By using the convection bake feature, you will be able to cook faster. You can program the oven
for convection baking at any temperature between 175 °F and 550 °F.
When operating in twin mode, you can program the oven for convection baking at any
temperature between 175 °F and 480 °F. 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 baking. 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.
Tip for convection baking (single mode)
The amount of time you save will vary depending on the amount and type of food you are
cooking. When baking cookies or biscuits, you should use pans with no sides or very low sides
to allow the heated air to circulate around the food. Using a pan with a dark finish will allow faster
cooking times.
When using convection baking with a single rack, place the oven rack in
position 4
. If cooking on
multiple racks, place the oven racks in
positions 2
and
5
or
positions 2, 4
and
6
.
When baking a cake, using the bake mode will produce better results.
How to set the oven for convection baking (single mode)
1
. Start the convection baking mode.
Press the
CONV. BAKE
pad. The default temperature is 350 °F.
2
. Enter the temperature you want, eg. 400 °F, by using the number
pads. Set the temperature that is called for in the recipe.
Important: In convection baking, the oven automatically sets the
temperature 25 °F lower than your setting because convection
baking cooks food more effectively.
3
. Press the
START/SET
pad to begin convection baking.
Conv. Bake and the adjusted oven temperature, eg. 375 °F, will
appear in the display for 2 seconds.
The temperature display will start to change once the oven
temperature reaches 150 °F.
A beep will sound 6 times when the adjusted oven temperature,
eg. 375 °F, is reached and the display will show the auto-
converted oven temperature.
4
. Turn off or cancel convection baking by pressing the
CLEAR/OFF
pad.
