NOTE
If the oven was recently heated from prior cooking and has remained heated, the bake element symbol may not show in the display immediately.
During the first rise of temperature, the bake and broil elements will cycle for a better heat distribution.
Setting Convection Bake
The CONVECT BAKE pad controls the convection bake feature. The oven can be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 170°F to 550°F with a default temperature of 350°F.
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat evenly and continuously within the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with convection bake. Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook time for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown more evenly.
Convection Baking Tips:
•When using convection bake, adjust the cook time for desired doneness as needed. Time reductions will vary depending on the amount and type of food to be cooked. Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low sides to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food baked on pans with a dark finish will cook faster.
•Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with convection bake.
•When using convection bake with a single rack, place oven rack in position 2 or 3. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 2 and 4 (Figure 1).
To set the oven for Convection Bake and temperature to 375°F
1.Arrange interior oven racks and place food in oven.
2.Press CONVECT BAKE. “CONV BAKE” will flash and “350°” will appear in the display. If a Convection Bake of 350°F is needed, press START.
3.Press 3 7 5. “CONV BAKE” will keep flashing and “375°” will appear in the display.
4.Press START. “CONV BAKE” will stop flashing and the fan icon will appear in the display. A beep will sound once the oven temperature reaches 375°F and the display will show “375°”, “CONVECT”, “BAKE” and the fan icon.
NOTE
Pressing CANCEL will stop the feature at any time.

Benefits of Convection Bake:
—Multiple rack baking.
—Some foods cook faster, saving time and energy.
—No special pans or bakeware needed.
NOTE
The convection fan will start AS SOON AS the oven is set for Convection Bake. The display will show an icon of rotating fan within a square. This rotating fan icon indicates when the Convection Fan is operating.
