Bakeware Type
• Metal bakeware (with or without a non-stick finish),
heat-proof glass, glass-ceramic, pottery, or other
utensils are suitable for the oven.
• Suitable cookie sheets have a small lip on one side
only. Heavy sheets or those with more than one side
may affect the baking time.
Bake Rack Positions
• Rack level positions in the oven are numbered like an
elevator. Number one level is the lowest and number
five level is at the top.
Large Main Oven
One Rack Baking
• The Bake mode is best for baking on one rack with
rack level #3 used for most baked items. If the item is
tall, such as an angel food cake, rack level #2 may be
used. Pies are best baked on rack level #2 to make
certain the bottom of the crust is done without over
browning the top. When large pieces of meat or poultry
are roasted, such as a prime rib of beef or a turkey,
rack level #2 is the preferred rack.
Two Rack Baking
• Rack levels #2 and #4 may be used when baking on
two levels. Foods such as cookies and biscuits work
well using these two racks. Casserole dishes may also
be baked using these two levels.
Three Rack Baking
• If three-rack baking is desired, the Convection Bake
mode should be used.
Secondary Oven (48" Models)
• Baking on rack #3 will result in the best product. When
additional height is needed, rack #2 may be used. The
use of rack #2 with pies will result in a crisp bottom
crust without over baking the top.
• If two rack baking is desired in this small oven, use
racks #2 and #5. For best results, stagger baking pans
front to rear with the pan on rack #2 toward the rear
and the pan on rack #5 toward the front.
Bakeware Placement
• Allow at least 1" of space between the pans and the
oven walls so heat can circulate around each pan.
• Stagger bakeware so that one is not directly above
another. Allow 1-1/2” above and below each pan.
Convection
Cooking with Convection
There are many advantages to cooking with convection. In
the convection system, a fan in the back of the oven moves
heated air evenly around the oven. The moving air provides
even heat so foods can be placed on any rack level with
consistent results. Multiple racks of foods can be cooked or
large quantities of foods can be cooked at the same time.
Foods will cook thoroughly without having to rotate pans.
Low, shallow bakeware should be used with convection
cooking. This allows the heated air to circulate around the
food. Pans with high sides or pans that are covered are not
suitable for convection cooking because high sides or lids
prohibit the warm air from circulating around the food.
Your favorite pans and cookware can be used for
convection cooking provided they have low sides to allow
the heated air to circulate around the food. Any food
cooked uncovered will brown evenly and form a nice crust.
Foods in covered dishes (casseroles, pot roast) or delicate
custards do not benefit from convection cooking.
Convection Baking
Time can be saved by baking an entire batch of cookies at
the same time. The cookies will bake evenly and be done
all at once. The baking time may be shorter due to the
warm circulating air. For small items such as cookies,
check to see if they are done one to two minutes before the
recipe time. For larger baked items such as cakes, check
five to six minutes before the time indicated on the recipe.
Convection cooking of meat and poultry will result in foods
that are brown and crispy on the outside and moist and
