A:Answer Hello there, thank you for reaching out with this question. We are happy to let you know that oven safe aluminum cookware should work well with the bread you are trying to cook. Convection cooking mode uses a fan to increase air circulation for more powerful and more even cooking, but it is necessary for all baking applications. All of our manuals are now available digitally, and we would recommend reaching out to us via direct message on social media so that one of our team members can steer you to a digital copy of yours. We hope this helps, and please be sure to let us know if there are any ways we can assist you in the future. -Elliot@GEA
