Convection
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over,
under and around the food.
fan
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: The convection fan may cycle on and off
and change direction while cooking to best distribute
hot air in the oven. The convection oven fan shuts
off when the oven door is opened.
1-rack
The convection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food using the
convection
bake and broil elements. Ideal for cooking
baking
large casseroles and lasagna with good results.
Multi-rack
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be baked with
convection
excellent results using multiple racks.
baking
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.
To cook food on more than one rack in
convection bake, use CONV MULTI.
Trivection
When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the
first (A) position, one in the third (C) position
and one in the 5th (E) position.
Lower Oven
When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the
second (B) position, one in the fourth (D)
position and one in the 6th (F) position.
NOTE: On double wall ovens, the rack design is
unique for the upper Trivection™ oven. Due to this,
the upper oven racks and the lower oven racks are not
interchangeable.
Auto
When convection baking, the Auto Recipe
Conversion feature automatically reduces

the set traditional baking temperature by
Conversion
the recommended 25°F. See Auto Recipe

Using the Convection Modes
Trivection
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.
When convection baking with only 1 rack, use
CONV 1 RACK and for best results place the rack
on shelf B or C in the Trivection
or D in the lower oven on double oven models, 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.
