Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking with
several pans, leave space between them.
Also, be sure the pans do not touch each
other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers
that are recommended for use in regular
ovens can be used in convection ovens.
Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to
temperatures of 400°F can also be used,
when oven is below 400°F.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans heat
the fastest and are recommended for
convection baking.
■Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
■Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
When baking cookies, you will get the best
results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead
of a pan with low sides.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a
pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate
well around food in a pan with high sides.
How to Set the Upper Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting
Touch the Convection Bake
or Convection Roast pad.
Touch the number pads to set the
desired oven temperature.
Touch the Startpad.
To change the oven temperature, touch the
Convection Bake or Convection Roast pad
and then the number pads to set the new
temperature.
When the oven starts to heat, the changing
temperature, starting at 100°F, will be
displayed. When the oven reaches the
temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.
Touch the Clear/Offpad when finished.
NOTE: You will hear a fan while cooking with
convection. The fan will stop when the door is
opened, but the heat will not turn off.
The fan will not start until the preheat
temperature is reached.
or
Multi-Shelf Baking
The number of shelves provided depends
on your model.
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be baked
with excellent results using multiple shelves.
Multi-shelf baking may increase cook times
slightly for some foods but the overall result
is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and
other quick breads give very good results
with multi-shelf baking.
When baking larger foods on 3 shelves, place
one shelf in the 2nd (A) position, one on the
4th (C) position and the third shelf in the 6th (E)
position.
When baking cookies, place the shelves in the
4th (C), 5th (D), and 6th (E) positions.
When convection baking with only
1 shelf, follow the shelf positions
recommended in the Using the
Oven section.
