Setting Oven Controls
Setting Convection Bake
Use the Convection Bake feature when fast cooking is desired. The oven can be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 170°F and 550°F. Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven'sheat evenly and continuously within the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, 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. Convection bake cooks most foods faster and more evenly than conventional bake.
General Convection Bake instructions
1.Adjust the cook time for desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked. 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.
2.Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.
3.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 3 and 12
(see page 7).
To set the oven to Convection Bake at 350 o F
1.Arrange interior oven racks, place food in oven and close oven door.
2.Turn the selector control knob to Conv Bake (Figure 2). The convection fan will start.
3.Turn the temperature control knob to 35o (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.
4.When baking is completed, turn the temperature and the selector control knobs to Off position.

Benefits of Convection Bake:
Setting Convection Roast
This method of cooking enables you to obtain the best results when roasting. The oven can be programmed to convection roast at any temperature from 170°F to 550°F. Remember to use tested recipes with times adjusted for convection roasting when using the convection mode. Times may be reduced by as much
as 30% when using the convection feature.
To Set the oven to Convection Roast at 350 o F
1.Arrange interior oven racks, place food in oven and close oven door.
2.Turn the selector control knob to Cony Roast(Figure 4). The convection fan will start.
3.Turn the temperature control knob to 35o (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.
4.When baking is completed, turn the temperature and the selector control knobs to Off position.
