Convection bake

Convection (conv) bake uses a fan to circulate the oven heat
evenly and continuously
bution allows for even cooking with excellent results. Multiple
rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some food
types, but the overall result will be time saved.
The conv bake feature should only be used when your recipe
instructions have been written especially for convection baking.
If your recipe instructions are for baking and you wish to use
conv bake, follow the conv convert option instructions. The conv
convert option will automatically adjust the oven temperature so
that convection baking will provide the best possible results.
Benefits of convection bake:
• Superior multiple oven rack performance.
• Foods cook more evenly.
• No special pans or bake ware required.
Conv bake may be set with the following options:

• Layer cakes will have better results using the normal bake
feature. For best results it is recommended to preheat the
oven before baking items like cookies, biscuits and breads.
• Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no
sides or very low side to allow heated air to circulate around

the food. Food items baked on pans with a dark finish will

cook faster.
