Setting Convection Bake
Convection functions use a fan to circulate the
oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the
oven
(Figure
19).
This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even
baking and browning results. It also gives better
baking results when using two oven racks at the
same time. Heated air flows around the food from
all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and
pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a
standard pan will bake faster and more evenly with
the convection feature. Multiple rack baking may
slightly increase bake time for some foods, but the
overall result is time saved.
Benefits of Convection Bake:
•
Superior multiple oven rack performance
•
Foods bake more evenly
•
Foods can bake up to 25 to 30% faster.
IMPORTANT
When using convection bake, decrease your
normal cooking times. Adjust the cook time for
desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will
vary depending on the amount and type of food
to be cooked
CAUTION
Be aware that the convection fan will continue to
run after the door is opened. This is normal. Use
caution when reaching inside of the oven. Hot air
will be pushed out of the appliance.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
To set convection bake:
CAUTION
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven
racks, and cooktop will become very hot which
can cause burns
CAUTION
Do not bake foods directly on the oven bottom.
To avoid damaging the oven interior and surfaces,
always bake foods in the oven using bakeware
posi- tioned on an oven rack.
1.
Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool.
2. Allow oven to preheat the oven for 8-to-10 min-
utes before baking. Preheating is not necessary
when roasting, cooking casseroles, or broiling
most foods
3. Turn the oven mode knob to the conv bake po-
sition
(Figure
20).

4. Turn the oven temp knob to the desired tem-
perature position
