Convection baking tips

• Do not use aluminum foil when convection
baking. Aluminum foil may block airflow.
• Reduce recommended recipe oven
temperature by approximately 25°F
(16°C). Use EASY CONVECT™
CONVERSION (see the "Using EASY
CONVECT CONVERSION" section).
• For some recipes, you can reduce con-
vection baking time compared to standard
baking times. Use EASY CONVECT™
CONVERSION.
NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when
you use more than one rack.

• When baking on two or three racks, use
the CONVECTION BAKE setting for more
even results. (You can also use only one
rack when convection baking.)
• To use three racks during convection
baking, place one rack in position 5 (the
highest position), another rack in position
1 (the closest to the oven bottom), and the
third rack in position 3. This allows all
three racks to be an equal distance apart
for better baking.
• Stagger cake pans or other cookware in
opposite directions on each rack when
three racks are used. This will make sure
pans are not directly over each other.
