Convection Bake Air Flow

Setting Oven Controls
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 temperature probe can be used
in this cooking mode. 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
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like
cookies, cakes, biscuits and breads.
• If your recipe’s baking 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 the temperature 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 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.
• Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans
with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air
to circulate around the food.
• For single rack baking, use the radiant bake
function.
• When baking using two oven racks, position
cookware as shown in Figure 2.
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between
bakeware to allow for proper air circulation.
• 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 cook time to prevent
overbrowning of some foods.
• Dark pans are recommended for pies; shiny pans
arerecommendedforcakes,cookies,andmufns.
• Do not open oven door often. Opening the door
will reduce the temperature in the oven and may
increase cook time.
