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 tem-
perature 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.

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 oven
can be programmed for Convection baking at
any temperature between 170°F to 550°F with
a default temperature of 350°F.
