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.
Convection Bake
Benefi ts 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):
After the oven reaches set temperature, 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 and/or Delay Start
The following temperature settings apply to the
conv bake feature:
• Auto-suggest (default) setting: 350°F/177°C
• Min. bake setting : 170°F / 77°C
• Max. bake setting: 550°F / 288°C
• When baking with a single rack use rack
positions 2 or 3. When using 2 racks use rack
positions 1 (offset rack) & 3. When using 3 racks
use rack positions 1, 3 & 4.
• When baking cookies and biscuits on multiple
racks, use positions 1 and 4. When baking cakes
on multiple racks, use positions 1 (offset rack)
and 3.
• 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 fi nish 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.
For best results
The Conv Bake feature is recommended when
baking on multiple racks.
If your recipe instructions are for normal baking
and you wish to use convection bake, follow the

convection convert option will automatically adjust
the oven temperature so that convection baking
may provide the best possible result
