Choose cookie sheets without sides and roasting pans with lower sides to allow air to move freely around the food. Test baked goods for doneness a few minutes before the minimum cooking time with an alternative method such as a toothpick. Use a meat thermometer or the temperature probe to determine the doneness of meats and poultry. Check the temperature of pork and poultry in 2 or 3 places.

Auto Convection Baking
(on some models)
Auto convection baking allows you to convection cook without entering convection cooking temperatures. Simply enter the standard cooking temperature for the food to be cooked. The oven will reduce the temperature for convection cooking. Check the food as it is cooking because it may cook faster than the time suggested in your recipe.

EASY CONVECT� Conversion
(on some models)
Convection cooking temperatures and times differ from those of standard cooking. Depending upon the selected category, EASY CONVECT� conversion automatically may reduce the standard recipe temperature and/or time you input for convection cooking. Foods are grouped into 3 general categories. Choose the category most appropriate for the food to be cooked. To ensure optimal cooking results, the oven will prompt a food check at the end of a non-delayed cook time. Use the following chart as a guide.
SETTING MEATS FOODS Baked potatoes, Chicken: whole and pieces Meat loaf, Roasts: pork, beef and ham (Turkey and large poultry are not included because their cook time varies.) BAKED GOODS Biscuits, Breads: quick and yeast Cakes: layer and angel food Casseroles: including frozen entrées and soufflés, cookies, fish OTHER FOODS Convenience foods: french fries, nuggets, fish sticks, pizza Pies: fruit and custard

To Convection Auto Bake:
1. Press AUTO CONVECT. Set the temperature to the standard non-convection cooking temperature for the food being cooked. The oven control will automatically adjust the correct convection cooking temperature when cooking starts by reducing the temperature by 50°F (28ºC). 2. Press START. The oven control will automatically reduce the cooking temperature from the standard cooking temperature to the correct convection cooking temperature. The electronic oven control will automatically set the preheat time based on the temperature you have selected. �Lo°� will appear on the display if the actual oven temperature is under 170°F (77°C). After a temperature of 170°F (77°C) has been reached, the temperature will be shown on the display until reaching the set point. 3. Press OFF when finished cooking.

Convection Bake
(on some models)
Convection baking can be used for baking delicate cakes and pastries, as well as foods on multiple racks. It is helpful to stagger items on the racks to allow a more even flow of heat. If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be needed. When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods, be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures. Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space between the cookware and the sides of the oven. During convection baking preheat, the broil elements and the bake element all heat the oven cavity. After preheat, the convection element will cycle on and off in intervals to maintain oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air. If the oven door is opened during convection baking or preheating, the convection element and fan will turn off immediately. They will come back on once the door is closed. s Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may need to be reduced also.

To Use:
Before using convection temperature conversion for BAKED GOODS and OTHER FOODS, allow the oven to preheat before placing food in the oven. 1. Press MEATS, BAKED GOODS or OTHER FOODS. 2. Press number pads to enter standard cook temperature. 3. Press number pads to enter standard cook time. 4. Press START. �CHECK FOOD AT� and the stop time will appear on the oven display. When the stop time is reached, end-of-cycle tones will sound if enabled. Open the door and check food. 5. Press OFF to cancel the reminder tones.

To Convection Bake:
Before convection baking, position racks according to the �Positioning Racks and Bakeware� section. 1. Press CONVECT BAKE. Press the number pads to enter a temperature other than 325°F (163°C). The convection bake range can be set between 170°F and 500°F (77°C and 260°C).
