SELECTING A COOKING MODE

M

PURE CONVECTIONTM

This mode uses the third element and convection fan only. It is best for light colored and delicate baked goods. Lower the oven tempera- ture by 25 degrees. For baking time, use the lowest stated time in the recipe and add more time if necessary. If multiple- rack baking with 3 or more racks, increase time by 5-15 minutes on average. For Roasting, use a roasting pan fitted with a v-shaped rack or a roasting pan with a flat rack.

Best for: Cakes, Tarts, Puff Pastry, Cookies, Free Form Yeast Breads, Biscuits, Muffins, Yeast Rolls, Multiple Racks Large Roasted Poultry and Roasts

CONVECTION BAKE

This mode uses bottom heat and the convection fan. Items baked in a deep ceramic dish or earthenware clay pots are best in this mode. These are foods in a deep pan that require browning on the top and bottom. Lower oven temperature by 25 degrees. Since these items require a longer cook time, time savings are on average about 25%. Set timer 15 minutes before the lowest stated time and add more time if necessary.

Best for: Quick Breads, Quiches, Custard Pies, Yeast Bread In a Loaf Pan, Double-Crusted Fruit Pies, Cheesecake, Lasagnas, Pizzas
