SETTING CONVECTION BAKE
This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best
culinary results when baking with multiple pans and racks.
Multiple rack baking may slightly increase cook time for
some foods but the overall result is time saved. Some food
may cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake.
Convection baking uses the bake burner, the convection
element and a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and
continuously within the oven. The oven can be programmed
for Convection baking at any temperature between 300°1:
to 550°1: with a default temperature of 350°E
Convection Baking Tips:
e Always preheat your oven before using the Convection
Bake mode.
e During preheat, the bake burner, convection element
and the convection fan are used in cycle to quickly heat
the oven.
e If your recipe cooking temperature has already been
converted for convection baking there is no need to re-
duce your oven temperature. If your recipe has not had
the temperature converted for convection baking you
can easily reduce using the Convection Convert feature.
Please see Convection Convert section on next page for
further instruction on temperature conversion.
e Use tested recipes with Limes adjusted for convection
baking when using this mode. Time reductions will
vary depending on the amount and type of food to be
cooked.
• When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place
oven rack in position 2 or 3. If cooking on two racks,
place the oven racks in positions 2 and 4. If cooking on
three racks, place the oven racks in positions 1, 3 (off-
set rack) and 4 if the offset rack is available or place on
positions 2, 3 and 4 if not available.
• Most bakeries (except cakes) should be baked 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.
