Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support Using the lower convection oven. ge.com 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. 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. 1-Rack Convection Baking The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around 0 food using the bake and broil elements. When convection baking with only 1 rack, use Convection Bake 1 Rack - Press pad twice; for best results, place the rack on rack C or D at the center of the oven. Cook times may decrease, so food should be checked earlier than package directions to make sure that it does not overcook. Ideal for cooking large casseroles and lasagna with good results. 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. The amount of time required for multi-rack baking may increase slightly for some foods, but overall time is saved because two to three times as much food is cooked at once. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quick breads give good results with multi-rack baking. To cook food on more than one rack in convection bake, use Convection Bake Multi - Press pad once. When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the second (B) position, one in the fourth (D) position and one in the sixth (F) position. For two-rack baking, place one rack in the second (B) rack position. Place the other rack in the fourth (D) rack position. Adapting Recipes... You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven. When convection baking, reduce baking temperature by 25°F or activate the Auto Recipe™ Conversion feature. See Auto Recipe™ Conversion in the Special features of your oven control section. s Use pan size recommended. s 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. 29

Adapting Recipes…
You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.
When convection baking, reduce baking
temperature by 25°F or activate the Auto
Recipe
Conversion feature. See
Auto
Recipe
Conversion
in the
Special features of
your oven control
section.
Use pan size recommended.
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.
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple racks.
The amount of time required for
multi-rack baking may increase slightly
for some foods, but overall time is saved
because two to three times as much food
is cooked at once. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits and other quick breads give
good results with multi-rack baking.
To cook food on more than one rack
in convection bake, use
Convection Bake
