Bi-level cooking
The metal oven rack is designed for use in this convection microv\rave oven. The round baking sheet
is also designed for use in this oven, but should be used for convecfion cooking only. For convection
bi-level baking of cakes, cookies, etc., use the removable tray for a second baking sheet.
Upper rack is used for bi-ievel cooking for
items such as layer cakes and cookies.
The lower rack inserted in the removable tray
is used for roasting or broiling in convection
and combination cooking. This allows better
air circulation and juices to drain away from
food.
The round baking sheet is the correct size to allow for proper air flow in convection cooking. When
using the round baking sheet, place it in the center of the upper rack for bi-level cooking or on the
bottom rack for one level cooking.
1. Do not use the rack on the bottom of the oven in place of the removable tray.
2. Be sure that the oven rack and round baking sheet are not touching the interior oven walls before
cooking.

5. if foods undercook during convection and combination cooking:
• Follow reliable recipes exactly for ingredients, utensils, cooking time and proper rack position.
• When appropriate, preheat the oven before placing the food in it.
• Make sure foods are prepared and ready to place in the oven. This reduces heat loss due to
door being open.
• Roasts or broiled meats should be cooked directly on the lower rack for proper cooking.
• Some foods may require additional cooking time.
• Lower than normal electric supply will cause undercooking. Your electric company can tell
you if the line voltage is low.
• Some meat thermometers are not reliable or accurate in a convection oven.
6 . Preheating times in the convection oven will vary depending on preheat temperature
programmed, room temperature and differences in power supply voltage.
