Convection (conv) bake uses a fan to circulate the oven heat evenly and continuously (Figure 1). The improved heat distribution allows for even cooking with excellent results. Multiple rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some food types, but the overall result will be time saved.
The conv bake feature should only be used when your recipe instructions have been written especially for convection baking.
If your recipe instructions are for baking and you wish to use conv bake, follow the conv convert option instructions. The conv convert option will automatically adjust the oven temperature so that convection baking will provide the best possible results.

•Superior multiple oven rack performance.
•Foods cook more evenly.
•No special pans or bakeware required.
Conv bake may be set with the following options:
