OVEN CONTROLS
Convection Bake
Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's
heat uniformly around the oven. This improved heat
distribution allows for even cooking and browning
results. Heated air flows around the food from all
sides.
Convection bake may be set for any oven tempera-
ture between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).
Benefits of convection cooking include:
•
Multiple rack baking.
Convection baking tips:
•
Use Convection Bake for best results when bak-
ing cookies and cakes on 2 racks.
•
For best results it is recommended to preheat
the oven before baking items like cookies, bis-
cuits and breads and move pans to front of the
racks.
•
If your recipe is not written for convection bak-
ing, reduce the oven temperature by 25° or use
Convection Convert option.
•
No special pans or bakeware required.
•
For cookies use the following racks:
•
Single rack baking use 3 (flat rack).
•
Two rack baking use 2 (flat) and 5 (glide).
•
For baking cakes use the following rack positions
and place bakeware as shown in Figure 3. In up-
per rack use position 4 (glide) or 5 (flat).
•
Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans
with no sides or very low side to allow heated air
to circulate around the food. Food items baked
on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.
•
Leave oven lights off while baking.
Convection Convert
Convection Convert automatically reduces the oven
temperature from what is specified in most baking
recipes to compensate for the increased cooking ef-
ficiency of convection baking.
