show in the display immediately.
During the fi rst rise of temperature, the bake and broil
elements will cycle for a better heat distribution.
Í NOTE
Pressing CANCEL will stop the bake feature at any time.
To change the Bake Temperature (example:
changing from 375°F to 425°F)
1. After the oven has already been set to bake at 375°F
and the oven temperature needs to be changed to
425°F, press BAKE. “375°” will appear and “BAKE”

SETTING CONVECTION BAKE
The CONVECT BAKE pad controls the convection bake
feature. 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 uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat
evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved
heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent
results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods
cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster
and more evenly with convection bake. Multiple oven rack
cooking may slightly increase cook time for some foods,
but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries
brown more evenly.
Convection Baking Tips:
• When using convection bake, 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 fi nish will cook faster.
• Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles
with convection bake.
• 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 (Figure 1).
To set the oven for Convection Bake and
temperature to 375°F
1. Arrange interior oven racks and place food in oven.
2. Press CONVECT BAKE. “CONV BAKE” will
fl ash and “350°” will appear in the display. If a
Convection Bake of 350°F is needed, press START.
3. Press 3 7 5. “CONV BAKE” will keep fl ashing and
“375°” will appear in the display.
4. Press START. “CONV BAKE” will stop fl ashing and
the fan icon will appear in the display. A beep will
sound once the oven temperature reaches 375°F and
the display will show “375°”, “CONVECT”, “BAKE”
and the fan icon.
Benefi ts of Convection Bake:
— Multiple rack baking.
— Some foods cook faster, saving time and energy.
— No special pans or bakeware needed.
Í NOTE
Pressing CANCEL will stop the feature at any time.
Í NOTE
The convection fan will start AS SOON AS the oven is
set for Convection Bake. The display will show an icon
of rotating fan within a square. This rotating fan icon
indicates when the Convection Fan is operating.
