Setting Convection- Upper Oven Only
The CONV BAKE pad controls the Convection feature. Use the Convection feature when cooking speed is desired. The
oven can be programmed for Convection at any temperature between 170°F (77° C) to 550°F (288° C).
Convection uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved heat distribution
allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using 2 or 3 racks at the same
time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly. Convection cooks most foods faster and more evenly than conventional
baking.
Note: This feature is only available in the upper oven.
