Setting Oven Controls 27
CONVECTION BAKE
Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat uni-
formly and continuously around the oven (Figure 32). 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.
Rack positions are 1 (glide rack) and 4 (flat rack). The convec-
tion bake feature is best used for multiple rack baking. Use this
feature when the recipe instructions have been written espe-
cially for convection baking. If the recipe instructions are for
baking and you wish to use convection baking, follow the
“Convection Convert” instructions on page 28. 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
• Rapid preheat
• Meat probe
• Cook time or cook time with end time settings
To set convection bake with the factory default temperature
of 350°F (176°C):
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when working with a hot
oven. When baking, the oven interior and oven racks will
become hot enough to cause burns.
IMPORTANT! If the oven door is opened when convection
bake is active, the convection fans will stop rotating until the
oven door is closed.
When using convection bake, bake time reductions may vary
depending on the amount and type of food being baked.

1. Arrange interior oven racks.
2. Press UPPER OVEN to light up the
available cooking modes keys.
3. Press conv bake.
4. Press START enter. The display will
show PRE-HEATING.
5. Place food in the oven when the
chime signals, the temperature dis-
play shows that the oven has reached
the set target temperature, and PRE-
HEATING disappears. Remove food
once complete.
6. Press CANCEL off to stop or cancel
the convection bake feature at any
time.
