Convection Fan Operation

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food.

This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time with convection heat.

NOTE: To maximize cooking evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both directions, with a pause in between. This is normal.

The convection fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

Instructions Operating

Introduction

The convection oven comes with two convection baking modes: Convection Bake Multi and Convection Bake 1 Rack:

MULTI—for convection cooking on more than one rack. Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/1 RACK pad and then the 2 pad. See the Multi-Rack Convection Baking section below.

1 RACK—for convection cooking on one rack only. Touch the CONVECTION BAKE MULTI/1 RACK and then the 1 pad. See the 1-Rack Convection Baking section below.

Instructions Care

Multi-rack position.

Multi-Rack Convection Baking

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple racks.

Multi-rack baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads give very good results with multi-rack baking.

To cook food on more than one rack in convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE MULTI.

When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the second (A) position, another rack in the fourth (C) position and the third rack in the sixth (E) position.

For two-rack baking, place one rack in the second (B) rack position. Place the other rack in the fifth (E) rack position.
