As the oven preheats, the temperature is displayed and rises in 5-degree increments.
OPERATION 33 The convection system uses a fan to circulate heat evenly within the oven. This improves heat distribution and allows for even cooking and excellent results, especially when using multiple racks. Convection cooking can also shorten cooking times. Convection Bake Setting the Conv. Bake Function (example: to Conv. Bake 375 °F) Convection Baking Chart If auto conversion is disabled, reduce standard recipe temperature by 25 °F (14 °C) for Convection Bake.
34 OPERATION Cookware for Convection Cooking Convection Roast Any cookware safe for use in a conventional oven will work in a convection oven. But for best results, keep the following in mind.
