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 and 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.
To cook food on more than one rack in
convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI.
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 6th (F) position.

Adapting Recipes...

You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.
When convection baking, the
Auto Recipe ™ Conversion feature
automatically reduces the set regular
baking temperature by the recommended
25°F. See Using Auto Recipe ™
Special Features section.
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.
27" Ovens
When baking on 3 racks, divide the oven
into thirds by placing the offset rack in
the third (C) rack position and the
straight racks in first (A) and fourth (D)
rack positions.
For two-rack baking, place the offset rack
in the bottom (A) rack position. Place
the straight rack in the third (C) rack
position.
CAUTION: When you are using the offset rack
(on 27" models) in the lowest position (A), you
will need to use caution when pulling the rack
out. We recommend that you pull the rack out
several inches and then, using two pot holders,
pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The
offset rack is low and you could be burned if you
place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull
all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your
hand on the door when using a rack in the lowest
position (A).

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.
