Setting Cony Bake
Benefits of the convection
bake feature:
•
Foods may cook up to 25 to 30%
faster, saving
time and
energy.
•
Multiple
rack baking.
Convection
functions
use a fan to circulate
the oven heat
uniformly
and continuously
around
the oven. This improved
heat
distribution
allows
for fast and 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 food
items will cook faster
and more evenly
with the
convection
feature.
Conv Bake may be set for any oven temperature
between
170°F
(77°C)
to 550°F
(288°C).
Suggestions
for Convection
baking:
•
For optimum
cooking
results it is recommended
to preheat
the oven when baking
foods
such as cookies,
biscuits and
breads.
•
Arrange
bakeware
as shown in Figure 28 when using the
convection
feature.
•
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
3 or 4 (Figure 29). When
using 2 oven racks, place
in positions
3 & 5. When
using 3 oven racks place in
positions
2, 4, & 6 (use offset
rack only in position
6).
To set Conv Bake with a default
oven set temperature
of 350°F:
1.
Press Conv Bake.
2.

and air circulation
If the oven door
is opened
when any convection
function
is
active,
the convection
fan will stop rotating
until the oven
door is closed.
When
using Conv Bake cook time reductions
may vary
depending
on the amount
and type of food
being
cooked.
Dark or dull pans and glass absorb
more heat than shiny
bakeware
resulting
in dark
or over
browning
of foods.
To
prevent
this it may
be necessary
to reduce
the oven temper-
ature or cook time to prevent
over browning
of some foods.
Dark pans are recommended
for pies. Shiny pans are
recommended
for cakes, cookies and muffins.
Do not open the oven door too often.
Opening
the door will
reduce
the temperature
in the oven.
