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.
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.
COMBINATION
BAKING
Glass or Glass-Ceramic
baking containers are recommended.
Be sure not to use items with metal
trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven shelf. This can damage the cookware,
the shelf or the oven.
Heat-Resistant
Plastic microwave cookware (safe to 450°F) may be used, but it is not
recommended for foods requiring all-around browning, because the plastic is a poor conductor
of heat.

Correct shelf position
• In Microwave mode, the food should always be cooked on the glass turntable tray. Microwave
mode should not be used with the metal shelf in the oven.
• The metal shelf should always be used when cooking in Convection and Combination modes so
that heated air will brown the bottom of the food. The glass turntable can be left in place in
Convection and Combination modes.
• For best cooking performance in Convection and Combination modes, leave at least a one inch
gap between the cooking dish and the sides of the oven.
• For best baking performance, always place the shelf in the "low" position.
• Placing the shelf in the "high" position will cause the top of the food to brown/cook much faster
than the interior and bottom of the food.
