Setting Convection Bake
The CONV BAKE
Use the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The
oven can be programmed for Convection Bake 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 3 or 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place
the oven racks in positions 2 and 5 (for 2 racks). Place in positions 1, 3 and 6 (for 3 racks). Refer to Fig. 1.
4. Cakes will have better results when baked using the
Please Note: When setting Bake or a cooking feature that preheats the oven (except Broil), the Convection fan will turn on
and stay on until the oven reaches the set temperature. If the oven temperature is set higher during the cooking process, the
Convection fan will turn on again until the oven reaches the adjusted set temperature.
