The and pads may be used when cooking certain food items. These pads have been designed to give optimum cook performance for the foods selected in each category.

Benefits of Convection Bake:

—Multiple rack baking.

—Some foods cook faster, saving time and energy.

—No special pans or bakeware needed.

The pad combines a cook cycle with the convection fan and element to roast meats and poultry. Preheating is not necessary for meats and poultry. Heated air circulates around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Foods are crisp brown on the outside while staying moist on the inside. DO NOT cover food during convection roast.

The pad provides a preheat with a gentle cycling of heat giving cakes more volume and allowing delicate foods to cook more evenly.

The pad adds a preheat feature to the bake cycle to thoroughly heat the oven from top to bottom to give more evenly browned foods. Refer to Fig. 3 for foods to cook in each category.

Roasting Rack Instructions (if equipped)

When preparing meats for convection roasting, use broiler pan and insert along with the roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert will prevent grease splatters. The roasting rack will allow the heat to circulate around the meat.

WARNING To prevent food from contacting the broil element and to prevent grease splattering, DO NOT use the roasting rack when broiling.

1.Place oven rack on bottom or next to the bottom rack position. Heated air to circulate under the food for even cooking and helps to increase browning on the underside. Make sure the roasting rack is securely seated on the insert in the broiler pan. DO NOT use the broiler pan without the insert. DO NOT cover the insert with aluminum foil.

2.Position food (fat side up) on the roasting rack (Fig. 4).

3.Place the broiler pan on the oven rack.
