When cooking is complete, press CLEAR/OFF.

Remove the food from the oven.
NOTE
• It is normal for the convection fan to operate
periodically throughout a normal bake cycle in
the oven. This is to ensure even baking results.
Baking Tips
• Baking time and temperature will vary
depending on the characteristics, size, and
shape of the baking pan used.
• Check for food doneness at the minimum recipe
time.
• Use metal bakeware (with or without a nonstick
finish), heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic or
other bakeware recommended for oven use.
• Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook
food faster with more browning. Insulated
bakeware will slightly lengthen the cooking time
for most foods.
• The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel finish.
To make cleaning easier, protect the oven
bottom from excessive spillovers by placing a
cookie sheet on the rack below the rack you are
cooking on. This is particularly important when
baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid
content. Hot fruit fillings or other foods that are
highly acidic may cause pitting and damage to
the porcelain-enamel surface and should be
wiped up immediately.
Convection Mode
The convection system uses a fan to circulate the
heat evenly within the oven. Improved heat
distribution allows for even cooking and excellent
results while cooking with single or multiple racks.

Press START. The display shows Conv. Bake
and the starting temperature of the oven
depends on the oven cavity temperature.
• As the oven preheats, the display shows
increasing temperatures in 5-degree
increments. Once the oven reaches the set
adjusted temperature, a tone sounds and
the oven light flashes on and off. The
display shows the auto-converted oven
temperature, 350 °F, and the fan icon.

Press CLEAR/OFF to cancel at any time or
when cooking is complete.
NOTE
• The oven fan runs while convection baking. The
fan stops when the door is open. In some cases,
the fan may shut off during a convection bake
cycle.
Tips for Convection Baking
• Use Convection Bake for faster and more even
multiple-rack cooking of pastries, cookies,
muffins, biscuits, and breads of all kinds.
• Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no sides
or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate
around the food. Food baked on pans with a
dark finish will cook faster.
• When using Convection Bake, place the oven
racks in the positions suggested in the charts in
this manual.
• Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase
cook times for some foods.
• Cakes, cookies and muffins have better results
when using multiple racks.
Recommended Baking Guide
Baking results will be better if baking pans are
centered in the oven as much as possible. If
cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in
the positions shown.
Multiple-rack cooking saves time and energy.
Whenever possible, cook foods requiring the same
cooking temperature together in one oven.
