Convec Bake
Convection
functions
use a fan to circulate
the oven's heat
uniformly
and continuously
around
the oven. This improved
heat
distribution
allows
for even cooking
and browning
results. It also
gives better
baking
results when using multiple
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.
Convec
Bake may be set for any oven temperature
between
300°F
(148°C)
and 550°F

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
2 or 3 (See Figure 14). When
using two oven racks,
place
in positions
1 and 4. When
using three oven racks,
place in positions
1, 3, and 6 (use offset
rack only in position
6).
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 recom-
mended
for pies. Shiny pans are recommended
for cakes,
cookies,
and muffins.

Important
notes:
•
The convection
fan on a gas range
will not begin
rotating
until Convec
Bake has been into the cycle
for six minutes.
•
If the oven door
is opened
when Convec Bake is active,
the
convection
fan will stop rotating
until the oven door
is
closed.
D-O will appear
in the display.
•
When
using Convec
Bake, cook time reductions
may vary
depending
on the amount
and type of food
being
cooked.
•
Glass cookware
may require
reduced
temperature.
Minimize
opening
of the oven door. Opening
the door will
reduce
the temperature
in the oven.
Baking
tips
•
Fully preheat
the oven before
cooking
items like cookies,
biscuits, and breads.
•
When
using any single
rack, position
the rack so that the
food
is in the center
of the oven.
•
For best results when baking
cakes or cookies
using two
oven racks, place racks in positions
3 and 5 (See Figure 15).
•
Dark or dull bakeware
absorbs
more heat than shiny
bakeware.
It may be necessary
to reduce oven temperature
and cook time to prevent
overbrowning
of some foods.
Dark
bakeware
is recommended
for pies. Shiny bakeware
is
recommended
for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
•
For best results, use cookware
with low sides. This allows the
air to circulate
around
the food,
sealing
in juices and
flavors.
