Convect
Benefits of the convection features
—Foods cook more evenly
—Multiple rack baking
—No special pans or bakeware needed
The convect feature uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in juices and flavors. Convect provides better results when baking using multiple oven racks. Most foods cooked with a bake setting will cook faster and more evenly when using the convect features.
Suggestions for convect baking
•For optimum results it is recommended to preheat the oven before baking foods such as cookies, biscuits and breads.
•Reduce the oven temperature 25°F from the recipe’s recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum recommended cook time.
•When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in positions 2 & 5 for best results (Fig. 1).

NOTES
•When using the convect features, any cook time reductions used may need to vary depending on the oven set temperature.
•When baking layer cakes, use the bake feature to obtain the best possible results.
•The convect fan will not start until 6 minutes after setting the convect bake or convect roast features.
•If the oven door is opened when a convect feature is active, the convect fan will stop rotating until the oven door is closed.

Suggestions for convect roasting
•Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using convect roast.
•Since convect roast cooks faster, reduce cook times by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.
•Do not cover foods when dry roasting - this will prevent the meat from browning properly.
