SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
SETTING CONVECTION BAKE
This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best
culinary results when baking with multiple pans and
racks. Multiple rack baking may slightly increase cook
time for some foods but the overall result is time saved.
Some food may cook faster and more evenly with
Convection Bake. Convection baking uses the bake
burner, the convection element and a fan to circulate the
oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven. The
oven can be programmed for Convection baking at any
temperature between 300°F to 550°F (149°C to 288°C)
with a default temperature of 350°F.
Convection Baking Tips:
• Always preheat your oven before using the Convection
Bake mode.
• During preheat, the bake burner, convection element
and the convection fan are used in cycle to quickly heat
the oven.
• If your recipe cooking temperature has already been
converted for convection baking there is no need to
reduce your oven temperature. If your recipe has not
had the temperature converted for convection baking
you can easily reduce using the Convection Convert
feature. Please see Convection Convert section on next
page for further instruction on temperature conversion.
• Use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection
baking when using this mode. Time reductions will
vary depending on the amount and type of food to be
cooked.
• When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place
oven rack in position 2 or 3. If cooking on two racks,
place the oven racks in positions 2 and 4. If cooking
on three racks, place the oven racks in positions 2, 3
and 4.
• Most bakeries (except cakes) should be baked on pans
with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to
circulate around the food.
• Food baked on pans with a dark fi nish will cook faster.
