Convection Baking
Ideal for evenly browned baked foods
cooked on multiple shelves.

brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet
rolls, angel food cake and bread. The
convection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food.

The convection fan is programmed to run
intermittently for maximum performance
during convection bake and during
preheating. If the fan is on when the oven
door is opened, the fun will stop. The fan will
resume operation when the door is closed.

Temp Conversion feature automatically
reduces the set temperature for optimal
performance.

Cookwure for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking with
several pans, leave space between them.
Also, be sure the pans do not touch each
other or the walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers
that are recommended for
use in regular baking can also be used
for convection baking but should not be
used at temperatures higher than the
temperature recommended by the cookware
manufacturer. Plastic cookware that is heat-
resistant to temperatures of 400°F can also
be used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven; however, metal pans heat
the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
. Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
. Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with high
sides.
