Setting Convection Bake
The CONVECTION BAKE (|akp controls the Convection Bake feature. Use
the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven can be
programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 170° F (77° C)
to 550° F (288° C).
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and
continuously within the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distribution
allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking
results when using 2 or 3 racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brown
more evenly. Convection bake cooks most foods faster and more evenly than
conventional baking.
General Convection Bake Instructions
1. When using Convection Bake, decrease your normal cooking times. Adjust
the cook time for desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will vary
depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked. Cookies and
biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow
heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark
finish will cook faster.
2. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection
Bake.
3. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in
position 2 or 3. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in
positions 2 and 4.
