when using the oven for conventional baking, do not use more
than one rack at a time.
• Set the function knob to BAKE.
• Set the temperature knob to appropriate tempature
• Set the timer, if desired, for up to 1 hour and 20 minutes.
If the baking time is less than 20 minutes, first turn
the timer clockwise past the 20-minute mark and turn
it back to the desired time. If a longer baking time is
required, turn the timer directly to the desired time.
• If not using the timer, set timer to OVEN ON ( ) position.
• Always use a potholder or oven mitt when removing hot
food from the oven.
Convection Bake
The general rule for using most regular baking recipes with a
convection oven is to reduce the temperature given in the
recipe by 5˚C. For roasting larger items such as meats or
roasts, use the same temperature as indicated, but reduce
the cooking time.
In any case, always check your baked items 10 minutes before
cooking time indicates. For larger roasted items such as
meats, start checking 20 to 40 minutes before stated cooking
time is reached.
With convection baking, the key is the airflow. Avoid using
baking dishes with high sides. For example, even when baking
cookies, try to use a cookie sheet with no sides. For roasting
meats use shallow baking trays as opposed to large, high-
sided roasting pans. For the same reason you'll want to avoid
cooking anything with a lid when you use the convection
feature as the lid blocks the airflow.
• Set wire rack to desired position (see page 15).
• Set the function knob to CONV BAKE.
• Set the temperature knob to the desired level.
• Set the timer, if desired. If the baking time is less than
20 minutes, first turn the timer clockwise past the
20-minute mark and turn it back to the desired time.
