How to use Convection
When baking:
1.For optimum cooking results it is recommended to preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.
2.Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended cooktime.
3.When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in positions 2 & 5 for best results.
Layer cakes will have better results using the “BAKE” pad.
When roasting
1.Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using Convection.
2.Since Convection cooks food faster, reduce the cooktime by 25% from the recommended cook time of your recipe. Check the food at this time. If necessary, increase cooktime until the desired doneness is obtained.
3.Do not cover foods when roasting - this will prevent the meat from browning properly.
4.Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
Note:
When using Convection, cook time reductions may vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.
Setting Convection
The oven can be programmed to Convection at any temperature from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 287°C). The factory preset automatic bake temperature is 350°F (177°C).

Cookware material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan bottom. The most popular materials available are:
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans slide across the ceramic cooktop, they may leave metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove these marks immediately.
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum).
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
Glass - Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the glass.
