U sing and Caring for Your Oven
make sure foil is about 1 inch (3 cm) larger
all around than the dish holding the food.
• Do not cover the entire rack with alumi-
num foil. It will reduce air circulation and
cause poor cooking results.
• Do not line oven bottom or entire oven
rack with foil or other liners. It could affect
the quality of your baking.
Convection baking tips
(convection bake pad)
• Do not use aluminum foil when convection
baking. Aluminum foil may block airflow.
• Reduce recommended recipe oven
temperature by approximately 25°F. See
recipe adaption chart in your convection
oven cookbook for recommended
temperatures.
• For most recipes, you can reduce con-
vection baking time compared to standard
baking times. See convection baking chart
in your convection oven cookbook for
recommended baking times.
NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when
you use more than one rack.
• When baking on two or three racks, use
the Convection Bake setting for more even
results. (You can, however, use only one
rack when Convection Baking.)
• To use three racks during convection
baking, place racks in position 5 (the
highest position), 3, and 1 (the closest to
the oven bottom). This allows all three
racks to be an equal distance apart for
better baking.
• Stagger cake pans or other cookware in
opposite directions on each rack when
three racks are used.

• Place the foil on the oven rack below the
rack with the food. Turn foil edges up and
Bakeware tips
• When baking with insulated cookie
sheets or baking pans, place them in the
bottom third of the oven. You may need to
increase the recommended baking times,
so test for doneness before removing from
the oven.
• When using ovenproof glassware or
dark bakeware, reduce the oven tempera-
ture by 25°F, but use the same baking
time. Because these pans absorb heat,
producing darker bottom browning and
crispier crusts, place the rack in the center
of the oven. When baking pies and bread,
you can use the temperature suggested in
the recipe.
