Convection Cooking This mode of cooking enables you to obtain the best results when baking with multiple pans and racks. The oven can be programmed for convection baking at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F. The convection function uses a fan to circulate the oven heat uniformly and continuously around the oven (Figure 14). 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. Benefits of convection cooking: • Multiple rack baking. • Some foods may cook faster, saving time and energy. Convection baking tips: • Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, cakes, biscuits, and breads. • For single rack baking, position the rack so that food is in the center of the oven. • If your recipe cooking temperature has already been converted for convection baking, there is no need to reduce your oven temperature. If not, see "Setting Convection Convert" on page 21 for further instructions on temperature conversion. • For best results when baking cakes using two oven racks, place racks in positions 3 with offset rack and 5 using flat rack (See Figure 14). When baking using two oven racks, position cookware as shown in Figure 15. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between cookware for proper air circulation. • Dark or dull bakeware absorbs more heat than shiny bakeware. It may be necessary to reduce oven temperature and cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark bakeware is recommended for pies. Shiny bakeware is recommended for cakes, cookies, and muffins. • Do not open oven door too often. Doing so reduces oven temperature and may extend cooking time. • Most baked goods (except cakes) should be baked on pans with no sides or low sides to allow air to circulate. SETTING OVEN CONTROLS Setting Convection Bake To set the oven for convection bake and temperature to 375°F: 1. Arrange interior oven racks. 2. Turn the oven mode selector to CONVECT BAKE. 3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 375°F. The oven temperature light will blink for a few seconds before sounding a chime confirming the setting. The convection fan will turn on and the oven will begin heating. Once the oven reaches the set temperature the oven will sound a chime indicating the food items can be placed in the oven. When finished baking, be sure to return both the temperature selector knob and the oven mode knob to the OFF positions. 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Figure 14: Convection air flow Figure 15: Pan spacing suggestion 19
