Using the Convection Oven
Wall Oven
Convection
fan
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over,
under and around the food.
This circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are
evenly cooked and browned—often in less time
with convection heat.
NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on and off while
cooking to best distribute hot air in the oven.
The convection fan shuts off when the oven door is
opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of
time while using convection cooking or you may shorten
the life of the convection heating element.
1-Rack
convection
baking
The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly
over and around the food using the bake and broil
elements.
When convection baking with only 1 rack, use
CONVECTION BAKE 1 RACK and for best results
place the rack on shelf C or D at the center of the
oven. Cook times may decrease, so food should be
checked earlier than package directions to make
sure that it does not overcook.
Ideal for cooking large casseroles and lasagna with
good results.
Adapting
recipes
You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.
When convection baking, reduce baking
temperature by 25°F or activate the Auto Recipe
™
Conversion feature. See the Special Features section.
Use pan size recommended.
Some package instructions for frozen casseroles
or main dishes have been developed using
commercial convection ovens. For best results
in this oven, preheat the oven and use the
temperature on the package.
Multi-rack
convection
baking
Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout
the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results
using multiple racks.
The amount of time required for multi-rack
baking may increase slightly for some foods, but
overall time is saved because two to three times as
much food is cooked at once. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits, and other quick breads give good results
with multi-rack baking.
27″ Ovens
When baking on 3 racks, divide the oven into
thirds by placing the offset rack in the third (C)
rack position and the straight racks in first (A) and
fourth (D) rack positions.
For two-rack baking, place the offset rack in the
bottom (A) rack position. Place the straight rack in
the third (C) rack position.
30″ Ovens
When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the
second (B) position, one in the fourth (D)
position and one in the 6th (F) position. For
cookies, place one rack in the third (C) position,
one in the 5th (E) position and one in the 6th (F)
position.

CAUTION:
When you are using the
offset rack (on 27″ models)
in the lowest position (A),
you will need to use
caution when pulling the
rack out. We recommend
that you pull the rack out
several inches and then,
using two pot holders, pull
the rack out by holding the
sides of it. The offset rack
is low and you could be
burned if you place your
hand in the middle of the
rack and pull all the way
out. Be very careful not to
burn your hand on the door
when using a rack in the
lowest position (A).
