Setting Oven Controls 15 Convection Bake Convection Bake uses a fan and three elements to circulate the oven heat evenly and continuously (Figure 16) throughout the oven. The improved heat distribution allows for even cooking with excellent results. Multiple rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some food types, but the overall result will be time saved. The convection bake feature should only be used when your recipe instructions have been written especially for convection baking. If your recipe instructions are for regular baking and you wish to use convection bake, follow the convection convert option instructions. The convection convert option 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 cook more evenly Convection bake may be set with convection convert, rapid preheat, cook time or cook time with end time settings and probe. The following temperature settings apply to the convection bake feature: • Factory default setting: 350°F (176°C) • Minimum bake setting: 170°F (77°C) • Maximum bake setting: 550°F (288°C) Convection baking tips: • When baking with a single rack use rack position 3 and center the food in the oven cavity. • Layer cakes will have better results using the convection bake feature. Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits, and breads. • When using two glide racks use rack positions 2 and 6. • When using a flat rack with a glide rack, use position 7 for the flat rack and 2 for the glide rack, or place the flat rack in position 2 and the glide rack in position 6. • Bake cookies and biscuits on pans with no sides or very low side to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food items baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster. • When placing multiple food items in the oven allow 2 - 4 inches (5-10cm) of space between the food items for proper air circulation. • For best results when baking cakes using 2 glide racks, place bakeware on rack positions 2 and 6, (Figure 17) and position cookware allowing 2-4 inches (5-10cm) of space between the food items to ensure proper circulation.(Figure 18) 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Figure 16: Convection air flow To set convection bake with the factory default temperature of 350° (176°): 1. Press conv bake. . 2. Press START. Figure 17: Rack positions • 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 temperature 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 often. Doing so will reduce the oven temperature and may increase cook time. The convection fan will turn off when the door is opened and resume operation when the door is closed. • For multiple-rack convection baking, place items on racks as shown in Figure 18. IMPORTANT! When preheating oven is needed before baking, be sure to press cook options after selecting conv bake, then press rapid preheat before pressing START. To stop convection bake at anytime press CANCEL.
