When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods, be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures. Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space between the cookware and the sides of the oven.
During convection baking preheat, the convection (depending on the model), bake and broil elements all heat the oven cavity while the fan (depending on model) circulates the hot air. After preheat, the convection element (depending on the model), bake element, broil element and fan (depending on model) will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking, the fan turns off immediately and turns on immediately when the door is closed. Convection, Bake and Broil elements will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the door is opened. They will turn on again approximately 30 seconds after the door is closed.
■Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C).
