Using the Convection Modes
Trivection ™ Wall 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 may cycle on and off
and change direction 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.
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 CONV MULTI.
Trivection ™ Oven
When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the
first (A) position, one in the third (C) position
and one in the 5th (E) position.
Lower Oven
When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the
second (B) position, one in the fourth (D)
position and one in the 6th (F) position.
NOTE: On double wall ovens, the rack design is
unique for the upper Trivection™ oven. Due to this,
the upper oven racks and the lower oven racks are not
interchangeable.

1-rack
convection
baking
The convection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food using the
bake and broil elements. Ideal for cooking
large casseroles and lasagna with good results. When convection baking with only 1 rack, use
CONV 1 RACK and for best results place the rack
on shelf B or C in the Trivection
™ Oven, or shelf C
or D in the lower oven on double oven models, 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.
Auto
Recipe
™
Conversion
When convection baking, the Auto Recipe ™
Conversion feature automatically reduces
the set traditional baking temperature by
the recommended 25°F. See Auto Recipe
™
Conversion in the Settings 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 traditional temperature
on the package.
