The CONVECTION BAKE
Conv
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 (149° C)
to 550° F (288° C).
Convection baking uses a fan 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
Benefits of Convection Bake:
—Some foods cook up to 30% faster,

*Recommended reduction in cook times
based on brands of food items tested.
Cook times may vary with your specific
brand of food item.
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 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.
