Using the Oven
Rack Positions
Each oven is equipped with two standard
All ovens have five rack positions. Position 5 is the farthest from the oven bottom. Position 1 is the closest to the oven bottom. The racks can be easily removed and arranged at various levels. For best results with conventional baking, do not use more than one rack at a time.
It is also recommended, when using two racks, to bake with the racks in positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.
1.Arrange the oven racks in the desired positions BEFORE heating the oven. If cooking on two racks at the same time, use rack positions 2 and 4 or positions 3 and 5.
2.Turn the Oven Function selector to desired function. Cooking starts immediately and stops when the Oven Function selector is turned to “OFF”.
3.Set the Temperature Control to the desired temperature.
4.Place the food in the oven after the oven indicator light goes out.

Conventional and Convection Cooking
Because of variations in food density, surface texture and consistency, some foods may be prepared more successfully using the conventional bake setting. For this reason, conventional baking is recommended when preparing baked goods such as custard. The user may find other foods that are also prepared more consistently in conventional bake. This is perfectly normal. Convection cooking is a cooking technique which utilizes fan forced air to circulate heat throughout the entire oven creating the optimum cooking environment. Cooking with convection is intended when performing
•As a general rule, to convert conventional recipes to convection recipes, reduce the temperature by 25°F
•Cooking times for standard baking and convection baking will be the same. However, if using convection to cook a single item or smaller load, then it is possible to have
•If cooking items which require longer than 45 minutes, then it is possible to see a
•A major benefit of convection cooking is the ability to prepare foods in quantity. The uniform air circulation makes this possible. Foods that can be prepared on two of three racks at the same time include: pizza, cakes, cookies, biscuits, muffins, rolls, and frozen convenience foods.
•For
•Items cooked in a convection function can be easily
•Some recipes, especially those that are homemade, may require adjustment and testing when converting from standard to convection modes. If unsure how to convert a recipe, begin by preparing the recipe in conventional bake. After achieving acceptable results, follow the convection guidelines listed for the similar food type. If the food is not prepared to your satisfaction during this first convection trial, adjust only one recipe variable at a time (cooking time, rack position, or temperature) and repeat the convection test. Continue adjusting one recipe variable at a time until satisfactory results are achieved.
