FAQs About Convection Bake
What is Convection Bake?

How do I adjust the time for Convection Bake?
Answer: On average, convection will shorten the cooking time by 30% but it varies by food. It is suggested to go with a shorter cooking time to start with and then add time if it is needed.
What are the best foods to use with Convection Bake?
Answer: While a shorter cook time is often desirable, baked goods in particular benefit from convection cooking as the circulating air keeps oven temperature consistent throughout.

Helpful Tips / Troubleshooting
Problem | Potential Cause | Solution |
Overcooked / Undercooked Foods | Incorrect temperature or time setting | You may have to adjust the time and temperature to desired taste. To set the timer for less than 20 minutes, turn the timer past the 20-minute mark to engage timer switch and then turn it back to desired time. Because your countertop oven is smaller than your regular oven, it will heat up faster and generally cook in shorter periods of time. |
