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 fl ows 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).
Benefi ts 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,
biscuits and breads and move pans to center 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 3 (glide rack).
•
Two rack baking use 2 (fl at) and 5 (glide).
•
For baking cakes use the following rack posi-
tions and place bakeware as shown in Figure 4.
In upper rack use position 5 (glide) or 6 (fl at).
•
Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans
with no sides or very low side to allow heated
air to circulate around the food. Food items
baked on pans with a dark fi nish will cook fast-
er.
•
Leave oven lights off while baking.
