Convection Bake - Kenmore 316520000 Use & Care Manual

About convection bake
Convection bake is part of the Perfect-Convect³™
system. Convection bake uses a fan to circulate
the oven heat evenly and continuously. The
improved heat distribution allows for even cooking
with excellent results. Multiple rack cooking may
slightly increase cook times for some foods, but
the overall result is time saved.
The conv bake feature should ONLY be used when
your recipe instructions have been written for use
with convection baking.
If your recipe instructions are for normal baking and
you wish to use convection bake, follow the
Convection Convert option instructions. The
convection convert option will automatically adjust
the oven temperature so that convection baking
may provide the best possible results.
Conv bake may be set with the following options:
• Conv convert
• Cook time or cook time with end time
• Probe
• Rapid preheat
Benefits of convection bake:
• Superior multiple oven rack performance.
• Some foods cook up 25 to 30% faster, saving
time and energy.
• No special pans or bakeware required.
NOTE
Once conv bake has started the convection fan
make take up to 6 minutes to turn on. This will
allow for proper gas combustion.

For best results
• When baking with a single rack use rack
positions 2 or 3. When using 2 racks use rack
positions 2 & 4. When using 3 racks use rack
positions 2, 3 & 5.
• Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans
with no sides or very low side to allow heated air
to circulate around the food.
• Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook
faster.
• When placing multiple food items in the oven
allow 2-4" (5-10cm) of space between the food
items for proper air circulation.
NOTE
• You may press CANCEL any time when
setting the control or when cooking.
