Using the Convection Modes

Trivection™ Wall Oven

Convection fan

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food.

This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time with convection heat.

NOTE: The convection fan may cycle on and off and change direction while cooking to best distribute hot air in the oven. The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.

DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

1-rack convection baking

The convection fan circulates the heated air	When convection baking with only 1 rack, use
evenly over and around the food using the	CONV 1 RACK and for best results place the rack
bake and broil elements. Ideal for cooking	on shelf B or C in the Trivection™ Oven, or shelf C
large casseroles and lasagna with good results.	or D in the lower oven on double oven models, at the
	center of the oven. Cook times may decrease, so food
	should be checked earlier than package directions to
	make sure that it does not overcook.

Multi-rack convection baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple racks.

The amount of time required for multi-rack baking may increase slightly for some foods, but overall time is saved because two to three times as much food is cooked at once. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quick breads give good results with multi-rack baking.

To cook food on more than one rack in convection bake, use CONV MULTI.

Trivection™ Oven

When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the first (A) position, one in the third (C) position and one in the 5th (E) position.

Lower Oven

When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the second (B) position, one in the fourth (D) position and one in the 6th (F) position.

NOTE: On double wall ovens, the rack design is unique for the upper Trivection™ oven. Due to this, the upper oven racks and the lower oven racks are not interchangeable.
