Convec. Bake
Benefits of convection
cooking:
•
Foods cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and
energy.
• Multiple
rack baking.
•
No special pans or bakeware
needed.
Convection
functions
use a fan to circulate
the oven's heat
uniformly
and continuously
around
the oven. This improved
heat distribution
allows for fast, even cooking
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
will cook faster and more
evenly with the convection
feature.
Convec.
Bake may be set for any oven temperature
between
170°F (77°C)
to 550°F (288°C).
Suggestions for Convec. Bake:
•
For optimum
cooking
results it is recommended
to
preheat
the oven when baking
foods
such as cookies,
biscuits and breads.
Reduce oven temperature
25°F from recipe's
recommended
oven temperature.
Follow the remainder
of the recipe's instructions
using the minimum
recommended
cook time.
For best results when using a single oven rack, place
rack in position
4 or 5 (See Fig. 1). When
using 2 oven
racks, place in positions
2 & 5. When using 3 oven racks
place in positions
2, 4, & 7 (use offset
rack only in
position
7).
To set Convec.
Bake with a default oven set temperature
of 350°F:
1. Arrange
oven racks and close oven door.
2. Press Convec. Bake key pad.

Important
notes:
• The convection
fan will begin rotating
once Convec.
Bake has been activated.
•
If the oven door is opened
when Convec.
Bake is active,
the convection
fan will stop rotating until the oven door
is closed.
• When
using Convec.
Bake cook time reductions
may
vary depending
on the amount
and type of food
being
cooked.
•
Layer cakes will have better
results using the normal
Bake function.
Dark or dull pans absorb
more heat than shiny
bakeware
resulting
in dark or overbrowning
of foods. It
may be necessary
to reduce the oven temperature
or
cook time to prevent
overbrowning
of some foods. Dark
pans are recommended
for pies. Shiny pans are
recommended
for cakes, cookies and muffins.
