Convec. Bake
Benefits of convection cooking:
°Foods cook 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'sheat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for lash 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 foods baked in a standard will cook faster and more evenly with the convection feature.
Convec. Baize may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) to 550°F (288°C).
Suggestions for Convec. Bake:
°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 cook 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).

Important notes:
*The convection fan will begin rotating once Convec. Baize has been activated.
*If the oven door is opened when Convec. Baize is active,
the convection fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.
*When using Convec. Baize cook time reductions may vary depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.
*Layer cakes will have better results using the normal Baize 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.
