Convection Mode; Normal Bake; Oven Calibration - Frigidaire GLEB30S9FSA Service Data Sheet

CONVECTION MODE

The convection oven uses the addition of a fan and an element to heat and to move the air already in the oven. Moving
the heated air helps to destratify the heat and cause uniform heat distribution. Cooking times can be reduced by as
much as 30%. The air is drawn in through a fan shroud and the element located on the rear wall of the oven. It is
then discharged around the outer edges of this shroud. The air circulates around the food and then enters the shroud
again. As with conventional electric ranges, there is still an oven vent which discharges through the bottom of the control
panel.
To set the control in convection mode, follow these steps:
1.Press the CONV. BAKE/ROAST pad.
2. Enter the desired temperature on the keypad (set point).
3. Press the START pad.
The oven will automatically start and the fan will begin to run. To cancel the convection baking/roasting function, press
the CANCEL pad.
NOTE: The fan runs continuously while in the convection mode. The fan will stop if the door is opened while
convection baking/roasting. The bake element will continue to operate if the door is opened.
PREHEAT
During a preheat mode, the oven uses a bake element to reach the controller set point. The element uses full power
when it's on. When the set point is reached, the preheat mode is converted to a normal bake mode.

NORMAL BAKE

During a normal bake mode, the controller preheats the oven with the bake element. When the desired temperature
is reached, the controller adds top heat by cycling the broil element on for 12 to 18 seconds per minute. The bake
element is on for the remaining time of the minute. Both elements use full power when they are on but they are never
on at the same time.
CLEAN
During a cleaning process, the oven uses bake element.
CLEAN AND TIMED CLEAN
When these modes are selected, the door locks right after start button is pushed.
FIRST RISE
It is normal to see a temperature overshoot in the
first rise of all modes when you monitor the temperature.

OVEN CALIBRATION

Set the electronic oven control for normal baking at 350°F/176°C. Obtain an average oven temperature after a
minimum of 5 cycles. Press Cancel to end bake mode.
Note: Changing calibration affects all the cooking modes but not the clean mode.
