Setting Oven Controls Setting Convection Bake (cont'd) ; @ Use the Convection Bake feature when fast cooking is desired. The oven can be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 300°F and 550°F. Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven"s heat evenly and continuously within the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distribution allows even cooking and browning results at a lower temperature than conventional bake. It also gives better baking results when using 2 or 3 racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly. For baking efficiency, the fan rotates slower in Convection Bake than in Convection Roast. Note: Allow 6 minutes for the convection fan to start rotating. Figure 1 Air circulation during Convection Bake General Convection 1. Bake Instructions Benefits --Multiple of Convection rack baking. Bake: Adjust the cook time for desired doneness as needed. Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster. Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position 8. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 6 and 11 (see page 13). Bake at 350°F 2. 3. --No special pans or bakeware needed. To set the oven to Convection 1. 2. 3. 4. Arrange interior oven racks, place food in oven and close oven door. Turn the selector control knob to Conv Bake (Figure 2). Turn the temperature control knob to 350 (Figure 3). The temperature will appear briefly in the oven control display. The display will beep indicating that the temperature is set. Then the temperature will disappear from the display. When baking is completed, turn the temperature and the selector control knobs to Off position. Figure 2 Figure 3 Setting Convection Roast Figure 4 Figure 5 This method of cooking enables you to obtain the best results when roasting. Allow your oven to preheat before roasting. A beep will let you know when the convection roast temperature is reached. The oven can be programmed to convection roast at any temperature from 300°F to 550°F. Remember to use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection roasting when using the convection mode. For roasting efficiency, the fan rotates faster in Convection Roast than in Convection Bake. Note: Allow 6 minutes for the convection fan to start rotating. To Set the oven to Convection 1. 2. 3. 4. Roast at 350°F Arrange interior oven racks, place food in oven and close oven door. Turn the selector control knob to Conv Roast (Figure 4). Turn the temperature control knob to 350 (Figure 5). The temperature will appear briefly in the oven control display. The display will beep indicating that the temperature is set. Then the temperature will disappear from the display. When baking is completed, turn the temperature and the selector control knobs to Off position. Setting Convection Convert The appliance is equipped with a feature which will allow you to change from a normal baking recipe temperature to a convection baking temperature without making any manual temperature adjustment; the controller will do it automatically.

This function will lower the oven temperature by 25°F less than the control setting. When convection baking is completed turn the temperature and the selector control knobs to Off position. Note: The oven temperature indicator will show a temperature 25°F lower than temperature control knob setting. 17
