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 175 °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.

Tip 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 (when baking cookies) or 2 and 4 (when

baking cakes).

How to set the oven for convection baking

1. Start the convection baking mode.

Press Bake. The default temperature is 350 °F.

2. Enter the temperature you want, eg. 400 °F, using the number pad. Set the temperature that is

called for in the recipe.

3. Press Oven Start/Set to begin convection baking.

The Conv.Bake icon 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 175 °F.

A beep will sound 6 times when the oven reaches the adjusted oven temperature.

4. To turn o or cancel convection baking, press Oven O.

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.

If you leave the oven door open for more than 2 minutes when the oven is on, all heating

elements will shut o automatically.

When you have ﬁnished cooking, the cooling fan will continue to run until the oven has

cooled down.

For performance reasons, the convection fan may be turned on or o during the operation.
