Convection Cooking of Frozen
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.
