Convection Cooking

Convection cooking uses the three elements and a fan to
circulate the heat evenly and continuously within the oven
(See Figure 21).

Benefits of convection cooking:

•
Multiple rack baking.
•
Some foods cook faster, saving time and energy.
•
No special pans or bakeware needed.
•
Food cooks more evenly.

Setting Convection Bake

This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best results
when baking with multiple pans and racks. The oven can
be programmed for convection baking at any temperature
between 170°F to 550°F with a default temperature of
350°F.
To set the oven for convection bake and temperature
to 375°F:
1. Arrange interior oven racks.
2. Press convect. Convect and bake will flash and 350
will appear in the display. If a convection bake of 350°F
is needed, press start.

Convection baking tips:

•
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads.
• If your recipe cooking temperature has already been
converted for convection baking, there is no need to
reduce your oven temperature. If not, you can easily
reduce using the Convection Convert feature. Please see
"Setting Convection Convert"
instruction on temperature conversion.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
• For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place racks in positions 2 and 4 (See
•
When baking using two oven racks, position cookware
as shown in Figure 23. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of
space between cookware for proper air circulation.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven
temperature and cook time to prevent over browning of
some foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies.
Shiny bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
• Most baked goods (except cakes) should be baked on
pans with no sides or low sides to allow air to circulate.
