■ Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with
lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food.
■ Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to
determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the
temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 places.
Convect Bake
(on some models)
The convection element is hidden in the rear panel of the oven
cavity, and, assisted by the convection fan, provides balanced,
efficient heating.
Convection baking can be used for baking up to 2 racks of cakes
and up to 3 racks of food such as cookies. If the oven is full, extra
cooking time may be needed.
When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods,
be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures.
Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space
between the cookware and the sides of the oven.
During convection baking preheat, the convection (depending on
the model), bake and broil elements all heat the oven cavity while
the fan (depending on model) circulates the hot air. After preheat,
the convection element (depending on the model), bake element,
broil element and fan (depending on model) will cycle on and off
in intervals to maintain oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking, the fan
turns off immediately and turns on immediately when the door is
closed. Convection, Bake and Broil elements will turn off
approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn
on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.
■ Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C).
