Setting Convection Bake
Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat
uniformly and continuously around the oven (Figure 51). This
improved heat distribution allows for fast, even baking and
browning results. It also gives better baking results when using
two oven racks at the same time. Heated air flows around the
food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and
pastry brown more evenly. Most foods baked in a standard pan
will bake faster and more evenly with the convection feature.
Multiple rack baking may slightly increase bake time for some
foods, but the overall result is time saved.
Convection Bake is available only in the lower oven, and it may
be set for any oven temperature between 300°F (148°C) to
550°F (288°C).
Important: The convection bake feature is best used when the
recipe instructions have been written especially for convection
baking. If the recipe instructions are for baking and you wish to
use convection baking, follow the "Setting Convection Convert"
instructions on page 26. Convection convert will automatically
adjust the oven temperature so that convection baking will
provide the best possible results.
Benefits of convection bake:
• Superior multiple oven rack performance
• Foods bake more evenly
• No special pans or bakeware required
• Foods can bake up to 25 to 30% faster.
Convection bake may be set with the following options:
• Convection convert
• Cook time
To set Convection Bake with the default oven set temperature
of 350°F (177°C):
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven exterior, oven
racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Do not bake food directly on the oven bottom.
To avoid damaging the oven interior and surfaces, always bake
food in the oven using bakeware positioned on an oven rack.
1. Arrange oven racks and place food in the oven.
2. Press Lower Oven.
3. Press Conv Bake (Figure 52).

4. Press START. The actual oven temperature will be displayed.

5. A beep will sound once the oven temperature reaches
350°F (1 77°C). The convection fan will start as soon as
convection bake has been into the cycle for six minutes
(Figure 54).

6. Press STOP to cancel Convection Bake at any time.
