CONVECTION BAKING
As a general rule, convection baking will allow preparation of most foods at reduced temperatures for shorter periods of time, while producing superior results.
Typically, you can reduce standard bake temperatures by 25°F and cook for 10% to 25% less time. When using the convection bake mode, the temperature is automatically reduced by the electronic oven control, so the oven cooking temperature should be set to the temperature the recipe recommends.
In the convection bake mode, a third heating element, encircling the convection fan located in the rear of the chamber, acts as the heat source. The convection fan draws air from the oven chamber, and then forces it across the hot convection element. The heated air is directed back into the chamber through the convection baffle. The baffle distributes the air evenly to ensure uniform results. Temperatures may be set from 170°F to 500°F.
General Convection Bake Instructions
1When using convection bake, decrease your normal cooking time by 25% to start. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked.
2Baking pans with no sides or very low sides should be used to bake on so heated air can be allowed to circulate around the food. Food baked on a darker finish will cook faster.
To set the oven for Convection Bake and temperature to 350°F:
1Arrange oven racks to desired position.
2Turn selector knob to Convection Bake.
3The corresponding LED light will flash.
4Turn temperature control knob to 350°F.
5The LED light will stop flashing, and the oven will begin to preheat. A beep will sound once the oven temperature reaches 350°F. The LED light will remain on until the Selector knob is turned to the off position or the temperature control knob is turned to the off position.
To change the Convection Bake temperature (example changing from 350°F to 425°F):
1After the oven has already been set at 350°F, and the oven temperature needs to be changed to 425°F, turn the temperature control knob to 425°F. A beep will sound when the oven temperature reaches 425°F.
