Using the convection oven. Convection Fan 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: The convection fan will cycle on and off while cooking to best distribute hot air in the oven. The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. 1-Rack Convection Baking The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. When convection baking with only 1 rack, use the rack positions recommended in the Using the oven section. n Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on 1 rack and for large foods. Additionally, some time savings may be noticed. n Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins, brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread. 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 quick breads give good results with multi-rack baking. When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the fourth (D) position, one in the fifth (E) position and one in the sixth (F) position. If pans will not fit, use rack positions B, D and F. Adapting Recipes... You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven. When convection baking, the Auto Recipe™ Conversion feature automatically reduces the set regular baking temperature by the recommended 25°F (14°C). See Auto Recipe™ Conversion in the Special Features section. n Use pan size recommended. n Some package instructions for frozen casseroles or main dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature on the package. 18
