Convenience Foods
(select models)
•
Preheating the oven is not necessary.
•
Follow package recommendations for oven tempera-
ture, foil covering and the use of cookie sheets. Cooking
times will be similar. (See chart above right for some
exceptions.)
•
Most foods are cooked on rack position #3.
•
For multiple rack cooking with convection, use racks
#2 and 4 or #1, 3 and 5. Pizzas should be placed on
cookie sheets.

NOTES . . .
• Press the BAKE or CONVECT BAKE pad to recall
the preselected temperature during preheat.
• To change oven temperature during cooking, press the
appropriate BAKE or CONVECT BAKE pad and the
appropriate number pads for the desired oven tempera-
ture.
• If more than 30 seconds elapse between pressing a
function pad and pressing a number pad, the display
will return to the previous display.
• As a general rule, when convection baking (select
models), set the oven temperature 25
°
F lower than
the conventional recipe or prepared mix directions.
Baking time will be the same to a few minutes less
than directions. (See Baking Chart next column.)
• When convection roasting (select models), roasting
times are generally 25-30% less. (Maintain conven-
tional roasting temperatures.)
• See roasting chart in “Cooking Made Simple” booklet
for recommended roasting temperature and times, and
additional baking and convection cooking tips.
• You may find that the cooking times and temperatures
vary slightly from your old oven. This is normal. Every
oven has its own characteristics.
•
During some extended oven cooking operations, you
may hear a “popping” sound when the oven burner
cycles. This is normal.
• The convection fan (select models) turns on five
minutes after the oven comes on. This is normal.
