3.Load the oven as quickly as is safely possible. This will prevent heat loss due to the open door. Check foods using the oven lights and through the window.
4.Remove each pan as soon as food is done. All pans do not need to be removed from the oven at the same time.
5.When baking on two racks, use positions 2 and 4; 1 and 3 or 1 and 4. Use rack positions 1,3, and 5 when baking on three racks.

7.Always follow the “Bake Ware Selection” tips in this guide.
8.When baking cookies, the cookies need to stay refrigerated before baking to get the best results. Otherwise, the butter will melt out of the cookies, resulting in flat, chewy cookies.
9.When mixing cookies, the butter and egg need to be at room temperature in order to achieve proper creaming with the sugar. Otherwise, you will not get a proper rise out of the cookie. After mixing the dough, scoop into 1” balls, then refrigerate the dough to get the best results.

Tips for Baking a Multiple Rack Meal:
1.Always use Pure Convection™ when baking an entire meal at a time.
2.Adjust oven racks to accommodate the multiple dishes before preheating the oven.
3.Make sure that the convection filter in the back of the oven is clean. Follow instructions in the Use and Care Manual for cleaning. The filter will help prevent flavors from transferring from one dish to the other.
4.When selecting a temperature, choose the most delicate item and use that temperature (from the original recipes, you would still lower the temperature by 25°. For instance, if you are baking a roast, a loaf of bread, and roasted vegetables, choose the bread temperature. The vegetables and roast can withstand a lower or higher temperature and still achieve good results.
5.Place protein or meat items on the lowest rack position. This is to insure that no juices drip into the other dishes.
6.Use the minute timers to tell you when to put the next dish in the oven. For instance, place the roast in the oven and set timer 1 for 1 hour. At 1 hour, place the roasted vegetables in the oven and set the timer again for 30 minutes. At 30 minutes, place the bread in the oven. The entire dinner will come out of the oven at the end of this timer.
