Convection Bake (some models)
Benefits of the convection bake feature
--Foods may cool< up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time and
energy.
--Multiple rack baking.
--No special pans or bakeware needed.
Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven_s heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using two oven racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Breads and pastry brown more evenly.
Most food items will cool< faster and more evenly with the convection feature.
Conv (Convection) Bake may be set for any oven temperature between ]70°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Suggestions for Convection baking:
"For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.
Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe's recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe's instructions using the minimum recommended cool< time.
For best results when using a single oven rack, place rack in position 4 or 5 (See Fig. 1). When using 2 oven racks, place in positions 2 & 5. When using 3 oven racks place in positions 2, 4, & 7 (use offset rack only in position 7).
Example; to set Cony (Convection) Bake with a default oven set temperature of 350°F:
1.Press Cony Bake key pad (some models) or Press Convection Bake key pad (some models).
2.Press STARt .
To cancel Conv Bake (Convection Bake) at anytime press STOP.

important notes:
"The convection fan will begin rotating once convection bake or convection roast has been activated.
"If the oven door is opened when any convection function
is active, the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.
"When using convection bake cool< time reductions may
vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.
"Layer cakes will have better results using the normal Bake function.
Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware resulting in dark or overbrowning of foods. It may be necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to prevent overbrowning of some foods. Dark pans are recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for cakes, cookies and muffins.
