Convection Fan
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.
1-Rack Convection Baking
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food
using the bake and broil elements.
When convection baking with only 1 rack, use
CONVECTION BAKE 1 RACK; for best results,
place the rack on shelf C or D at the center of the
oven. Cook times may decrease, so food should
be checked earlier than package directions to
make sure that it does not overcook.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple racks.
The amount of time required for
multi-rack baking may increase slightly
for some foods, but overall time is saved
because two to three times as much food
is cooked at once. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits and other quick breads give
good results with multi-rack baking.

You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.
When baking, reduce baking
temperature by 25°F.
NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on
and off while cooking to best distribute
hot air in the oven.
The convection oven 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.
Ideal for cooking large casseroles and
lasagna with good results.
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 (B) position, one
in the fourth (D) position and one in
the 6th (F) position.

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.
