Convection bake is part of the Perfect-Convect³™
system. Convection bake uses a fan to circulate
the oven heat evenly and continuously. The
improved heat distribution allows for even cooking
with excellent results. Multiple rack cooking may
slightly increase cook times for some foods, but
the overall result is time saved.

About convection bake Setting convection bake
Benefits of convection bake:
• Superior multiple oven rack performance.
• Some foods cook up 25 to 30% faster, saving
time and energy.
• No special pans or bakeware required.
See the example below to set conv bake, starting
immediately with the auto-suggest (default) setting
of 350°F (176°C).
Once START is pressed the oven will begin
heating. The oven display shows PRE-HEATING
during this time.
After the oven reaches set temperature, PRE-
HEATING will turn off and a beep will indicate the
oven is ready. The oven will continue to maintain
this temperature until the cooking feature is canceled.
Conv bake may be set with the following options:
• Conv convert
• Cook time or cook time with end time
• Probe
• Rapid preheat
The following temperature settings apply to the
conv bake feature:
• Auto-suggest (default) setting: 350°F/176°C
• Min. bake setting : 170°F / 76°C
• Max. bake setting: 550°F / 288°C
• You may press CANCEL any time when
setting the control or when cooking.
NOTE
• When baking with a single rack use rack
positions 2 or 3. When using 2 racks use rack
positions 2 & 4. When using 3 racks use rack
positions 2, 3 & 5.
• Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans
with no sides or very low side to allow heated air
to circulate around the food.
• Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook
faster.
• When placing multiple food items in the oven
allow 2-4” (5-10cm) of space between the food
items for proper air circulation.

Setting Oven Controls
The conv bake feature should ONLY be used when
your recipe instructions have been written for use
with convection baking.
If your recipe instructions are for normal baking and
you wish to use convection bake, follow the
Convection Convert option instructions. The
convection convert option will automatically adjust
the oven temperature so that convection baking
may provide the best possible results.
Once conv bake has started the convection fan
make take up to 6 minutes to turn on. This will
allow for proper gas combustion.
