OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Convection Convert
Convection convert automatically converts a standard
baking recipe for convection baking. When set properly, this
feature is designed to display the actual converted
(reduced) temperature in the display. Convection convert
may only be used with a convection bake cooking mode. It
can be used with a delay start and bake time. For delay
start instructions, see page 19. For bake time instructions,
see page 19. If convection conversion is used with the bake
time and delay start features, CF (check food) will be
displayed when 75% of the bake time complete. At this time
the oven control will sound three long beeps at regular
intervals until baking time is finished. The control will
display End and continue to beep at regular intervals until
off is pressed.
To set the oven for convection bake with a standard
baking recipe temperature of 400°F:
1. Arrange interior oven racks.
2. Press convect. Convect and bake will flash and 350
will appear in the display.
3. Pres 4 0 0. Convect and bake will keep flashing and
400° will appear in the display.
4. Press start.
5. Set bake time or delay start if needed. For delay start
instructions, see page 19. For bake time instructions,
see page 19.
6. Press convect convert, and the oven will start heating.
The temperature displayed will be 25°F lower than what
it used to be. The actual oven temperature and the fan
icon will be displayed. A beep will sound once the oven
temperature reaches 375°F, and the display will show
375°, CONVECT, BAKE, and the fan icon.
7. Place food in the oven.
Convection bake/convert tips:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
cakes, biscuits, and breads.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that
the food is in the center of the oven.
• For best results when baking cakes using two oven
racks, place racks in positions 2 and 4 (Figure 8).
• When baking using two oven racks, position cookware
as shown in Figure 9. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of
space between cookware for proper air circulation.
• Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny
bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temper-
ature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some
foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny
bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and
muffins.
• When using convection, use bakeware with low sides.
This allows the air to circulate around the food evenly.
• Because most food items will cook faster and more
evenly with the convection feature, it is advisable to
reduce recipe’s recommended temperature by 25° for
best results. Follow the recipe’s instructions using the
minimum recommended cook time.
• When using convection bake, cook time reductions may
vary depending on the amount and type of food being
cooked.
• For batter and dough-based baked goods such as
cakes, pastries, and breads, use the convection bake
function for best results. Place the pans as shown in
Figure 9
• Do not open the oven door often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase
bake time.
• Glass bakeware may require reduced temperatures.
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.
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn
the oven off. If the fire continues, throw baking soda on
the fire or use a fire extinguisher. Do not put water or flour
on fire. Flour may be explosive, and water can cause a
grease fire to spread and cause personal injury.
CAUTION
WARNING
When using a bake time under 20 minutes, the convec-
tion convert will not beep and display the CF message.
Pressing off will stop the feature at any time. Bake, broil,
and convection elements will cycle for better heat distri-
bution and faster and more even cooking.
