Setting Conv Bake
Benefits of the convection bake feature:
• Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and
energy.
• Multiple rack baking.
Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven heat
uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat
distribution allows for fast, even cooking 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 food items will cook faster and more evenly with the
convection feature.
Conv Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 300°F
(148°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Suggestions for Convection baking:
• For optimum cooking results it is recommended to preheat
the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and
breads.
• Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s recommended
oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s
instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.
• For best results when using a single oven rack, place rack in
position 3 or 4 (Figure 28). When using 2 oven racks, place
in positions 3 & 5. When using 3 oven racks place in
positions 2, 4, & 6 (use offset rack only in position 6).
To set Conv Bake with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:
1. Press Conv Bake.
2. Press .
To cancel Conv Bake at any time press .
• The convection fan will begin rotating 6 minutes after Conv
Bake, Conv Roast or Conv Convert has been activated.
• If the oven door is opened when any convection function is
active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven
door is closed.
• When using Conv Bake cook time reductions may vary
depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.
• Dark or dull pans and glass absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware resulting in dark or over browning of foods. To
prevent this it may be necessary to reduce the oven temper-
ature or cook time to prevent over browning of some foods.
Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are
recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins.
• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven.
