18 Setting Oven Controls Convection Baking/Convert Tips • Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, biscuits, and breads. • When using any single oven rack, position the rack in the oven so that the food is in the center of the oven. • When baking cakes using two oven racks, place bakeware in positions 1 (using glide rack) and 4 (using flat rack) (Figure 20) and place pans as shown in Figure 19. • Allow 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware to allow for proper air circulation. • Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow air to circulate around the food. • Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowned foods. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature or bake time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins. • Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase bake time. • Reduce oven temperature 25°F (14°C) from recipe's recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe's instructions using the minimum recommended bake time. • For cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection bake function for best results when using multiple racks. Convection Convert Use convection convert to automatically convert any normal baking recipe into a convection bake recipe. The control uses the normal recipe settings and adjusts to a lower temperature for convection baking. When set properly, this feature is designed to display the actual converted (reduced) temperature in the display. Convection convert may only be used with a convection bake cooking mode. Benefits of convection convert: • Superior multiple oven rack performance • Some foods bake faster, saving time and energy • No special bakeware required When using convection convert, bake time reductions may vary depending on the open temperature setting. Convection convert reduces original temperatures by 25°F (14°C). To set convection convert with the factory default oven temperature of 350°F (176°C): Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven.

Convection Baking/Convert Tips
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits, and breads.
When using any single oven rack, position the rack in the
oven so that the food is in the center of the oven.
When baking cakes using two oven racks, place bakeware
in positions 1 (using glide rack) and 4 (using flat rack)
(
Figure 20
) and place pans as shown in
Figure 19
.
Allow 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware to allow
for proper air circulation.
Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no
sides or very low sides to allow air to circulate around the
food.
Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowned foods. It may
be necessary to reduce oven temperature or bake time to
prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark bakeware is
recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended
for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase bake
time.
Reduce oven temperature 25°F (14°C) from recipe’s
recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of
the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended
bake time.
For cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection bake
function for best results when using multiple racks.
Convection Convert
Use convection convert to automatically convert any normal
baking recipe into a convection bake recipe. The control uses
the normal recipe settings and adjusts to a lower temperature
for convection baking. When set properly, this feature is
designed to display the actual converted (reduced) temperature
in the display. Convection convert may only be used with a con-
vection bake cooking mode.
Benefits of convection convert:
Superior multiple oven rack performance
Some foods bake faster, saving time and energy
No special bakeware required
When using convection convert, bake time reductions may vary
depending on the open temperature setting. Convection convert
reduces original temperatures by 25°F (14°C).
To set convection convert with the factory default oven
temperature of 350°F (176°C):
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven.
When baking, the oven interior and oven racks will become very
hot which can cause burns.
