OVEN USE
If you are using two racks simultaneously, be sure to check the food on the bottom rack sooner than the minimum time. The food on the lower rack position may cook slightly faster than the food on the upper rack, particularly if you are using large baking utensils. If you are using two racks simultaneously, be sure to stagger the baking utensils so that one is not directly above the other and the heated air can circulate freely around each pan. Allow at least 1”of space between the oven walls and the pans.
If using large or commercial size baking utensils, the food may take a few extra minutes as the air cannot circulate as freely as it does with a smaller pan. When using commercial size baking utensils, use only one rack as the heat does not have the room to circulate.
To Get the Best Results
Baking:
Follow the recipe amounts and ingredients, including the size and shape of the baking utensil recommended in the recipe.
Do not open the oven door “just to peek”, use the interior oven light and look through the window.
Do not use the oven for storage, especially when baking in the oven. Extra utensils, not being used for baking, can affect the food product, baking time, browning, and end result.
If you are using glass utensils, lower the temperature 25ºF.
Use a minute timer and set it for the minimum time suggested in the recipe.
Convection Baking:
Follow the first three recommendations above.
Metal utensils give better results, in convection, than do glass baking utensils. If you use glass, it usually is not necessary to lower the temperature an additional 25ºF.
Use a minute timer and set it for less than the minimum time suggested in the recipe. The first time you use a recipe in the convection mode, be sure to note the new baking time on your recipe for future reference.
Be sure to read the basic information on convection before using the oven for the first time, page
Keep in mind that convection baking results vary, depending on type of product. In many cases standard bake yields superior results over convection.
USING CONVECTION BROIL AND BROIL
To Set the Oven for Convection Broil and Broil
CAUTION:
Pay special attention when setting the Oven Control knob on “BROIL”. If you set the knob past the “BROIL” setting, the burner will not ignite.
