SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
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, 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 3 (fl at rack).
•
Two rack baking use 2 (fl at) and 6 (fl at).
•
For baking cakes use the following rack posi-
tions and place bakeware as shown in Figure 4.
In upper rack use position 4 (fl at) or 5 (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.
Convection Convert
Convection Convert automatically reduces the
oven temperature from what is specifi ed in most
baking recipes to compensate for the increased
cooking effi ciency of convection baking.
To set convection bake with a default oven set
temperature of 325°F (163°C):
1.
Select Oven Mode and scroll to Convection
Bake.
2. Touch Convection Bake: Default oven temp of
325° appears.
3. An option for Convection Convert is visible
on the screen. Using it will lower the oven
temperature 25° to account for the increased
effi ciency of convection. If used, Convection
Convert must be selected before pressing Start.
4. Touch START:
5. Option to set Cook Time.
6. Touch START.
7.
Oven will turn off when Cook Time is complete.
