Touch the CONVECTION BAKE
MULTI/1 RACK pad once
(CONVECTION BAKE MULTI mode)
for multi-rack convection baking.
This mode is used for cooking food
items on more than one rack (i.e., 2,
3 or more racks) at the same time in
convection bake. See Multi-Rack
Baking section for more
information.
Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/
1 RACK pad twice (CONVECTION BAKE
1 RACK mode) for one rack
convection baking. This mode is used
for cooking food items on only one
rack in convection bake.
NOTE: On some models, there is only
a
CONVECTION BAKE
pad which
works for both one-rack and multi-
rack convection baking.
Touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad
for convection roasting.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired oven temperature.
Touch the START pad.
To change the oven temperature, touch
the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/1 RACK,
CONVECTION BAKE (depending on
model) or CONVECTION ROAST pad and
then the number pads to set the new
temperature.
When the oven starts to heat, the
changing temperature, starting at 100°F,
will be displayed. When oven reaches the
temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.
Touch CLEAR/OFF pad when
finished.
■ You will hear a fan while cooking with
convection. The fan will stop when the door is
opened, but the heat will not turn off.
■ You may hear the oven clicking during
baking. This is normal.
Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven,
check to see if your cookware leaves
room for air circulation in the oven.
If you are baking with several pans, leave
space between them. Also, be sure the
pans do not touch each other or the
walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended for
use in regular ovens can be used in
convection ovens. Plastic cookware that
is heat-resistant to temperatures of
400°F can also be used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
■ Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
■ Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.

OR
Convection Roast
■ Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated
air evenly over and around the food.
Meat and poultry are browned on all
sides as if they were cooked on a
rotisserie. Using the roasting rack
provided, heated air will be circulated
over, under and around the food being
roasted. The heated air seals in juices
quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich
golden brown exterior.
When you are convection roasting it is
important that you use the broiler pan
and grid and the special roasting rack for
best convection roasting results. The pan
is used to catch grease spills and the grid
is used to prevent grease spatters, while
the rack allows the heated air to circulate
under the meat and increase browning
on the underside of the meat or poultry.
■ Place the rack in the lowest rack
position (A).
■ Place the grid on the broiler pan
and put the roasting rack over them,
making sure the posts on the roasting
rack fit into the holes in broiler pan.
■ Place the meat on the roasting rack.

When baking cookies, you will
get the best results if you use a
flat cookie sheet instead of a
pan with low sides.
