With convection baking, the key is the airflow. Avoid
using baking dishes with high sides. For example, even
when baking cookies, try to use a cookie sheet with no
sides. For roasting meats use shallow baking trays as
opposed to large, high-sided roasting pans. For the same
reason you'll want to avoid cooking anything with a lid
when you use the convection feature as the lid blocks the
airflow.
• Set the Function knob to Convection Bake.
• Set the Temperature knob to the desired level.
• Set the Timer, if desired. If the baking time is less
than 20 minutes, first turn the timer clockwise
past the 20-minute mark and turn it back to the
desired time.
If a longer baking time is required, turn the timer
directly to the desired time. If not using the timer
set timer to OVEN ON position.
• If required to catch drips, place the baking tray one
level below the wire rack. The tray and the rack
should be set at different levels for satisfactory air
convection.
• When you are using the baking tray, in particular
in position 1 (bottom rack position), make sure the
tray is centered so that you have an air passage-
way in the back as well as the front of the oven.
• Always use a potholder or oven mitt when removing
hot food from the oven.
• See Reference Charts on pages 23–25 for
recommended times and oven temperatures.
• Please note that the heating elements work in con-
junction with the convection fan. They will cycle on
and off simultaneously.
Rotisserie
When using the rotisserie function always use the bak-
ing tray lined with foil in position 1 (bottom rack position)
