Cooking Modes
CONVECTION BAKING
This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best culinary results when baking with multiple pans
and racks. Multiple rack baking may slightly increase cook time for some foods but the overall result
is time saved. Most foods cooked in a standard oven will cook faster and more evenly with Convection
Bake. Convection baking uses the three elements and a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and
continuously within the oven. The temperature probe can be used in this cooking mode. The oven
can be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F with a default
temperature of 350°F.
Convection Baking Tips:
• Always preheat your oven before using the Convection Bake
mode.
• During preheat, the 3 elements and the convection fan are used in
cycle to quickly heat the oven.
• If your recipe cooking temperature has already been converted
for convection baking there is no need to reduce your oven
temperature. If your recipe has not had the temperature
converted for convection baking you can easily reduce using the
Convection Convert feature. Please see Convection Convert
section on next page for further instruction on temperature
conversion.
• Use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection baking when using this mode. With
single rack convection baking the some foods may have as much as a 25% reduction in
cook time, check food at minimum time. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount
and type of food to be cooked.
• When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position 3 or 4. If cooking
on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 3 and 8 (offset rack) or 2, 4 and 8.
• Most bakeries (except cakes) 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.
