Tips for convection baking:
Convection bake rack positions:
•
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits and breads.
•
The convection fan will begin to operate after the oven has
heated for six minutes.
•
When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
•
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place racks in positions 2 and 4
•
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware
for proper air circulation.

•
Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides
or very low side to allow heated air to circulate around the
food.
•
If the oven door is opened when the convection function is
active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven
door is closed.
•
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware
resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to
prevent over browning of some foods. Dark pans are
recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for
cakes, cookies and muffins.

18).
Setting Convec Roast
The Convec Roast function combines a cook cycle with the
convection fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked using
the Convec Roast function will be juicier and poultry will be
crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside.
Convec Roast may be set for any oven temperature between
300°F (148°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Suggestions for Convec Roast:
•
Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
Convec Roast. Since Convec Roast cooks food faster, reduce
the cook time by 25% from the recommended cook time of
your recipe. If necessary, increase cooking time until the
desired doneness is obtained.
•
The broiler pan will catch grease drippings, and the grid
will help prevent splatters. The roasting rack will hold the
meat. Use the offset rack on rack position 1.
•
Do not cover foods when dry roasting as this will prevent
the meat from browning properly.
To set Convec Roast with a default oven set temperature of
350°F (176°C):
1.
Press Convec Roast.
2. Press
.
To cancel Convec Roast at any time press
Important note:
•
The convection fan will begin rotating six minutes after
Convec Bake, Convec Roast or Convec Convert has been
activated.
•
If the oven door is opened when any convection function is
active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven
door is closed.
•
It is not recommended to roast chicken on a roasting rack.
Use a deep pan instead.
