Kenmore 790.4672 - Manual (Page 24)

The CONVECTION BAKE pad controls the Convection Bake feature.
Use the Convection Bake feature when faster cooking 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 bake. This oven is
equipped with multiple fan speeds for even cooking when baking and better tasting
meats when roasting. It uses a slower fan speed for baking. The slow fan speed
slowly and evenly moves the air through the oven cavity and produces lighter,
flakier crusts for pies and evenly browns cookies.
General Convection Bake Instructions
1. 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.
