Setting Convection Bake

The pad controls the Convection Bake feature. Use the Convection Bake
feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven can be programmed for
Convection baking at any temperature between 170° F (77°C) to 550° F (288°C).
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously
within the oven (See Fig. 1). This improved heat distribution allows for even
cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods cooked
on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with convection
bake Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some
foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown more evenly.
Tips for Convection Bake
1. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be
cooked. Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very
low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on
pans with a dark finish will cook faster.
2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.
3. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position 2
or 3. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 2 and 4.
