Setting Convection Bake
The CONV BAKE Convbake pad controls the Convection Bake feature. The oven
can be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 170° F (77°C) to 550° F (288° C).
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven (Figure 1). This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with Convection Bake. 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.
General Convection Bake Instructions
1.When using Convection Bake, 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 2 or 3. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 2 and 4.
