Using The Convection Oven - GE PB970BMBB Owner's Manual

Using the convection oven.

Multi-rack position.
(on some models)
Convection Fan Operation
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.
Introduction
The convection oven comes with two
convection baking modes: Convection
Bake Multi and Convection Bake 1 Rack:
MULTI— for convection cooking on more
than one rack. Touch the CONVECTION
BAKE MULTI/1 RACK pad and then the 2
pad. See the Multi-Rack Convection Baking
section below.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple racks.
Multi-rack baking may increase cook
times slightly for some foods but the
overall result is time saved. Cookies,
muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads
give very good results with multi-rack
baking.
1-Rack Convection Baking
When convection baking with only 1 rack, use
CONVECTION BAKE 1 RACK and follow the
rack positions recommended in the Using the
oven section.
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: To maximize cooking evenness,
the fan is designed to rotate in both
directions, with a pause in between.
This is normal.
The convection 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.
1 RACK— for convection cooking on one
rack only. Touch the CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI/1 RACK and then the 1 pad. See the
1-Rack Convection Baking section below.
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 (A) position, another
rack in the fourth (C) position and the
third rack in the sixth (E) position.
For two-rack baking, place one rack in the
second (B) rack position. Place the other
rack in the fifth (E) rack position.

Ideal for baked foods cooked on 1 rack.

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.
