Convection Mode
The convection system uses a fan to circulate heat
evenly within the oven. This improves heat distribution
and allows for even cooking and excellent results,
especially when using multiple racks. Convection
cooking can also shorten cooking times.

• Convection Bake cooks faster and more evenly
when cooking foods like cookies, biscuits, rolls,
or other baked goods on a single rack. Cookies,
muffins, and biscuits will have very good results
when using multiple racks.
• Multiple rack cooking may slightly increase times
for some foods, but the overall time is reduced.
• Convection Bake gives excellent results for quick
breads and yeast breads of all kinds, and breads
and pastries brown more evenly.
• Do not use Convection Bake for delicate items like
custards, souffles, or cheesecakes, which may be
disturbed by the convection fan.

• The convection cooking modes automatically
reduce the oven temperature by 25 °F (14 °C).
The display shows the changed temperature.

• The range comes with this feature enabled.

the door is left open for longer than 30 seconds
during baking, the fan stops.
