When baking on two or three racks, use the CONVECTION BAKE setting for more even results. (You can also use only one rack when convection baking.)

To use three racks during convection baking, place one rack in position 5 (the highest position), another rack in position 1 (the closest to the oven bottom), and the third rack in position 3. This allows all three racks to be an equal distance apart for better baking.

Stagger cake pans or other cookware in opposite directions on each rack when three racks are used. This will make sure pans are not directly over each other.

Convection baking tips

Do not use aluminum foil when convection baking. Aluminum foil may block airflow.

Reduce recommended recipe oven temperature by approximately 25°F (16°C). Use EASY CONVECT™ CONVERSION (see the “Using EASY CONVECT CONVERSION” section).

For some recipes, you can reduce con- vection baking time compared to standard baking times. Use EASY CONVECT™ CONVERSION.

NOTE: Cooking time may be longer when you use more than one rack.

1. Prepare oven.

Position the rack properly. For correct rack placement, see “Baking or convec- tion baking” earlier in this section. Place food in the oven. For large roasts and turkeys, place rack in position 1 or 2. (Preheating is not necessary when roasting.)
