Setting Convection Bake
The CONVECTION BAKE pad controls the Convection Bake feature.
Use the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven
can be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 325 ° F
(163 ° C) to 550° F (288 ° C).
Convection baking uses afan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously
within the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and
browning results. 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 baking.
General Convection Bake Instructions
1. When using Convection Bake, decrease your normal cooking times as
shown aside. Adjust the cook time for desired doneness as needed. Time
reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be
cooked. Cookies and biscuits should be baked on cookie sheet 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.
2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.
3. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in
position 2 or 3. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in
positions 2 and 3.
Benefits of Convection Bake:
--Some foods cook up to 30% faster, saving time and energy.
--Multiple rack baking.
--No special pans or bake ware needed.
