Convec Bake
Benefits of convection cooking include:
•
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 pan will cook faster and more
evenly with the convection feature.
Convec Bake may be set for any oven temperature between
170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).
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. 350 will appear in the display.
3. By pressing
or
adjusted in 5°F increments (1°C). When setting for convec-
tion, be sure to set the oven temperature between 300°F
(149°C) and 550°F (288°C).

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.
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
place in positions 2 and 5. When using three oven racks,
place in positions 2, 4, and 7 (use offset rack only in
position 7).
•
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.
•
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 pans as shown in
