Using the convection oven. (on some models) Convection Cook (on some models) The convection oven comes with one convection cook mode and can be used for 1-Rack Convection Baking or Multi-Rack Convection Baking. GEAppliances.com Convection Fan Operation In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned-often in less time with convection heat. NOTE: To maximize cooking evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both directions, with a pause in between. This is normal. The convection fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element. Multi-rack position. Multi-Rack Convection Baking Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple racks. Multi-rack baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads give very good results with multi-rack baking. When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the second (B) position, another rack in the fourth (D) position and the third rack in the sixth (F) position. For two-rack baking, place one rack in the second (B) rack position. Place the other rack in the fifth (E) rack position. 1-Rack Convection Baking When convection baking with only 1 rack, place the food so that it is centered in the oven. Adapting Recipes...
