CONVECTION BAKING
CONVECTION BAKING
Convection baking allows you to cook foods the same
way as a conventional oven, using an element to heat the
air inside the oven. Any oven temperature from 250°F to
450°F may be set.
A fan gently circulates heated air throughout the oven,
over and around the food. Because the heated air is kept
constantly moving, some foods cook slightly faster than in
regular oven cooking.
Before you begin, make sure the metal rack is in place.
Both racks may be used for two level cooking.

COOKING TIPS FOR CONVECTION BAKING
Metal pans are recommended for all types of baked
products, but especially where browning is important.
Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and
pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper
crust.

Put food directly on the metal tray or in the
appropriate dish and place on wire oven rack
when baking or warming.
If the oven door is opened during cooking, "Pause" will
appear in the display. Close the door and press START/
PAUSE pad.
Cook times are shown in hours and minutes and can be
set to a maximum of 2 hours 59 minutes. Time can be
changed during cooking by turning the dial.

Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or
muffins because they reflect heat and help produce a
light tender crust.
Glass or glass-ceramic casserole or baking dishes
are best suited for egg and cheese recipes due to the
cleanability of glass.
When baking on one level, use the lower level. The top
clips are to only be used in two level baking.
