OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONVECTION BAKE & TURBO (Continued)
Preheating
Preheat the oven before baking. The oven does not need to be preheated for large pieces of
meat or poultry. See your recipe for preheating recommendation. Preheating time depends on
the temperature setting and the number of racks in the oven.
Temperature Setting
When  using  Convection  Bake,  reduce  the  temperature  recommended  in  the  recipe  by  25°F.
When  roasting  meats,  check  internal  temperature  prior  to  time  recommended  by  recipe  to
prevent  over  cooking.  When  roasting  meats  in  convection  mode,  do  not  reduce  temperature
setting.
Condensation
It  is  normal  for  a  certain  amount  of  moisture  to  evaporate  from  the  food  during  any  cooking
process The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture will condense
on any surface cooler than, the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.
Rack Positions
Large Main Oven One Rack Baking When baking on one rack, best results are obtained in the
bake mode (see Bake). When roasting a turkey or a large piece of meat, convection bake may
be used. Rack 4 is the most appropriate rack.
Two Rack Baking
Racks 4 and 2 are most appropriate when using the convection bake mode. Round cake pans
should  be  staggered  on  racks  4  and  2.  Rectangular  (9  x  13)  cake  pans  and  cookie  sheets
should  be  placed  on  rack  4  directly  under  the  one  on  rack  2.  This  may  be  used  for  cakes,
cookies,  biscuits  and  other  foods  for  which  two  rack  baking  is  desirable.  When  several
casseroles, frozen pies or cakes are to be baked, use racks 4 and 2. These two racks can also
be used for a large oven meal.
Bakeware Type
Aluminum bake ware gives the best browning results. Cookie sheets with only two sides give
the  best  results.  Aluminum  commercial  half-sheets  or  professional  cooking  utensils  may  be
used but baking times may be increased.
Placement
For  better  browning,  utensils  such  as  cookie  sheets.  Rectangular  baking  pans  should  be
placed crosswise on the rack with the shorter side facing right and left to allow better air flow.
When baking on more than one rack, cookie sheets and rectangular (9 x 13) cake pans should
not be staggered; round cake pans should be staggered.
Settings for BAKE/CONVECTION and BAKE/CONVECTION/TURBO Cooking Modes
These cooking modes are for baking, roasting or warming using one or two racks.
1.) Select BAKE/CONVECTION  or BAKE/CONVECTION/TURBO  using  the  Selector
switch.
2.)  Set  the  oven  temperature  using  the  oven  temperature  control  knob  (not  over  the
maximum 500°F position). If using CONVECTION,  set  the  oven  control knob 25°F below
the  temperature  suggested  in  the  recipe.  Do  NOT  change  recipe  temperature  if  roasting
meats or poultry.
