Convection baking can be used for baking up to 2 racks of layer cakes and up to 4 racks of food such as cookies. If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed.
When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods, be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures. Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space between the cookware and the sides of the oven.
During convection baking preheat, the convection, bake and broil elements all heat the oven cavity while the fan circulates the hot air. After preheat, the convection, bake and broil elements and the fans will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature.
