recommended in the recipe. Use the following chart as a guide.
Convection Roasting Rack
(on some models)
The convection roasting rack is a specially designed rack, ideal
for use when roasting and broiling meats using any of the
convection cooking functions. Place it in the broiler pan instead
of the regular grid. It raises the meat for better airflow to all sides
for more even roasting and broiling.
Oven Vents
1. Oven vent coil element cooktop models
1. Oven door vent
1. Oven vent free-standing ranges
1. Oven vent slide-in ranges
The oven vents should not be blocked or covered since they
allow the release of hot air and moisture from the oven. Doing so
will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Never set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vents. Some condensation may occur,
however this will not affect cooking performance.

that no bakeware piece is directly over
another.
