Using the convection oven. (on some models) GEAppliances.com
Convection Baking
Ideal for evenly browned baked foods
cooked on multiple shelves.
• Good for large quantities of baked
foods.
• Good results with cookies, biscuits,
brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs,
sweet rolls, angel food cake and
bread. The convection fan circulates
the heated air evenly over and
around the food.
The Convection Fan
During Convection Bake, the fan will
operate continuously. The fan will stop
when the oven door is opened, but the
heat will not turn off. The fan will resume
operation when the door is closed.
During preheating (PrE) the fan will come
on for 10 seconds and then shut off.
Auto Temp Conversion
When convection baking, the Auto Temp
Conversion feature automatically
reduces the set regular baking
temperature by 20°F.
Increase the Convection Baking
temperature setting 20°F higher
for faster cooking of large cuts
of meat and poultry.
How to Set the Oven for
Convection Baking
Touch the Convection Bake pad.
Touch the + or – pads until the
desired temperature is displayed.
Touch the Start/On pad.
The oven will start automatically.
The display will show PrE while
preheating. When the oven reaches
the selected temperature, the oven
control will beep several times and
the display will show the oven
temperature.
Check food for doneness
at the minimum time on the recipe.
Cook longer if necessary.
Touch the Clear/Off pad when
baking is finished, and then remove
the food from the oven.
To change the oven temperature during
Convection Bake, touch the Convection
Bake pad and then the + or – pads
to set the new temperature.
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot
air over, under and around the food. This
circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result,
foods are evenly cooked and browned –
often in less time than with regular heat.
When baking cookies, you will get the
best results if you use a flat cookie sheet
instead of a pan with low sides.
Cookware for Convection
Cooking
Before using your convection oven,
check to see if your cookware leaves
room for air circulation in the oven. If
you are baking with several pans, leave
space between them. Also, be sure the
pans do not touch each other or the
walls of the oven.
Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic
containers that are recommended for
use in regular baking can also be used
for convection baking but should not be
used at temperatures higher than the
temperature recommended by the
cookware manufacturer. Plastic
cookware that is heat-resistant to
temperatures of 400°F can also be used.
Metal and Glass
Any type of cookware will work in your
convection oven; however, metal pans
heat the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.
• Darkened or matte-finished pans will
bake faster than shiny pans.
• Glass or ceramic pans cook more
slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,
use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with
high sides.
