Using the convection oven. (on some models) | GEAppliances.com |
Safety
In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food. This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned – often in less time than with regular heat.
Convection Baking
Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on multiple shelves.
•Good for large quantities of baked foods.
•Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food.
The Convection Fan
During Convection Bake, the fan will operate continuously. The fan will stop when the oven door is opened, but the heat will not turn off.
The fan will resume operation when the door is closed. During preheating (PrE) the fan will come on for 10 seconds and then shut off.
Auto Temp Conversion
When convection baking, the Auto Temp Conversion feature automatically reduces the set regular baking temperature by 20°F.
Increase the Convection Baking temperature setting 20°F higher for faster cooking of large cuts of meat and poultry.
