Baking Tips
• Baking time and temperature will vary
depending on the characteristics, size, and
shape of the baking pan used.
• Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe
time.
• Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick
finish), heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic or
other bakeware recommended for oven use.
• Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook
food faster with more browning. Insulated
bakeware will slightly lengthen the cooking time
for most foods.
• The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel finish.
To make cleaning easier, protect the oven
bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a
cookie sheet on the rack below the rack you are
cooking on. This is particularly important when
baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid
content. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are
highly acidic may cause pitting and damage to
the porcelain-enamel surface and should be
wiped up immediately.
Convection Mode
The convection system uses a fan to circulate the
heat evenly within the oven. Improved heat
distribution allows for even cooking and excellent
results while cooking with single or multiple racks.
Setting the Convection Function
(example, 375 °F)
1
Turn the oven mode knob to select Conv.
Bake or Conv. Roast. The display flashes 350
°F.
2
Set the oven temperature: press 3, 7 and 5.
3
Press START. The display shows Conv. Bake
or Conv. Roast and the oven temperature
starting at 100 °F.
• As the oven preheats, the display shows
increasing temperatures in 5-degree
increments. Once the oven reaches the set
adjusted temperature, a tone sounds and
the oven light flashes on and off. The
display shows the auto-converted oven
temperature, 350 °F and the fan icon.
4
When cooking has finished or to cancel, turn
the oven mode knob to the OFF position.
NOTE
• The oven fan runs while convection baking. The
fan stops when the door is open. In some cases,
the fan may shut off during a convection bake
cycle.
Tips for Convection Baking
• Use Convection Bake for faster and more even
multiple-rack cooking of pastries, cookies,
muffins, biscuits, and breads of all kinds.
• Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no sides
or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate
around the food. Food baked on pans with a
dark finish will cook faster.
• When using Convection Bake, place the oven
racks in positions suggested in the charts in this
manual.
• Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase
cook times for some foods.
• Cakes, cookies and muffins have better results
when using multiple racks.
The Convection Roast feature is designed to give
optimum roasting performance. Convection Roast
combines cooking with the convection fan to roast
meats and poultry. The heated air circulates
around the food from all sides, sealing in juices
and flavors. Foods are crispy brown on the outside
while staying moist on the inside. Convection
roasting is especially good for large tender cuts of
meat, uncovered.
Tips for Convection Roasting
Use a broiler pan and grid when preparing meats
for convection roasting. The broiler pan catches
grease spills and the grid helps prevent grease
splatters.
1
Place the oven rack in the recommended
position.
2
Place the grid in the broiler pan.
3
Place the broiler pan on the oven rack.
