CONVECTION BAKING

Use the Convection Bake feature when cooking on multiple racks is desired. The oven can
be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 300°F and 550°F.
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within
the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and
browning results at a lower temperature than conventional bake. It also gives better baking
results when using 2 or 3 racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly.
Convection bake cooks more evenly than conventional bake. For baking efficiency, the fan
rotates slower in Convection Bake than in Convection Roast.
Note: Allow up to 6 minutes for the convection fan to start rotating.

This method of cooking enables you to obtain the best results when roasting. All
baking modes can be used to successfully roast in your oven. However, the
Convection Roast mode is recommended to produce meats that are deliciously
seared on the outside and succulently juicy on the inside in less time. The oven can
be programmed to convection roast at any temperature from 300°F to 550°F.
Remember to use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection roasting when
using the convection mode. For roasting efficiency, the fan rotates faster in Convection
Roast than in Convection Bake. When preparing meats for convection roasting, use
the broiler pan and insert along with a roasting rack. The roasting rack will allow to heat
to circulate around the meat.
Note: Allow up to 6 minutes for the convection fan to start rotating.
