Convection Bake Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly around the oven. Heated air flows around the food from all sides. The convection fan will turn on after 6 minutes. Convect bake may be set for any oven temperature between 300°F (148°C) and 550°F (288°C). Benefits of convection cooking include: • Multiple rack baking. • This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and browning results. Baking tips • Fully preheat the oven before baking. • Convection bake is best for baking cookies on multiple racks. Place cookies on rack positions 4 and 7 and position pans as shown in figure 21. • When baking cakes using convection function place racks in positions 3 and 6 and place bakeware as shown in figure 21. • When using any single rack, use rack position 5 so the rack and food is in the center of the oven. • When cooking with three oven racks, place racks on positions 1, 3, and 6. • Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature by 25° and reduce cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Shiny bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins. • Glass cookware may require reduced temperatures. • Use pans or cookware with low sides. This allows the air to circulate around food evenly. • Unless the recipe is written for convection cooking, reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe's recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe's instructions. • Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase cook time. OVEN CONTROLS To set convection bake with a default oven set temperature of 350°F: 1. Press convect key once. 2. Convect bake and 350° will appear in the display. 3. Press start. 4. The convection fan will turn on after 6 minutes and stay on during the cooking process. 5. To cancel convection bake at any time, press off. 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Figure 18: Air movement using convection Important notes: • If the oven door is opened when convection bake is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.

Convection Bake

Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat

uniformly around the oven. Heated air flows around the

food from all sides. The convection fan will turn on after 6

minutes.

Convect bake may be set for any oven temperature

between 300°F (

148°C

) and 550°F (288°C).

Benefits of convection cooking include:

•

Multiple rack baking.

•

This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking

and browning results.

Baking tips

•

Fully preheat the oven before baking.

•

Convection bake is best for baking cookies on multiple

racks. Place cookies on rack positions 4 and 7 and

position pans as shown in figure 21.

•

When baking cakes using convection function place

racks in positions 3 and 6 and place bakeware as

shown in figure 21.

•

When using any single rack, use rack position 5 so the

rack and food is in the center of the oven.

•

When cooking with three oven racks, place racks on

positions 1, 3, and 6.

•

Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny

bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven

temperature by 25° and reduce cook time to prevent

overbrowning of some foods. Shiny bakeware is

recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins.

•

Glass cookware may require reduced temperatures.

•

Use pans or cookware with low sides. This allows the

air to circulate around food evenly.

•

Unless the recipe is written for convection cooking,

reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s

recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder

of the recipe’s instructions.

•

Do not open oven door often. Opening the door will

reduce the temperature in the oven and may increase

cook time.
