Bake (some models)

Benefits of the convection bake feature

— Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and

energy.

— Multiple rack baking.

— No special pans or bakeware needed.

Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat

uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved

heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and

browning results. It also gives better baking results when

using two oven racks at the same time.

Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in

juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly.

Most food items will cook faster and more evenly with the

convection feature.

Conv (Convection) Bake may be set for any oven

temperature between 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).

Suggestions for Convection baking:

• For optimum cooking results it is recommended to

preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,

biscuits and breads.

• Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s

recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder

of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum

recommended cook time.

• For best results when using a single oven rack, place

rack in position 4 or 5 (See Fig. 1). When using 2 oven

racks, place in positions 2 & 5. When using 3 oven racks

place in positions 2, 4, & 7 (use offset rack only in

position 7).

Example; to set Conv (Convection) Bake with a default

oven set temperature of 350° F:

1. Press Conv Bake key pad (some models) or

Press Convection Bake key pad (some models).

2. Press START .

Important notes:

• The convection fan will begin rotating once convection

bake or convection roast has been activated.

• If the oven door is opened when any convection function

is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the

oven door is closed.

• When using convection bake cook time reductions may

vary depending on the amount and type of food being

cooked.

• Layer cakes will have better results using the normal

Bake function.

• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny

bakeware resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It

may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or

cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark

pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are

recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins.
