convection Bake
Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's
heat uniformly around the oven . This improved
heat distribution allows for even cooking and
browning results . Heated air flows around the food
from all sides .
Convection bake may be set for any oven tempera-
ture between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C) .
Benefits of convection cooking include:
•
Multiple rack baking .
convection baking tips:
•
Use Convection Bake for best results when
baking cookies and cakes on 2 racks .
•
For best results it is recommended to preheat
the oven before baking items like cookies, bis-
cuits and breads and move pans to front of the
racks .
•
If your recipe is not written for convection bak-
ing, reduce the oven temperature by 25° or use
Convection Convert option .
•
No special pans or bakeware required .
•
For cookies use the following racks:
•
Single rack baking use 2 (flat rack) .
•
Two rack baking use 1 (glide) and 4 (flat) .
•

tions and place bakeware as shown in Figure 4 .

with no sides or very low side to allow heated
air to circulate around the food . Food items

er .
