CONVECTION BAKING
Use the Convection Bake feature when fast cooking is desired. The oven can be
programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 170°F and 550°F.
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously
within the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even
cooking and browning results at a lower temperature than conventional bake. It also
gives better baking results when using 2 or 3 racks at the same time. Breads and
pastries brown more evenly. Convection bake cooks most foods faster and more evenly
than conventional bake. For baking efficiency, the fan rotates slower in Convection
Bake than in Convection Roast.
General Convection Bake Instructions
1. Adjust the cook time for desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will vary
depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked.
2. Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to
allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish
will cook faster.
To set the oven to Convection Bake at 350°F
1. Arrange interior oven racks, place food in oven and close oven door.
2. Turn the selector control knob to Conv Bake. The corresponding indicator light will flash.
3. Turn the temperature control knob to 350. The indicator light will stop flashing and
the oven will begin to heat. A beep will sound once the oven reaches 350°F. The
indicator light will remain on until the Selector or Temperature control knob is turned
to the Off position.
4. When baking is completed, turn the temperature and selector control knobs to Off position.
Benefits of
Convection Bake:
—Some foods cook up
to 30% faster,
saving time and
energy.
—Multiple rack baking.
—No special pans or
bakeware needed.

CONVECTION ROASTING
This method of cooking enables you to obtain the best results when roasting. All
baking modes can be used to successfully roast in your oven. However, the
Convection Roast mode is recommended to produce meats that are deliciously
seared on the outside and succulently juicy on the inside in less time. The oven
can be programmed to convection roast at any temperature from 170°F to 550°F.
Remember to use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection roasting when
using the convection mode. Times may be reduced by as much as 30% when
using the convection feature. For roasting efficiency, the fan rotates faster in
Convection Roast than in Convection Bake. When preparing meats for convection
roasting, use the broiler pan and insert along with a roasting rack. The roasting
rack will allow to heat to circulate around the meat.
