conVection cooking
Convection cooking uses the three elements and a fan
to circulate the heat evenly and continuously within the
oven (see Figure 1).
Benefits of convection cooking:
• Multiple rack baking.
• Some foods cook faster, saving time and energy.
• No special pans or bake ware needed.

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 the 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.
3. Press 3 7 5. convect and Bake will keep flashing,
and 375°F will appear in the display.
4. Press start. The actual oven temperature and the
fan icon will be displayed. A beep will sound once the
oven temperature reaches 375°F, and the display will
show 375°F, convect, Bake, and the fan icon.
5. Place food in oven.

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 for further 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 1 and 4 (See figure 2)
and position cookware as shown in Figure 3. 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 overbrowning 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 to circulate.

note
The convection fan will start as soon as the oven is set
for convection bake. The display will show an icon of
rotating fan within a square, indicating the convection
fan is operating. The bake, broil, and convection
elements will also cycle for a better heat distribution.
Pressing off will stop the feature at any time.
