Convection Bake
NOTE: The convection fan will cycle on and off
while cooking to best distribute hot air in the
oven.
The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven
door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for
long periods of time while using convection
cooking or you may shorten the life of the
convection heating element.
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air
over, under and around the food.
This circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods
are evenly cooked and browned—often in less
time with convection heat.

Multi-Rack Convection Baking

When convection baking with only 1 rack,
follow the rack positions recommended in
the Using the oven section.
Because heated air is circulated evenly
throughout the oven, foods can be
baked with excellent results using
multiple racks.
Multi-rack baking may increase cook times
slightly for some foods but the overall
result is time saved. Cookies, muffins,
biscuits and other quickbreads give very
good results with multi-rack baking.
Adapting Recipes...
You can use your favorite recipes in the
convection oven.
When convection baking, reduce baking
temperature by 25°F (14°C) or activate
the Auto Recipe ™ Conversion feature.
See Auto Recipe ™ Conversion in the Special
features of your oven control section.
