Convection Baking/Convert Tips
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits, and breads.
• When using any single oven rack, position the rack in the
oven so that the food is in the center of the oven.
• When baking cakes using two oven racks, place bakeware
in positions 2 and 7 (Figure 22) and place pans as shown in
Figure 21. Use a flat rack in position 7 and a glide rack in
position 2.
• Use positions 2 and 7 for multiple-rack convection baking,
position. Use a flat rack in position 7 and a glide rack in
position 2.
• Allow 2 inches (5 cm) of space between bakeware to allow
for proper air circulation.
• Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no
sides or very low sides to allow air to circulate around the
food.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware, resulting in dark or overbrowned foods. It may
be necessary to reduce oven temperature or bake time to
prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark bakeware is
recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended
for cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase bake
time.
• Reduce oven temperature 25°F (14°C) from recipe’s
recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of
the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended
bake time.
• For cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection bake
function for best results when using multiple racks.
Convection Convert
Use convection convert to automatically convert any normal
baking recipe into a convection bake recipe. The control uses
the normal recipe settings and adjusts to a lower temperature
for convection baking. When set properly, this feature is
designed to display the actual converted (reduced) temperature
in the display. Convection convert may only be used with a con-
vection bake cooking mode.
Benefits of convection convert:
• Superior multiple oven rack performance
• Some foods bake faster, saving time and energy
• No special bakeware required
When using convection convert, bake time reductions may vary
depending on the open temperature setting. Convection convert
reduces original temperatures by 25°F (14°C).
To set convection convert with the factory default oven
temperature of 350°F (176°C):
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven.
When baking, the oven interior and oven racks will become very
hot which can cause burns.
Convection convert can be set after the convection bake
function is started by pressing cook options, and then pressing
conv convert.
