Using and Caring for Your Oven
When programming your own cycle:
1. Start with meat or main dish items (times
are more critical with these items).
2. Choose baked goods with bake temper-
atures similar to those of meat or main
dish items. Convection baking time of
+/-10 to 15 minutes and temperatures of
+/-25°F to 50°F (+/-4°C to +/-10°C) are
acceptable.
3. Choose vegetables and fruits last.
