¡ If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1"
to 1½'' (2.5 to 4 cm) of air space around the pan.
¡ Allow at least 2'' (5 cm) of space between bakeware for
proper air circulation.
How to use Conv Multi Rack mode
Use Conv Multi Rack for cooking individual serving-sized
foods such as cookies and biscuits. It is also good for
cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the same time.
The benefits of Conv Multi Rack include even browning
and time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one
time.
Note
¡ Baking cookies is possible on 6 racks simultaneously. In
this case, the baking time increases slightly.
¡ Reduce recipe temperature by 25°F if auto convection
conversion is not activated.
¡ Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as cookie
sheets without sides.
¡ If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1"
to 1½" (2.5 to 4 cm) of air space around the pan.
¡ Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other.
How to use Pizza mode
Note
Follow these recommendations:
¡ There might be a slight decrease in baking time. Check
before minimum package time.
¡ When baking a frozen pizza: For a crispy crust, place
directly on the rack. For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
¡ When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil
and cover it in a bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent
crust formation.
¡ If par baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough
with a fork before baking.
¡ If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for a
more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer
crust.
¡ Preheat baking stones following manufacturer’s recom-
mendations while the oven is preheating.
¡ Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in the center
of the rack.
¡ Follow manufacturer’s directions for frozen pizza.
¡ The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza
mode.
How to use Roast mode
Use Roast mode for large cuts of meat and poultry.
Note
¡ Preheating the oven is not necessary.
¡ Use a high-sided broil pan or roasting pan. Cover dish
with a lid or foil for less tender cuts of meat.
¡ For less tender cuts of meat, add liquids, such as water,
juice, wine, bouillon or stock for flavor and moisture.
¡ Roasting bags and using a liquid are suitable for use in
this mode.
¡ When roasting whole chicken or turkey, tuck wings be-
hind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.
How to use Conv Roast mode
Use the Conv Roast mode for preparing tender cuts of
meat and poultry. It is also suitable for roasting vegeta-
bles.
The benefits of Conv Roast mode include as much as
25% faster cooking than non-convection modes and rich,
golden browning.
Note
¡ Preheating the oven is not necessary.
¡ Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
¡ Check doneness early, since roasting time may de-
crease.
¡ Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
¡ Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow, uncov-
ered pan with a rack for roasting.
¡ Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal tem-
perature of the meat.
¡ If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done,
foil can be placed over the meat to prevent overbrown-
ing.
¡ Let meat stand covered with foil 10-15 minutes after re-
moving it from the oven.
How to use Broil (high/low) mode
The Broil (high/low) mode uses intense heat radiated
from the upper element. Use this mode for cooking thin,
tender cuts of meat, 1" (2.5 cm) or less, poultry and fish. It
can also be used to brown breads and casseroles.
Note
¡ Always broil with the oven door closed.
¡ Preheat the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not preheat for
more than 5 minutes.
¡ Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" (2 cm) thick.
¡ Use the broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal
rack, for broiling.
¡ Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to
drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to pre-
vent smoking and spattering.
¡ Turn meats once during the recommended cook time.
Fish does not need to be turned.
¡ When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass
ceramic dishes such as Corningware®.
¡ Never use heat-proof glass, such as Pyrex®; it cannot
tolerate the high temperature.
How to use Conv Broil mode
Use the Conv Broil mode for cooking thick, tender cuts of
meat, poultry and fish. This mode is not recommended for
browning breads, casseroles and other foods.
In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection
broiling is faster.
Note
¡ Always use convection broil with the oven door closed.
¡ Preheat the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not preheat for
more than 5 minutes.
¡ Steaks and chops should be at least 1½" (4 cm) thick.
¡ Use the broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal
rack, for broiling.
¡ Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to
drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to pre-
vent smoking and spattering.
¡ Turn meats once during the recommended cook time.
Fish does not need to be turned.
¡ Never use heat-proof glass, such as Pyrex®; it cannot
tolerate the high temperature.
How to use Frozen Foods mode
Use the Frozen Foods mode for frozen convenience
foods such as fish sticks and chicken nuggets.

sary.
¡ Crispy and evenly browned frozen foods.
