Using and Caring for Your Oven
• When baking on two or three racks, use
the Convection Bake setting for more even
results. (You can, however, use only one
rack when Convection Baking.)
• To use three racks during convection
baking, place one straight rack in
position 4 (the highest position), the
other straight rack in position 1 (the closest
to the oven bottom), and the offset rack in
position 2. This allows all three racks to be
an equal distance apart for better baking.
• Stagger cake pans or other utensils in
opposite directions on each rack when
three racks are used.
Roasting tips
• Spatter can be reduced by lining the
bottom of the roasting pan with lightly
crushed aluminum foil.
• Use an accurate meat thermometer or
temperature probe (see page 23) to
determine when meat has reached desired
degree of doneness. Insert the thermom-
eter or probe into the center of the thickest
portion of the meat or inner thigh or breast
of poultry. For an accurate reading, the tip
of the thermometer or probe should not
touch fat, bone or gristle.
• After reading the thermometer once,
push it further into the moat V2inch or
more and read again. If the temperature
drops, return the meat to the oven for more
cooking.
• Check pork and poultry with a thermom-
eter in 2-3 places to ensure adequate
doneness.
Poultry and roasts will be easier to
carve if loosely covered with foil and
allowed to stand 10-15 minutes after
removal from the oven.
You can reduce roasting times and
temperatures for most standard recipes
when using the Convection Roast setting.
See recipe adaption chart or convection
roasting chart in the Convection Oven
Cook Book for recommended roasting
times and temperatures.
=1€3:
• Use the convection roasting rack on the
broiler pan (both included with your range).
(The convection roasting rack rests on the
broiler pan, not inside it.) The long side of
the rack should be parallel with the oven
door for best heat distribution and airflow.
