Convect

 uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat uniformly 

and continuously around the oven. This improved heat 

distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning 

results. It also gives better baking results when using two 

racks at the same time.

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in 

juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly.

Layer cakes will have better results using the 

bake 

feature. Most foods baked in a standard oven will cook 

faster and more evenly using the 

convect

 feature.

NOTES

When using convect bake cook time reductions may 

vary depending on the amount and type of food being 

cooked.

The convect fan will begin rotating

 once convect 

feature has been activated.

Suggestion for convect roast

1.  Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using 

convect roast

.

2. Since 

convect roast 

cooks food faster, reduce the 

cook time by 25% from the recommended cook 

time of your recipe (check the food at this time). 

If necessary, increase cook time until the desired 

doneness is obtained.

3.  Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will 

prevent the meat from browning properly.

Suggestions  for convect baking

1.  For optimum cooking results it is recommended to 

preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, 

biscuits and breads.

2.  Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s 

recommended oven temperature. Follow the 

remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the 

minimum recommended cook time.

3.  When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in 

positions 2 & 5 for best results (Fig. 1).
