Convection baking
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.
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. With
single rack convection baking the 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.
