TIPSFORCONVECTIONandBAKE

PreheatingtheOven

not need to be preheated for large pieces of
meat or poultry. See your recipe for preheating
recommendation. Preheating time depends on
thete mperaturesettingandthenumberofracks
intheoven.

TemperatureSetting
WhenusingConvection,reducethetemperature
recommended in the recipe by 25°F/‐4°C. When
roasting meats, check internal temperature prior 
to time recommended by recipe to prevent over
cooking. When roasting meats in convect ion
mode,donotreducetemperaturesetting.
Condensation
Itisnormalforacertainamountofmoistureto
evaporatefromthefoodduringanycooking
processTheamountdependsonthemoisture
contentofthefood.Themoisturewillcondense
onanysurfacecoolerthan.theinsideofthe
oven,suchasthecontrolpanel.
RACKPOSITIONS
LargeMainOvenOneRackBaking
When baking on one rack, best results are
obtainedinthebakemode(seeBake).
Whenroastingaturkeyoralargepieceofmeat,
convectionbakemaybeused.Rack4isthemost
appropriaterack.

TwoRackBaking
Racks 4 and 2
are most appropriate when using
the convection bake mode. Round cake pans
should be staggered on racks  4 and 2.
Rectangular(9x13)cakepansandcookiesheets
shouldbeplacedonrack4directlyunder theone
onrack2.
Thismaybeusedforcakes,cookies,biscuitsand

other foods for which two rack baking is
desirable.
Whenseveralcasseroles,frozenpiesorcakesare
tobebaked,useracks4and2.
Thesetworackscanalsobeusedforalargeoven
meal.

BakewareType
Aluminiumbakewaregivesthebestbrowning

results.Aluminiumcommercialhalf‐sheetsor
professionalcookingutensilsmaybeusedbut
bakingtimesmaybeincre a sed.

Placement
Forbetterbrowning,utensilssuchascookie
sheets.Rectangularbakingpansshouldbeplaced
crosswiseontherackwiththeshortersidefacing
right
andlefttoallowbetterairflow.
Whenbakingonmorethanonerack,cookie
sheetsandrectangular(9x13)cakepansshould
notbestaggered;roundcakepansshouldbe
staggered.
