Convection Bake

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.
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
time with convection heat.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
When convection baking with only 1 rack, follow
the rack positions recommended in the Using
the oven section.
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.
For 27 Ovens: When baking on 3 racks, place
one rack in the second (B) position, one in
the third (C) position and one in the fourth (D)
position.
For two-rack baking, place one rack in the
secind (B) rack position. Place the other rack in
the third (C) rack position.
For 30 Ovens: When baking on 3 racks, place
one rack in the second (B) position, one in
the fourth (D) position and one in the sixth (F)
position.
Adapting Recipes...
You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.

For two-rack baking, place one rack in the
second (B) rack position. Place the other rack in
the fourth (D) rack position.
NOTE: Please note that extension racks position
food higher in the oven. An extension rack
should be placed one position lower than a
flat rack would be so the food is in the same
location.
For best results when baking multiple racks of
cookies, line up the front of the cookie sheets
with the front edge of the racks.
