The CONVECTION BAKE | _ | pad controls the Convection Bake feature. |
Use the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed is desired. The oven can be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 300 ° F (149 ° C) to 550 ° F (288 ° C).
Convection baking uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat evenly and continuously within the oven (See Figure 1). This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results. It also gives better baking results when using 2 or 3 racks at the same time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly. Convection bake cooks most foods faster, more evenly and at lower temperatures than conventional bake.
General Convection Bake Instructions
t.Convection Bake 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.
2.The oven control automatically reduces the convection bake temperature called for in a conventional bake recipe.
3.Preheating is not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection Bake.
4.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.
