temperature when setting the mode. The control calculates the correct temperature and it is shown in the display.

The Auto Convection Conversion feature can be turned on to allow for automatic temperature adjustments. See “Auto Convection Conversion” in the “Settings” section for details

Convection Bake

Convection Bake is similar to Bake.

2Heat comes from the upper and lower heating elements. The main difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.

The Convection Bake mode is well suited for cakes, bar cookies and breads to take advantage of the bottom heat, yielding a better crust on baked items.

The benefits of Convection Bake include:

--Slight decrease in cook time.

--Higher volume (yeast items rise higher).

Tips

Place food in shallow, uncovered pans such as cookie sheet without sides.

For cakes use rack positions 2 and 5.

If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1” to 1 1/2” of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other (see graphic below). Use these rack positions.

Convection Multi-Rack

Multi-Rackmode cooks with heat

:from a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.

The Convection Multi-rack mode is well suited for cooking individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits. It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the same time. Baking cookies is possible on 6 racks simultaneously. In this case, the baking time increases slightly.

The benefits of Multi-Rack include:

--Even browning.

--Time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one time.

Tips

Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F if Auto Convection Conversion is not activated.

Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie sheets without sides.

If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1” to 1 1/2” of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other.

Pizza

In the Pizza mode, heat from the

2upper and lower elements is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.

Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.

Tips

When baking a frozen pizza:

For a crispy crust, place pizza directly on the rack. For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.

When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil and cover it in a bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent crust formation.

Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.

If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally with cornmeal for ease in transferring the dough to the pan.

If par-baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough with a fork before baking.

If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer crust.
