Adapting Recipes For Convection Baking
As a general rule, reduce the temperature by 25°F. for
convection baking. For more specific instructions,
follow the guidelines in the Convection Cookbook.
Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake
time of over 15 minutes.

Multi-Shelf Baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the
oven, foods can be baked with excellent results on
2 or 3 shelves at a time. Multi-shelf 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-shelf baking.
When baking on
3 shelves, divide the
oven into thirds by
placing the offset shelf
in the third (C) shelf
position and straight
shelves in first (A)
and fourth (D) shelf
position.
How to Set Your Oven for Convection Baking

control. Pads on the left side of the panel are for
the upper oven. Pads on the right side of the panel
are for the lower oven. The TIMER ON/OFF,

CAUTION: When you are using the offset shelf in
the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution
when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you
pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two
pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding the sides of
it. The offset shelf is low and you could be burned if
you place your hand in the middle of the shelf and
pull all the way out.
