How to set the oven for convection baking

Oven Mode knob Temperature knob

Convection Baking is ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on single or multiple racks.

When set on Convection Bake, the rear bake element and the fan operate whenever the oven is heating.

Turn the Oven Mode knob to CONV BAKE/ 1 RACK (Convection Bake 1-Rack mode) for 1- rack convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on only 1 rack in convection bake.

Turn the Oven Mode knob to CONV BAKE/MULTI (Convection Bake Multi mode) for multi-rack convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on more than one rack (i.e. 2, 3 or more racks) at the same time in Convection Bake. See the Multi-rack convection baking section for more information.

Using the Temperature knob, set the desired temperature, in 25°F increments, from 200°F to 550°F.

The oven and the oven interior lights will turn on immediately and stay on until the oven is turned off.

The convection fan will turn on (after a short delay), the PREHEAT light will turn on and 100°F will appear in the display. (The temperature display will start to change once the oven temperature reaches 100°F.) The control will beep when the oven is preheated—this will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes. The PREHEAT light will turn off and the display will show the set temperature.

When the PREHEAT light goes off, place food in the oven.

Check the food for doneness at the minimum time on the recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

Turn the Oven Mode knob and the Temperature knob to OFF when convection cooking is finished.

NOTE: A cooling fan will turn on to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
