Setting Convection Bake
Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat
uniformly 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.
Convection Bake may be set for any oven temperature between
200°F (93°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Benefits of Convection Bake:
• Superior multiple oven rack performance
• Foods bake more evenly
• Foods can bake up to 25 to 30% faster.
Important note:
The convection bake feature is best used when the recipe
instructions have been written especially for convection baking.
To set Conv Bake with a 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 racks, and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Do not bake foods directly on the oven bottom.
To avoid damaging the oven interior and surfaces, always bake
foods in the oven using bakeware positioned on an oven rack.
1. Arrange interior oven racks.
2. Turn the oven mode selector to Conv Bake.
3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 350°F.
4. The oven temperature light will blink for a few seconds
before confirming the setting. The convection fan will turn
on and the oven will begin heating.
5. Once the oven reaches the set temperature the oven will
sound a chime indicating the food items can be placed in
the oven.
6. When finished baking, be sure to return both the tempera-
ture selector knob and the oven mode knob to the OFF posi-
tions.
Important:
• The convection fan will begin rotating once convection bake
or convection roast has been activated. If the oven door is
opened when the convection function is active, the convec-
tion fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.
