Setting Oven Controls Setting Convection Bake The CONVECTION BAKE _ pad controls the Convection Bake feature. v Use the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven can be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 170 ° F (77 ° C) to 550 ° F (288 ° C). Air circulation during Convection Bake Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distributionallows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using 2 or 3 racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly. Convection bake cooks most foods faster, at lower temperature and more evenly than conventional bake. This oven is equipped with multiple fan speeds for even cooking when baking end better tasting meats when roasting. It will use a slower fan speed for baking. The slow fan speed slowlyand evenly moves the air through the cavity and produce lighterflakier crusts for pies and evenly brown cookies.
