SETTING CONVECTION BAKE (Upper oven
only)
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. Some food
may 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.
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. 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 2. If cooking on multiple racks,
place the oven racks in positions 1 & 3.
• Most baked goods (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 fi nish will cook faster.
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. The
Bake, Broil and Convection elements will also cycle for
a better heat distribution.
Í NOTE
The lower oven is not equipped with a convection fan &
element. All the associated convection cooking features
will not be available in this oven.
