Convection bake
Convection (cony) bake uses a fan to circulate the oven heat
evenly and continuously (Figure 42). The improved heat distri-
bution allows for even cooking with excellent results. Multiple
rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some food
types, but the overall result wilt be time saved.
The conv bake feature should only be used when your recipe
instructions have been written especially for convection baking.
If your recipe instructions are for baking and you wish to use
conv bake, follow the conv convert option instructions. The conv
convert option wilt automatically adjust the oven temperature so
that convection baking wilt provide the best possible results.

•Superior multiple oven rack performance.
• Foods cook more evenly.
• No special pans or bake ware required.

When baking with a single rack use rack positions 2 or 3. When
using 2 racks use rack positions 2 and 4. When using 3 racks
use rack positions 2, 3 and 5.
• Layer cakes wilt have better results using the normal bake
feature. For best results it is recommended to preheat the
oven before baking items like cookies, biscuits and breads.
• Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no
sides or very tow side to allow heated air to circulate around
the food. Food items baked on pans with a dark finish will
cook faster.
• When placing multiple food items in the oven allow 2-4
inches (5-10cm) of space between the food items for proper
air circulation.
• For multiple-rack convection baking, place items on racks
as shown in Figure 44.
