Cooking Functions
TruConvec™ Cooking
During TruConvec™
cooking, the rear element
heats the air inside the
oven. A motorized fan
circulates the air in the
oven cavity for even
heating. The food is
warmed evenly on all sides
making it possible to bake
on one or two levels
simultaneously. The
cooking time can be
reduced slightly by
increasing the cooking temperature. Use this setting for baking muffins,
yeast breads, quickbreads and cakes. This setting is also recommended
when baking large quantities of baked goods at one time.
Recommended temperature: 360°F (180°C)
Range: 90°F (30°C) – 440°F (230°C)
• Press the “Function” button four times.
• and appears in the text display.
TruConvec™ Cooking Tips
• When baking cakes or biscuits, put the mixture or dough in the baking
form and place on the multi-purpose cooking tray to bake.
• During TruConvec™ cooking, if the temperature is above 210°F
(100°C) and the door is opened, cooking will stop. To resume cooking,
close the door.
• Dehydrate: If the oven temperature is below 210°F (100°C), it is
possible to operate TruConvec™ cooking with the door open to dry
foods such as fruits and vegetables.
• When cooking with convection, reduce the temperature by 25˚F (10˚C).
Some recipes may require adjustment and testing when converting
from conventional to convection cooking. Compare temperatures in
the chart to recipes. If you suspect the temperature is too high, select
a lower temperature.
• If the food is nice and brown on the outside but still raw in the middle,
the oven temperature is too high. Slightly reduce the temperature and
lengthen the cooking time.
Even browning is achieved at lower temperatures. Food
