Bake element During convection baking or roasting, the bake and broil elements cycle on and off in intervals to maintain the oven temperature, while the fan constantly circulates the hot air. If the lower oven door is opened during convection baking or roasting, the broil element and fan will turn off immediately and the bake element will turn off in 2 minutes. They will come back on once the door is closed. s For optimal cooking results, do not use aluminum foil. s Reduce recipe temperature 25°F (14°C). The cook time may need to be reduced also. To Convection Bake or Roast: Before convection baking or roasting, position the racks according to the "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When using two racks, place them on rack positions 2 and 4. When roasting with CONVECT BAKE, use the roasting rack on top of the broiler pan and grid.
