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.
To cook food on more than one rack in
convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI.
When baking on 3 racks, place one offset
rack in the third (C) position, the flat
rack in the fourth (D) position and one
offset rack in the sixth (F) position.
For two-rack baking, place one offset
rack in the second (B) rack position.
Place the flat rack in the fourth (D)
rack position.
Multi-Rack Convection Baking
Multi-rack position.
When convection baking with only 1 rack, use
CONVECTION BAKE 1 RACK and follow the
rack positions recommended in the Using the
oven section.
■ Ideal for baked foods cooked on 1 rack.
1-Rack Convection Baking
The convection oven comes with two
convection baking modes started by
touching the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/
1 RACK pad once or twice, depending
on your cooking need:
MULTI—for convection cooking on more
than one rack. Touch the CONVECTION
BAKE MULTI/1 RACK pad once. See the
Multi-Rack Convection Baking section below.
1 RACK—for convection cooking on one
rack only. Touch the CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI/1 RACK pad twice. See the 1-Rack
Convection Baking section below.
Introduction
Convection Fan Operation
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.
NOTE: To maximize cooking evenness,
the fan is designed to rotate in both
directions, with a pause in between.
This is normal.
The convection 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.

Conversion feature automatically
reduces the set regular baking temperature
by the recommended 25°F. See Auto

■ Use pan size recommended.
■ 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.
