Convect Bake
The convection elements are located in the rear of the oven
cavity, and assisted by the convection fans, provide balanced,
efficient heating.
Convection baking can be used for baking cakes, uncovered
casseroles, and frozen or convenience foods, as well as foods on
multiple racks. If the oven is full, extra cooking time may be
needed.
When cooking an oven meal with several different types of foods,
be sure to select recipes that require similar temperatures.
Cookware should sit in the oven with at least 1" (2.5 cm) of space
between the cookware and the sides of the oven.
During convection baking preheat, the convection, bake and broil
elements all heat the oven cavity. After preheat, the convection,
bake and broil elements and the fans will cycle on and off in
intervals to maintain oven temperature.
If the oven door is opened during convection baking, the fans
turn off immediately when the door is opened and turn on
immediately when the door is closed. Convection, Bake, and
Broil elements will turn off approximately 30 seconds after the
door is opened. They will turn on again approximately
30 seconds after the door is closed.
■
Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). Check food at
shortest recommended package or recipe time.
■
Use cookie sheets with no sides to allow air to move freely
around the food.
Before Using Convect Bake:
Before using Convect Bake, see the “Positioning Racks and
Bakeware” section and the following tips for rack positions.
Rack positions
1-rack baking: 3
2-rack baking: 2 and 4 or 1 and 4
3-rack baking: 1, 3, and 5
4-rack baking: 1, 2, 4, and 5
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use racks 4 and 2
for baking. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.
