Baking Guide
For best results preheat the oven for standard conventional or convection cooking. Convection
mode may cook faster and in some cases the temperature may be lowered by 25°F /15 °C.
Foods that require surface browning are greatly enhanced by convection cooking. Bake cookies
on baking sheets provided for convection mode so that the air can circulate properly.
RACK POSITIONS: Many items such as cookies, muffins, cakes, breads etc. can be cooked
on multiple racks at one time. Generally rack positions 1, 2 and 3 are used for cookies, etc.
while cakes use rack positions 1 and 3. When baking cakes or casseroles on multiple racks,
stagger the positions of pans in opposite corners of oven so they are not directly one over the
other and leave about 1”/2.5 cm between pans and sides of oven.
Multiple pans may take slightly longer to cook. Deep, dense moist quick breads (carrot or
zucchini) may be best cooked in standard mode, so experiment and keep records of preferred
rack positions, temperatures and times.
