OPERATING THE OVEN
CONVECTION BAKING
By using the convection bake feature, you will be able
to cook faster. You can program the oven for convection
baking at any temperature between 150 °F and 550 °F.
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat
evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved
heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent
results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods
cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster
and more evenly with convection baking. Multiple oven
rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved.
Breads and pastries brown more evenly.
Tips for convection baking
The amount of time you save will vary depending on the amount and type of food you are
cooking. When baking cookies or biscuits, you should use pans with no sides or very low sides
to allow the heated air to circulate around the food. Using a pan with a dark finish will allow faster
cooking times.
When using convection baking with a single rack, place the oven rack in position 4. If cooking on
multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 2 and 5 or positions 3, 5 and 6.
When baking a cake, using the bake mode will produce better results.
How to set the oven for convection baking
1. Start the convection baking mode.
Press the CONV. BAKE pad. The default temperature is 350 °F.
2. Enter the temperature you want, eg. 400 °F, using the number
pad.
3. Press the START/SET pad to begin convection baking.
Conv. Bake and the adjusted oven temperature, eg. 400 °F, will
appear in the display for 2 seconds.
The temperature display will start to change once the oven
temperature reaches 150 °F.
A beep will sound 6 times when the oven reaches the adjusted
oven temperature.
4. Turn o or cancel convection baking by pressing the CLEAR/OFF
pad.
The convection oven fan shuts o when the oven door is opened.
DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you
may shorten the life of the convection heating element.
