Setting Convection Bake

Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and browning results. Multiple racks cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved.

The Conv Bake feature should ONLY be used when your recipe instructions have been written for use with convection baking.

If your recipe instructions are for normal baking and you wish to use convection bake, follow the Convection Convert option instructions. The convection convert option will automatically adjust the oven temperature so that convection baking may provide the best possible result.

Conv Bake may be set with the following option:

•Conv Convert

•Cook Time and / or Delay Start

Benefits of Convection Bake

•Multiple rack baking.

•No special pans or bakeware needed.

For best results

•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.

•Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.

•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.
