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.
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven.
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
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
(when baking cookies) or
2
and
4
(when
baking cakes).
How to set the oven for convection baking
1
. Start the convection baking mode.
Press
Bake
. The default temperature is 350 °F.
2
. Enter the temperature you want, eg. 400 °F, using the number pad. Set the temperature that is
called for in the recipe.
3
. Press
Oven Start/Set
to begin convection baking.
The Conv.Bake icon and the adjusted oven temperature, eg. 400 °F, will appear in the display
for 2 seconds.
The temperature display will start to change once the oven temperature reaches 175 °F.
A beep will sound 6 times when the oven reaches the adjusted oven temperature.
4
. To turn off or cancel convection baking, press
Oven Off
.
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.
If you leave the oven door open for more than 2 minutes when the oven is on, all heating
elements will shut off automatically.
When you have finished cooking, the cooling fan will continue to run until the oven has
cooled down.
For performance reasons, the convection fan may be turned on or off during the operation.
