Rack Convection Baking
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food
using the bake and broil elements.
When convection baking with only 1 rack,
use CONVECTION BAKE 1 RACK and for best
results place the rack on shelf 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.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
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.
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.
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.
Ideal for cooking large casseroles and
lasagna with good results.
To cook food on more than one rack in
convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI.
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.

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.
