convection baking tips:
• Always preheat your oven before using the Convection Bake mode.
•
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 the temperature 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 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 2 and 6 or 1, 4 and 7.
•
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.

Convection Bake
Air Flow
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 hidden bake burner, the hidden convection
element and a fan to circulate the oven’s heat
evenly and continuously within the oven. The
oven can be programmed for Convection baking
at any temperature between 300°F to 550°F with
a default temperature of 350°F.
