PURE CONVECTION

TM

This mode uses the third element and convection fan only. It is best for light colored and delicate baked goods. Lower the oven tempera-
ture by 25 degrees. For baking time, use the lowest stated time in the recipe and add more time if necessary. If multiple- rack baking
with 3 or more racks, increase time by 5-15 minutes on average. For Roasting, use a roasting pan fitted with a v-shaped rack or a roasting
pan with a flat rack.
Best for: Cakes, Tarts, Puff Pastry, Cookies, Free Form Yeast Breads, Biscuits, Muffins, Yeast Rolls, Multiple Racks

CONVECTION BAKE

This mode uses bottom heat and the convection fan. Items baked in a deep ceramic dish or earthenware clay pots are best in this mode.
These are foods in a deep pan that require browning on the top and bottom. Lower oven temperature by 25 degrees. Since these items
require a longer cook time, time savings are on average about 25%. Set timer 15 minutes before the lowest stated time and add more
time if necessary.

Lasagnas, Pizzas
