FUNCTION GUIDELINES

IMPORTANT: When using smaller baking sheets, use only the
wire racks for support (see diagram, page 12). With oven racks
(concave side down) in positions 1 and 3, most quarter-size
sheets will fit snugly onto oven supports in positions 2 and 4. For
volume baking, as for larger numbers of cookies, 4 baking sheets
can fit into all 4 oven support positions. IT IS RECOMMENDED
to use baking sheets with rounded edges that are closest to the
standard quarter-size. The maximum weight capacity on a baking
sheet with no rack is 3kg. NOTE: Standard baking sheet sizes
vary. If sheets do not fit directly on the oven supports, they must
always be placed on oven racks.

Bake

Your convection oven is equipped with two wire racks and has
three rack positions (see diagram, page 12). The racks can be
easily removed and arranged at various levels. For best results
when using the oven for conventional baking, do not use more
than one rack at a time.
• Set the function knob to BAKE.
• Set the temperature knob to appropriate temperature.
• Set the timer, if desired, for up to 120 minutes. If the baking
time is less than 20 minutes, first turn the timer clockwise
past the 20-minute mark and turn it back to the desired time.
If a longer baking time is required, turn the timer directly to
the desired time.
• If not using the timer, set timer to OVEN ON ( ) position.
• Always use a potholder or oven mitt when removing hot food
from the oven.

Convection Bake

The general rule for using most regular baking recipes with
a convection oven is to reduce the temperature given in the
recipe by 5˚C. For roasting larger items such as meats or
roasts, use the same temperature as indicated, but reduce
the cooking time.
In any case, always check your baked items 10 minutes before
cooking time indicates. For larger roasted items such as meats,
start checking 20 to 40 minutes before stated cooking time
is reached.
