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 300° F (149°
C) to 550° F (288° C).
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and
continuously within the oven (See Figure 1). 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, more evenly and at
lower temperatures than conventional bake.
General Convection Bake Instructions
1. Time reduction 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 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 or
2, 3 and 4.
4. Cakes have better results when baked using the Food Categories CAKES pad.
