Setting Convection Bake
The CONVECTION BAKE _,,_k_,,,,_pad controls the Convection Bake feature.
Use the Convection Bake feature when cooking speed Jsdesired. The oven can
be programmed for Convection baking at any temperature between 170°F
(77°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 thesame time. Breads and pastries brown more evenly. Convection bake
cooks most foods faster and more evenly than conventional bake. This oven is
equipped with multiple fan speeds for even cooking when baking and better tasting
meats when roasting, it will use a slower fan speed for convection baking. The
slow fan speed slowly and evenly moves the air through the cavity to produce
lighter flakier crusts for pies and evenly brown cookies.
General Convection Bake Instructions
1. 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. Preheating Js not necessary when cooking casseroles with Convection
Bake.
3. When using Convection Bake with a single rack, place oven rack inposition
2 or 3. ifcooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 2 and
4.
