Solving Baking And Roasting Problems - Panasonic HL-BD82S Operating Instructions Manual

With either Bake or Convection Bake and Convection Roast poor results can occur for many reasons other
than a malfunction of the oven. Check the chart below for causes of the most common problems. Since the
size, shape and material of baking utensils directly affect the baking results, the best solution may be to
replace old baking utensils that have darkened and warped with age and use. Check the Baking Charts from
Page 18 to 20 or Convection Roast Chart on Page 23 for the correct rack position and baking time.
