Setting Convection Bake
The CONVECTION BAKE
Use the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven
can be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 170°
F (77° C) to 550° F (288° C).
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved heat
distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using 2 or 3 racks
at the same time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly. Convection Bake cooks most foods faster and more evenly
than conventional baking.
General Convection Bake Instructions
1. Adjust the cook time for desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type
of food to be cooked. Cookies and biscuits 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.
2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.
3. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position 2 or 3. If cooking on multiple racks,
place the oven racks in positions 2 and 4.
