Cooking Modes
CONVECTION BAKING
This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best culinary results when baking with
multiple pans and racks. Multiple rack baking may slightly increase cook time for some
foods but the overall result is time saved. Most foods cooked in a standard oven will cook
faster and more evenly with Convection Bake. Convection baking uses the three elements
and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. The oven
can be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F
with a default temperature of 350°F.
Convection Baking Tips:
• Always preheat your oven before using the Convection Bake mode.
• If your recipe cooking temperature has already been converted for
convection baking there is no need to reduce your oven temperature.
If your recipe has not had the temperature converted for convection
baking you can easily reduce the temperature using the Convection
Convert feature. Please see Convection Convert section on next
page for further instruction on temperature conversion.
• Use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection baking when
using this mode. With single rack convection baking some foods
may have as much as a 25% reduction in cook time; check food at
minimum time. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount
and type of food to be cooked.
• When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in
position 3 or 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in
positions 2 and 6 or 1, 4 and 7.
• Most bakeries (except cakes) 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 fi nish will cook faster.
