Convection Cooking
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. The convection function uses a
fan to circulate the oven heat uniformly and continuously
around the oven
(Figure
tion allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It
also gives better baking results when using two oven racks
at the same time.
Benefits of convection cooking:
•
Multiple rack baking.
•
Some foods may cook faster, saving time and energy.
Convection baking tips:
•
Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads.
•
For single rack baking, position the rack so that food is
in the center of the oven.
•
If your recipe cooking temperature has already been
converted for convection baking, there is no need to
reduce your oven temperature. If not, see
Convection Convert"
on temperature conversion.
•
For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place flat rack in position 5 and the glide rack in
position 1 (See
Figure
oven racks, position cookware as shown in
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 temper-
ature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some
foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny
bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
•
Do not open oven door too often. Doing so reduces
oven temperature and may extend cooking time.
•
Most baked goods (except cakes) should be baked on
pans with no sides or low sides to allow air to circulate.

Setting Convection Bake
To set the oven for convection bake and temperature to
375°F:
1. Arrange interior oven racks.
2. Turn the oven mode selector to CONVECT BAKE.
3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 375°F.
4. The oven temperature light will blink before sounding a
chime confirming the setting. The convection fan will
turn on and the oven will begin heating.
5. Once the oven reaches the set temperature the oven
will sound a chime indicating the food items can be
placed in the oven.
6. When finished baking, be sure to return both the
temperature selector knob and the oven mode knob to
the OFF positions.
