Setting Convection Bake
The CONVECTION BAKE _ pad controls the Convection Bake feature.
v
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 Figure 1). This improved heat distributionallows 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 bake
cooks most foods faster, at lower temperature and more evenly than conventional
bake. This oven is equipped with multiple fan speeds for even cooking when
baking end better tasting meats when roasting. It will use a slower fan speed for
baking. The slow fan speed slowlyand evenly moves the air through the cavity
and produce lighterflakier crusts for pies and evenly brown cookies.
General Convection Bake Instructions
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.
