Cookware for Convection Cooking
Before using your convection oven, check
to see if your cookware leaves room for air
circulation in the oven. If you are baking
with several pans, leave space between
them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch
each other or the walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers
that are recommended for use in regular
baking can also be used for convection baking,
but should not be used at temperatures higher
than the temperature recommended by the
cookware manufacturer. Plastic cookware that
is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F can
also be used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven. However, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended for
convection baking.
„ Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake
faster than shiny pans.
„ Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan
with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well
around food in a pan with high sides.
When baking cookies, you will get
the best results if you use a flat
cookie sheet instead of a pan with
low sides.

Using the convection oven.
„ Good for large tender cuts of meat,
uncovered.
The convection fan circulates the heated air
evenly over and around the food. Meat and
poultry are browned on all sides as if they were
cooked on a rotisserie. The heated air seals in
juices quickly for a moist and tender product
while, at the same time, creating a rich golden
brown exterior.
When you are convection roasting it is
important that you use a broiler pan and grid
for best convection roasting results. The pan is
used to catch grease spills
and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.
Convection Roast
Touch the CONVECTION BAKE pad and
then the 2 pad for multi-rack convection
baking. This mode is used for cooking food
items on more than one rack (i.e., 2, 3 or
more racks) at the same time in convection
bake. See the Multi-Rack Convection Baking
section for more information.
Touch the CONVECTION BAKE pad and
then the 1 pad for one-rack convection
baking. This mode is used for cooking food
items on only one rack in convection bake.
Touch the CONVECTION ROAST pad for
convection roasting.
Touch the number pads to set the oven
temperature.
Touch the START pad.
NOTE: If the Auto Recipe ™ Conversion Feature
is on, it will automatically reduce the set regular

convection temperature in convection bake
mode. See Auto Recipe ™ Conversion in the
Special Features section.
To change the oven temperature, touch the
CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTION ROAST
pad and then the number pads to set the new
temperature.
When the oven starts to heat, the changing
temperature, starting at 100°F, will be displayed.
When oven reaches the temperature you set, 3
beeps will sound.
Touch CLEAR/OFF pad when finished.
„ You will hear a fan while cooking with
convection. The fan will stop when the door is
opened, but the heat will not turn off.
„ You may hear the oven clicking during
baking. This is normal.
„ In convection bake modes, for maximum
cooking evenness, the fan is designed to
rotate in both directions, with a pause in
between. This is normal.
