results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods

cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with convection baking. Multiple oven

rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown more evenly.

Tips for convection baking

The amount of time you save will vary depending on the amount and type of food you are cooking. When baking cookies or biscuits, you should use pans with no sides or very low sides to allow the heated air to circulate around the food. Using a pan with a dark finish will allow faster cooking times.

When using convection baking with a single rack, place the oven rack in position 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 2 and 5 or positions 2, 4 and 6.

When baking a cake, using the bake mode will produce better results.

How to set the oven for convection baking

1. Start the convection baking mode.

Press the CONV. BAKE pad. The default temperature is 350°F.

2. Enter the temperature you want, eg. 400°F, by using the number pads.

3. Press the SET/START pad to begin convection baking.

Conv. Bake and the adjusted oven temperature, eg. 375°F, will appear in the display for 2 seconds.

The temperature display will start to change once the oven temperature reaches 150°F.

A beep will sound 6 times when the adjusted oven temperature, eg. 375°F, is reached and the display will show the auto-converted oven temperature.

4. Turn off or cancel convection baking by pressing the CLEAR/OFF pad.

In convection baking mode, the oven automatically reduces the set regular baking temperature by 25°F to the appropriate conversion temperature.

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened.

DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.
